>>58923833>Spoink is based on the "pearls before swine" line in the bible with inspiration from the story where a legion of pigs are cast into the sea. That's why it's lore involves diving into the sea for pearls and that's also why they are psychic types, because the pearls symbolize wisdom.those are two entirely different stories.
You get that answer from an LLM or something?
Pearls before swine was a parable that was part of the Sermon on the Mount, about don't try to give holy wisdom to stubborn hypicritical idiots, they won't learn they'll just hate you for it. Matt 7.
The pigs going into the sea was the exorcism of the demonic collective Legion from a hyperviolent possessed man. They begged and pleaded incessantly for Jesus to not send them directly back to the Abyss but into some nearby pigs (notably, practicing jews should not have been pig farming, pigs are unclean forbidden meat/animals in judaism, so removing the sinful livestock was a solid 2-birds-1-stone compromise to offer), Jesus agrees, and the moment the demons possess the pigs they fling themselves off the nearby cliff into the lake and drowned. Matt 8 & Luke 8.
On my yeezies, you have a better case to make that primeape is based on the story of Legion (hyperviolent, broken manacles, pig face, annihilape is literally a dark spirit) than Grumpig is.
As for why the pearls create psychic power, in chinese mythology, dragons make black pearls (like the kind grumpig and spoink have, decidedly not white), and it contains some of their divine essence, whence comes their immortality, supernatural wisdom, Qi, etc.
Grumpig and Spoink definitely are pigs because of the biblical english idiom though.
