Razorback Boar

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Megafauna
Habitat: Dense forests and swamps
Threat Level: Dangerous

Description

Know that the Razorback differs from its common cousin as thunder differs from whisper. Standing tall as a war horse at the shoulder, this massive boar bears tusks like curved swords and a ridge of bone-hard spines along its back. Its hide turns aside all but the sharpest blades.

Behavior

Fiercely territorial and utterly fearless. The Razorback charges any perceived threat without hesitation, and few creatures survive the impact. They root through forests leaving destruction in their wake, and their wallows become hazardous bogs.

Combat Notes

The charge is lethal - avoid at all costs. Flanking attacks may find softer hide near the belly. Fire causes panic but also berserk rage. Hunt only in large, well-coordinated groups.
