ECOLOGY

Environment any forest
Organization solitary
Treasure incidental

A furious boar is an embodiment of nature’s wrath. They are often invoked by druids, nature spirits, or even minor gods when ignorant humanoids destroy a forest. Vines from the remaining trees and bushes grow around and into a chosen dire boar. The plants act as a conduit to the natural world, awakening and empowering the beast to mete out justice for the wounded land. The boar is a creature of vengeance, not justice, and often kills the innocent alongside the guilty. After the murder lust of the boar’s maker is satiated, the beast lays down to die, and the plantlife growing within it births the heart of a new woods.
