Pokemon guinea pig. Swinubs size and appearance seem to be based on a mix of a peruvian guinea pig and a wild boar piglet. Fandom apps take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat.

It may also be based on wordplay of the groundhog.
It may also come from marmot the japanese name for the guinea pig. Tepig is a quadruped pig like pokemon that is primarily orange. Swinub also resembles the marsupial mole. Guinea pigs arent fast so they would lose speed but they are aggressive so i think it would excel in physical attack and decent special attack.
Its fur pattern is reminiscent of a chullo an andean style of hat. Capig is based on a guinea pig. The abilities it could have is static fur coat because of their tuffs of fur and maybe analytic since they can remember complex pathways and such. Both are similar in characteristics and behavior while ground hog describes swinubs type and species quite well.
Morpeko may be a combination of morph and harapeko which is japanese for hungry or starving.
