A sourhog is a boar-like monster introduced in A Porcine of Interest. It requires reinforced goggles to kill, or a Slayer helmet after the quest. If no protection is worn, the caustic saliva they spit will burn the player's eyes, draining the player's current Attack and Defence by 90% and cause 20-30 damage each hit accompanied by the player exclaiming Argh! My eyes!. Sourhogs are aggressive to players regardless of their combat level.

According to Spria, the sourhog was created when two farmers competed in a competition each year, with the same farmer winning each year. The other farmer, who was jealous of his rival, hired a dark wizard to alter one of his pigs, turning it into the Sourhog.^[1] This sourhog escaped and successfully bred more of its own kind.^[2] Sourhogs prefer to live in underground caves and in primitive tribes.^[3]

Drop rates are estimated based on 47,451 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

The average Sourhog kill is worth 705.6.

There is a 10/110 chance of rolling the herb drop table.

There is a 15/110 chance of rolling the allotment seed drop table.

There is a 9/110 chance of rolling the uncommon seed drop table.

There is a 1/110 chance of rolling the rare drop table. There is also a 5/110 chance of rolling the gem drop table.

• The examine text is a reference to the first line of the nursery rhyme: This Little Piggy.
• It is the lowest level monster with access to the rare drop table and will roll the gem drop table relatively often for its low level. This means they may be of interest for low level ironmen hunting for drops such as the shield left half and dragon spear. Compared to Goraks or burstable monsters such as Dust devils this is a lot slower, however.
