The hylochloerus, also called the giant boar, is a terrifying predator that is unlikely to be found near inhabited areas. The animal has extensive hairs on its body, though these tend to thin as the giant boar ages. In colour, it ranges from ratty brown to black. It's tusts may reach a length of 28 inches.
terrifying predator is unlikely to be found near inhabited areas. It is more aggressive than its smaller cousin, receiving a +2 to hit when attacking. It will bite with its powerful jaws and long lower teeth (9 to 11 in. in length), while hooking with one horn or the other (either, but not both). It may focus both attacks against a single defender or split its attacks.

Hylochloerus have been caught and caged, then released upon battlefields to break the will of the enemy. Despite its aggression, the animal is markedly intelligent and perceptive. They have been used as reliable watch-animals for druids and rangers, giving as much loyalty as might be expected from a dog.
