Giant Boar are a type of wild pig, renowned for their ferocity and tempermental nature. Large, heavily muscled bodies that can produce speeds in excess of 30 miles an hour with long, over-sized tusks that can tear a Human male open from his throat to his groin in one swing of its head.

Genetics and Reproduction
Capable of producing large numbers of young when mating pairs can be brought together. Litters of six to twelve piglets are the norm.

Males will fight each other brutally for the right to breed.
