Monster:Boar
From LOTRO Lorebook
Despite the many dangers which lurk in the dark corners of the woods and mountains, Middle-earth is not solely populated by evil beasts and monsters. In nearly every region, animals of a most natural order can be found roaming, going about their own business. Not all of these animals are harmless, however. There are many dangers which do not serve the Enemy in Mordor.
Boars of every kind are often found in plains and woodlands. Though none now are as terrifying or mighty as the great boar of Everholt that once terrorized the Firien Wood in Rohan, these tusked pigs are generally wild and vicious. Care should be taken when traveling through the woods, for the rustle in the underbrush may not be a hare or squirrel.
[edit] Boars
[edit]
Aggressive tusked beasts common to woodland regions. The most famous of all the boars of Middle-earth was the great Boar of Everholt, that lived beneath the trees of the Firien Wood. This boar was hunted by King Folca of Rohan, and though he eventually killed his quarry, the King was mortally wounded in the encounter.
