The vicious spines surrounding this boar’s head are almost as unnerving as the wild look in its eyes.
Bristle boars are native to plains and low hills and are well-known threats to trackers and scouts. The long, hollow spines surrounding their heads are reminiscent of porcupine spines, and make these boars deadlier than their common cousins. Bristle boars are quite lean and aren’t considered particularly good to eat—but a desperate adventurer faced with starvation could survive on the meat if necessary. A typical bristle boar stands roughly 4 feet off the ground and weighs 200 pounds.
