Boar

Boars were wild relatives of the domestic Pig,  and were an extremely common Beast throughout many areas of the world. Possessing thick fur, often brown or gray in colour, they were well-acclimatized to both tundra and forest. All varieties of boars were armed with sharp tusks that jutted out from beneath their snout and which were capable of causing serious injury. Boars also had a highly developed sense of smell.

Though not predatory by nature, boars were ill-tempered and territorial, a combination made worse by boars' powerful musculature and sharp tusks. They would charge down and gore anything they perceived as a threat, which made boar hunting a popular sport amongst youth and nobility.
