Swinub is a small {{wp|swine|porcine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Living in frigid temperatures, Swinub is covered in dense, brown, striped hair to keep it warm. The hair is so shaggy that it often covers its tuft-like small legs, making it appear like a legless lump. Swinub's eyes appear as if they are perpetually closed. | Swinub is a small {{wp|swine|porcine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

The only time that Swinub's eyes have been seen open was in [[Pokémon Adventures]], during the battle between [[Pryce]] and [[Erika]] in ''[[PS163|Bringing up Bellossom]]'', when Pryce ordered his Swinub to dodge Erika's {{p|Skiploom}}'s attack. | |||
Swinub uses its pink, pig-like nose to dig through mud and snow, looking for anything edible. In [[Hisui]], ancient people relied on Swinub a lot because of this skill. Occasionally, it will come across hot springs while scouring the ground. Its favorite food is a type of mushroom that grows beneath dead grass, though it also eats Berries. When a Swinub finds an attractive smell, it will run desperately to find out the source of the aroma. It inhabits cold places, such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|icy caves}}, mountainous regions, and frozen tundra. | Swinub uses its pink, pig-like nose to dig through mud and snow, looking for anything edible.
