Where Did The Pigmen Come From?

In the province of Wynn, there is an explanation for all the Zombies and Skeletons roaming around. But the Zombie Pigmen are somewhat of an anomaly. They could come from the nether, sure, but then why are they in Mount Wynn, the Pigman Ravines along with Pigmen Lords, and a cave along the emerald trail?
Why are the pigman in all of these places while the other nether mobs are just in the Roots of Corruption?
(by the way, what level are those mobs?)
What causes the Zombie Pigmen? I don't think there are enough Boars to be corrupted into this many pigmen...

 

He's got a point, and a good one...

 

You know all those boars or pigs you kill in the start? They re-spawn into life and get struck with lightning while being born turning them into the zombies they are today.

 

Good point, also the blazes there are level fourty. (the area is level 40) and then there is one level 45? boss blaze

 

It's only ever lightning'd once or twice on the server before, possibly before pigmen were a thing. Not sure.

So how do you explain respawns, especially when you see them respawn with no lightning?

 

They are also in Gavel. But there is no explanation for the pigmen. They were around before there was really much lore or an explanation for things.

 

so they aren't from corruption then

 

They come from Salted's imagination

 

no, because there is no corruption in Gavel, SORRY @Salted (no hard feelings)

 

Baby Pigmen come when Mommy and Daddy Pigman smile a lot and nine months later, a nice bird flies by and drops off the Baby Pigman

 

Stork... It's a stork

 

I always thought that it was the Magic from the DoT causing some weird effect on the flora and animals. Tainted flowers, crazy horses, slow-mo boars, pig-humanoids, infected jungles, and ancient artifacts nature-based are all weird things never explained and are circled around the DoT. I'm assuming it'll make since soon enough.

Wait.... I said soon without TM

I'M GONNA DIE

 

Thanks!

Well, one way I saw it was that, since the Pigmen are nether mobs in Minecraft, they were Corrupted...
But corruption is not decay, so they shouldn't exist in Gavel...
Are we missing some evil power?

 

How about that, I don't know and good question so how about making a lore how. This gotta be interesting.

 

If the Decay or Corruption isn't behind them... what is?

I don't think the door is evil...

 

The only evil power here is the lack of lore behind pigmen

 

Maybe the lore is what Grian and the other developers of Wynncraft knows but why they could keep this from us is I don't know. Hmmm......
Oh wait, they don't care. :(

 

He isn't saying the door of evil. Magic isn't inherently evil, it's a tool. But it's a very... messy tool that sometimes leaks (like a bucket of paint with a small hole on the side). That leakage causes strange magical phenomens, such as the insane horses and pigmen. The door may not be evil, but you can't say that it's not at least a large factor of whatever's going on there. At least, that's my theory. It's probably wrong, but whatever.

 

Looking too deep into things 101

 

Well there are 2 solutions to this,

1. Wynn Logic
2. MineCraft Logic

1. Wynn Logic: They could've been corrupted which would explain the disappearance of the boars from time valley lore wise. We do know corruption is strong enough to take on entire islands and vast amounts of land, so it could be powerful enough to wipe entire species such as boars and turn them into mindless zombies

2. MineCraft Logic: For those who don't know, if a pig is struck by lightning it turns into a pigman. This could have been the case with the boars, they got struck by lightning and possibly turned into pigmen. It would make sense because they are between a mountainous biome, and a forest biome. The lightning we all know can travel down trees and possibly shocking the pigs while they were under a tree,or without reality logic, the tree could've burnt and either A ran into the open/ B stayed there and got shocked anyways, or they either climbed up too high on a mountain and ZAP

BACON FOR ALL


But in my opinion, I think the Wynn lore is better
