Boar

They call themselves "grunter hunters", but the small army of Australians who spend their weekends stalking wild pigs through the bush are finding themselves increasingly outnumbered. Their high-powered rifles, hunting dogs and "pig rigs" - specially equipped trucks - are proving no match for an explosion in the number of feral pigs roaming the country's forests, mountains and savannah plains.
Official estimates suggest there are now 23 million feral pigs in Australia, outnumbering the continent's human population of 21 million. They are the descendants of domestic pigs which explorers such as Captain Cook released as a living larder for future expeditions.
The animals found Australia to be hog heaven, with plentiful food, a balmy climate and no natural predators aside from the occasional crocodile and piglet-pinching dingoes. 
They have grown bigger and brawnier than their ancestors, with 150kg bristle-backed tuskers that are more than capable of goring a human to death. And perhaps the worst news is that their meat cannot be eaten, due to worm infestation and disease.
The animal is remarkably fecund. A sow can produce two litters a year, with up to 10 piglets in each litter. Within six months the young pigs are ready to breed. 
Where farmers once shot a dozen pigs a year, they are now bagging hundreds.

Boar was part of Stag's brood and traveled to Bandaiyan with the colonists. He's beloved by the Fenians and is their totem. Theurges in other camps are concerned about the growing number of bane-pigs and the taint spreading through mundane wild boars and worry that this is either representative of or causing corruption in the totem itself. Boar is incredibly bold by nature and protective of the Garou who swear to him.
