Ruehog

Ruehog is a fictional creature that appears in the video game "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door". It is a recurring enemy encountered in various locations throughout the game. Ruehogs are characterized by their pig-like appearance and their tendency to charge at Mario.

In combat, Ruehogs typically possess a "Charge" attack, where they sprint directly at Mario. This attack often requires Mario to guard effectively to mitigate damage. They are relatively simple enemies to defeat, but their charge can be a nuisance if not properly handled. Ruehogs have a distinctive squealing sound effect when they attack or are defeated.

The design of the Ruehog is consistent with the paper-craft aesthetic of the game, featuring simple shapes and textures. They are often found in groups, making them a more significant threat when encountered in larger numbers. The Ruehog serves as a foundational enemy type within the game, introducing players to basic combat mechanics and enemy patterns. They are not particularly strong or complex, but their presence contributes to the overall ecosystem of the game's enemies.
