The only problem I see is that the two cursed forms (Veritech and Pig) would
combine to make a ... VeriPig. Or something like that. (Remember Tarou's
cursed form is a melding of all the springs he's been in.)

This is incorrect, I'm afraid.  Tarou was baptized in ONE spring by Happosai.
The name was something like "Drowned-Yeti-Riding-A-Bull-While-Carrying-An-
Eel-And-A-Swan."  Whatever.  All four creatures drowned at the same time in
the same pool, that's the point. :)
