Kerpix

Kerpix was an enchanted pig who was particularly fond of scientific experiments. She once fooled the dwarf Fylgar that she was enchanted (which she was but not ->) in a way so if Fylgar would mate with her, she would lay a golden egg. Her real purpose was to see how a half-dwarf, half-pig child would look like. The result was Barone, who would eventually raise Veronique. Kerpix planned to reveal the truth to Barone some day, but it is not easy to confront your own daughter with such a truth. She never made it anyhow as Barone passed on earlier than expected (although indeed she was monstruosly obese).
