Humans of high intelligence were used for the "[[Final Experiment]]", while those of low intelligence were turned into the pig slaves. One individual, [[Laszlo]], was only partially transformed. | ||

They were amazingly strong, being able to restrain a human with ease. They were also vicious fighters and were trained to slit a human's throat with their bare teeth. They were killed by [[Martha Jones]] and Laszlo with electricity from a lightning strike ([[DW]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]''/ ''[[Evolution of the Daleks]]''). Because historical records of the pig slaves were sketchy and they did not belong to an actual alien race, speculation by the [[Torchwood Institute]] seemed to posit that [[Weevil]]s had been rife in 1930s Manhattan.
