The "Alpha Pig" can be easily identified by both its grayish skin and the scars covering most of its body.
A herd is led by an Alpha Flesh, most often the most experienced and long lived one. They are familial creatures and usually travel the Zone in herds numbering five or six Fleshes. A side benefit of this mutation is their enlarged eye, which can see in a greater spectrum of light and has olfactory receptors within (in layman's terms, the flesh can smell with its eyes). The pigs have developed a protective layer of scales and bones, their regeneration potential grew significantly and their nervous system became more complex. This eventually caused the animal's phenotype to change significantly.Ī mutant pig of this type, known as a "Flesh" among stalkers, is one of the clearest examples of the Zone's perversion of nature. Like many other living creatures, domestic pigs in The Zone underwent serious mutations following the second Chernobyl disaster, affecting genes responsible for their metabolism.
