Boars

In most ways identical to their real word counterparts. Large black boars, as tall as a stallion, can be found in the Dunnwood.

"These wild boars found in the oak forests of the Dunnwood stand as tall as a horse and are covered with long, thick fur—much like that which is found upon a musk ox. Though they can be fierce, they are content to live off of acorns, mushrooms, grubs, and tubers.

Hunting them is “the sport of kings,” and from time immemorial Kings of Heredon have sponsored lavish hunts for neighboring lords. Hence, the great boar is displayed upon King Sylvarresta’s family crest."
