Boar, War

This giant boar is the size of a large pony that is well suited to its desert life, having made many of the same adaptations as the camel: long eyelashes, nostrils that can be readily closed, and the ability to store fat and water in its tissues.
It is bad-tempered, but intelligent and quite trainable (as a wild boar in most cases). It will faithfully serve a trainer who has gained its respect (and him only), defending him to the death if need be. It is used by many desert nomads as a war grunt because it will not allow itself to be used as a beast of burden.
Riding a war boar is covered by the Mounted Combat rules. There is no default from horse or other animal
riding for riding a war boar, however. The creatures will not tolerate anyone except the person who trained them
