Susan hadn't known that. "Does he?" she asked. "Well, he's one of the only ones that does, then, so far as I know." She didn't know about the Easter Bunny, either, fortunately for everyone. "The Hogfather...he's the same jolly fat man as Father Christmas, but he's got the tusks of a boar, and instead of reindeer he uses flying pigs to pull his sleigh. A lot of the Disc operates on a pig-based economy--he had to evolve from a winter demi-god when society changed, and that was the form he took. Strange, strange man, even if I did only meet him for a little while." And for part of that time he'd been a very smelly, half-dead boar.
