Gameplay
Similar to the crocodile, the boar is an aggressive animal capable of attacking and damaging the player. If the player stays in the vicinity of a boar for too long, it will make a squealing sound and start to charge towards the player. If the boar hits the player with its charge, it deals a moderate amount of damage to the player's health. After a charge (regardless of whether it successfully hits the player), the animal retreats a small distance before attacking again or wandering off.
Caution is advised as boars tend to spawn in groups of two or three, allowing for a possible surprise attack if one boar is evaded and a second one comes around. They can charge towards the player and deal a fair amount of damage upon hitting, often attacking in groups of two or three. When killed, 2 meat can be collected from them and their head can be picked up and used to create a decoration.

Location
Boars only appear in the northern half of map. They usually can be found roaming in a scattered group of two or three north of the river. They are most common in the highlands ridge above the lakes, up into the tundra. Boars are the most substantial food source in the tundra along with the deer, as other larger game don't spawn that far north.
Hunting
As mentioned above, hunting boars can provide a steady amount of meat with a relatively low amount of work. When approaching the boar while running, or directly following a missed attack, the boar will attempt to flee. Fleeing boars run in semi-unpredictable paths, but as they are slower than the player's sprint, it can be quite easy to kill one. With an upgraded spear or katana, the boar will always take a single hit to kill, but can take up to two hits to kill with a plane axe.
Another choice is to range the boar using a crafted bow or modern bow and arrow or simply throwing a spear. Because of the boar's relatively large size, it is quite an easy target.
Known Bugs
- Sometimes boars seem to ignore the player, not attacking at all.
