The Clazmonian Sow, (not to be confused with the more famous Crommyonian Sow), was a savage and formidable wild beast of which by no means should it be an enemy to be laughed at.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians[]
The Last Olympian[]
Percy Jackson had to face the Sow, right after he defeated the Titan Hyperion, when Kronos and his army sent the sow in to weaken the demigods while his army killed them, and tried to capture Olympus. Percy said it was like the boar's really angry girlfriend, and that it looked like a Thanksgiving Parade nightmre blimp with wings. Percy took a grappling hook and rope from an Athena's Cabin camper and swung it around the Sow's wing as it flew away, which left him dangling precariously from the rope as it flew. Blackjack the Pegasus came and let Percy ride on his back so that Percy could pursue the Sow. Percy attached the rope on the Sow's leg to a Hermes statue and then activated Plan Twenty-Three, which made the statue come to life and attack the Sow. Percy then did the same thing with some Lion Statues. Then finally, with the statues' help, Percy defeated the Sow. Percy said that he hoped it got to meet the "boar of its dreams" down in Tartarus.
Appearance[]
The sow is described to be similar to a huge pig with wings, with a cry that was similar to the Erymanthian Boar Percy encountered in The Titan's Curse. Her wings and skin were pink like a flamingo's that destroy all in its path, and she was able to rip up entire forests with her hooves and destroy wildlife with her noxious breath. It belches poisonous gas.
Trivia[]
- Previously mistaken for the Crommyonian Sow, offspring of Echidna, the mother of monsters. This sow used to be called Phaea and was defeated by Theseus on his way to Athens.
