Boars

Boars
Boar, from Ultima VII Part Two manual
Only appearance:	Ultima VII Part Two

The wild, suidae boars can be a dangerous prey for hunters, due to their sharps tusks and strong hooves.

Description

Despite the dangers, however, hunters make boars their primary targets, since their meat is delicious and usually considered to be worth the danger of hunting them for it. Legend has it that the humanoid orcs were originally created by genetically mating humans with wild boars.

Boars can be found everywhere in the wilderness, though they do prefer forests.

Lore

“	This wild creature displays a nasty temperament. Though boar's meat is quite delectable, fear of being gored by a tusk leads many to seek less violent sustenance. – from Beyond the Serpent Pillars (Ultima VII Part Two)

Trivia

• Even though live boars are only seen on Serpent Isle, they must have in Britannia as well, for the Blue Boar Tavern to have its name. Pigs (or boar) appear in the introduction to Ultima Underworld II. The Fallen Virgin even has wild boar on the menu in Ultima V.
• Killing a boar and then gutting it nets the Avatar 2 units of ham.
