Dire Boar

Dire Boar
Herd Animal, U Large Animal
Level 6 (+4)
"I don’t care what you say, McRuffles is a fine name for a Dire Boar! So what if he’s taciturn, violent, impulsive, and cranky all the time! He’s still my friend!"
——Rangdol, Dwarven Ranger
A Dire Boar can grow to roughly 8 feet long and weigh up to 2,000 lbs. These much larger, primal variants of common boars are extremely fierce and territorial, often attacking intruders without provocation. When not being bothered, they are relatively peaceful and spend much of their time rooting through their environment for vegetation they can consume. They will eat meat if necessary, but prefer vegetables. A Dire Boar always chooses to charge and gore an enemy with its large, sharp tusks, knocking it down and eviscerating it before it can stand.
