A Woodland Boar is a stocky species of [[boar]] with a hunched back and rotund abdomen. Its a quadruped that walks on muscular legs, each one ending in a cloven hoof. The body is covered in grayish-blue fur, with the abdomen and head being a lighter shade than the darker legs, haunches, tail, and ears. Spots appear down the back of the same dark color. A short mane rises from the Boar’s shoulders and furry ruffs extend from its cheeks. The eyes are small and beady. The Boar’s snout is long and narrow, and is used to dig through the ground when grazing. Short crimson tusks poke out of the mouth, which are used to defend itself when charging at potential threats. The tail is short and ends in tufts of hair. The tail stands up when the Boar is startled by a sound.
