Wild Boar Shoveler

Few creatures are known to be as volatile and bad tempered as wild boars. Wild boars are physically very similar to domesticated hogs. Male boars have thick tusks protruding from their mouths. They are extremely territorial and when backed into a corner are fierce fighters. They typically live in a burrow, and if mated have about half a dozen offspring following closely behind them at all times. Boars are not hunters; they instead forage for large insects and plants. Their tusks are their only means of defense. Creatures often avoid confrontations with them due to the boar’s belligerent temperament.
