Wild Boars are found in many forested areas. They are omnivorous, eating anything and everything, even bones. This makes them popular pets for some, especially those with bodies to dispose of. Others, such as Orcs and Goblins allow Boars to run loose in their homes. This helps keep them clean of refuse, and the Boars also make for excellent guards.

Boars are extremely territorial and dangerous if spooked or if they feel threatened. Their tusks, used primarily for digging up roots, make formidable weapons.

They are quite often hunted for their flesh, which many consider to be extremely tasty. Boar hunters often do so with a special spear fitted with a cross beam that is intended to prevent an impaled Boar from pushing forward along the spear shaft to gore its tormentor.
