Do pygs talk?
How smart are they?
I've looked through my fluff and I can't find anywhere where they actually speak. And obviously they can use weapons and things but that doesn't actually make them intelligent. I'm curious if they are just more like intelligent pets, or actually have a respected value in Trollkin society.

Pygs are intelligent. There is a decent amount of fluff in the Iron Kingdons rpg about them.

In the RPG they are a fully playable race just like regular trollkin. They're fully sentient and sapient. They are supposedly pretty clever and can use their small size to their advantage.
Whelps (the ones that fall off your beasts when they get hurt) are the ones that are more like pets. They're not very intelligent and usually don't live very long.
Even full sized trolls and some dire trolls are capable of rudimentary speech. Overall, the troll races are pretty clever, tbh. It would be cool to see that aspect of troll beasts highlighted a bit more in the game I think.

Thanks. Have not looked at the RPG ever. Might have to see if I can grab a book on the cheap.

Yeah that does bug me. Most beasts can't even talk, but troll have an actual language (even if it is simple). |

Aparently smart enough to drive freaking TANKS! Yea. Um, I can't even begin to describe the depths of apathy I have for everything about that. So I'm just avoiding the whole topic. But point taken i suppose. |

But point taken i suppose. Ive always though pygs were as smart as normal trolls. The equipment they use suggests it. If the can operate slugger guns on top of dire trolls, why not drive tanks? |

My idea of the "smart tree" (lesser) warlocks solo's pygs character units units/ua/etc light troll beasts character heavies heavies gargs but that is just my wish to order anything I see  |

but that is just my wish to order anything I see I can certainly concur with this line of thinking. Being OCD is something I have been accused of many, many times. Although I think my case would be borderline at best. |
