Wereboars can shift form between "human," boar, & mixed forms. Each form has advantages: "human" form blends with society, boar form has all the advantages the boar has (tusks, bristles, strength, berzerking, speed), & the mixed form combines the two.

Wereboars lose control and transform during battle or while overcome with lust. They are brutal fighters and rapists.

During other periods, they can control the shift.

Wereboars have heigtened battle senses & weak wills. They are very expansive eaters. They can see in the dark, and they tend to burrow if they are out in the wild.

If a wound is not made by brass, it will heal quickly. They are extremely resistant to disease & poisons.

Wereboars are raiders and warriors. They live in small tribes, usually as hunter-gatherers. If they rape someone of another village or people, they usually kidnap them and bring them back as prisoners to the tribe. Once the victim has transformed for the first time, the indoctinration will usually be complete. There are many fights within the tribe, but rarely fatal, and the main form of mating is through raping each other (male on female or female on male). There is a stigma to consensual sex and romance in the tribes, but any form of rape, even same-sex, is accepted.

Outside of wereboar society, they tend to be mercenaries and soldiers, pirates and bandits, where their brutality is more acceptable. Those that have found ways to live in less brutal society usually use magic to offset their loss of control if they have not fallen in love.

It is believed the firs twereboar was made through a curse on a man or woman who raped a warlock's daughter.

There is an Ages old distrut between Riverkin and wereboars.
