Location(s)	Central and northern parts of the peninsula
Items	2 Meat 1 Boar Head 1 Boar Skin

Boars are hostile animals that were added in update v0.15 to The Forest

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 15 points damage to the player without armor. Charge attack can also remove a piece of worn armor. 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, though this is highly unlikely to happen in hard survival mode because of reduced animal spawn. 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 the peninsula. They usually can be found roaming north of the river up into the Mountain Area. Boars are the most substantial food source in the mountain area along with the deer, as other larger animals 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 its relatively large size, it is quite an easy target.

Known Bugs

Sometimes boars seem to ignore the player, not attacking at all.

+'''Boars''' are hostile [[animals]] that were added in update [[v0.15]] to '''''The Forest'''''
-==Behavior==
+== Gameplay ==
+Similar to the [[crocodile]], the '''boar''' is an aggressive '''animal''' capable of attacking and damaging the player.
-Like most wild animals in [[The Forest]], the boar will attempt to flee from the player when they get close, although unlike most animals it'll turn around and charge the player before swinging their heads in an attempt to hit the player with their tusks. It is easy to confuse the boar running away with a boar ready to attack, as the behaviour is very similar. Boars charging a player usually will run straight towards them, or will run a short distance and turn around.
+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 15 points damage to the player without [[armor]]. Charge attack can also remove a piece of worn '''armor'''. 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, though this is highly unlikely to happen in '''hard survival''' mode because of reduced animal spawn.
-The damage caused from the boars charge is quite unsubstantial, dealing similar damage to polluted water or spoiled meats. The damage is often times unnoticeable, and it can take some time to determine exactly what caused it if the player isn't expecting it. In multiple tests, the boars charge only did 1-2% of the health meter, and with armour had no discernible impact on it.
+When killed, 2 [[meat]] can be collected from them and their [[Animal Head|head]] can be picked up and used to create a [[Decorations|decoration]].
+{{Boar}}
+== Location ==
-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 players sprint, it can be quite easy to kill one. With an [[Upgraded Spear|upgraded spear]] or [[katana]], the boar will always take a single hit to kill, but can take 1-2 hits to kill with a [[plane axe]].
+'''Boars''' only appear in the northern half of the [[peninsula]]. They usually can be found roaming north of the [[river]] up into the [[Mountain Area]].
+'''Boars''' are the most substantial [[food]] source in the '''mountain area''' along with the [[deer]], as other larger [[animals]] don't spawn that far north.
-==Location==
+== Hunting ==
+As mentioned above, hunting '''boars''' can provide a steady amount of [[meat]] with a relatively low amount of work.
-From patch [[v0.18]] onwards, they only appear in the northern half of map. They usually an be found roaming in a scattered group of 2-3 north of the centre lakes. They are most common in the highlands ridge above the lakes, up into the tundra. They are the most substantial food source in the tundra along with the [[deer]], as other larger game don't spawn that far north.

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.

+Another choice is to range the '''boar''' using a [[Crafted Bow|crafted bow]] or [[Modern Bow|modern bow]] and [[arrow]] or simply throwing a [[spear]]. Because of its relatively large size, it is quite an easy target.
-==Notes==
-*They can sneak attack the player quite easily due fact the boar doesn't have any combat cue noises. This is likely because they were recently added, and players might be unaware of their ability to attack.
-*Boars almost always drop 2 generic meat
-*Boar heads can be used for decoration
