Hoofed spirits are possibly the most varied type of beast spirit with some more academically inclined Shamans believing they should be broken into smaller categories, such as swine and deer. However, most Shamans are unconcerned with such classifications and care only about the spirits they interact with.
Despite the variety, there are general similarities among hoofed spirits. They are social and protective of their family and territory. What they consider their family is large and often ill-defined, but their family knows. Outside of these circumstances, these spirits are peaceful and often willing to share their territory with those who pose no threat. Boar spirits are an exception and generally regarded as troublemakers.
They're reluctant to be the aggressor when summoned, but make excellent guardians and sentries. Earning the trust and becoming family to hoofed spirits is easier than many other kinds, but still challenging. They respect strength and restraint: It’s just as important to know when to fight as it is to fight. However, when family is at stake, never back down. Their interests when summoned always advance their family, though some wish to enhance their standing within their family — this is always couched in terms of better protecting their family. Implying otherwise, even in jest, does no favors to the speaker.
