A boar of the Old World
A boar of the Old World is an exceptionally ill-tempered and vicious beast, two traits that the Orcs admire greatly, which is probably why so many have been taken as mounts for the Greenskin hordes. The impact that a charging boar can produce is considerable. Left to their own devices, boars generally root the ground for grubs and menace any creatures foolish enough to interrupt their feeding. Many boars have become entirely carnivorous as a result of the Orcs breeding the trait into their mounts, and then releasing them to mate with other wild boars.[1a]
The boar was held in high respect for its strength and toughness among the pre-Imperial tribes of Men in the central and northern Old World.[2b]
The boar has been an ancient symbol of Sigmar since the Unberogen prince faced the legendary boar Blacktusk at the River Skien.[2a][3a]
