Wereboars gain the increased strength and resilence and while transformed, the goring tusks of a boar. They can pass on the curse of lycanthropy through thir tusks. [1] Fighting them
History
Around 800 YK , the power of the lycanthropic curse began to grow, corrupting good and neutral lycanthropes and packs of evil lycanthropes began to spread across western Khorvaire . In response to this, the Church of the Silver Flame initiated the Lycanthropic Purge in 832 YK , particularly in what is currently Aundair and the Eldeen Reaches . [2] [3] The campaign was long and brutal, as the average wereboar was more powerful than the average Silver Flame templar, but eventually the tide turned in the favor of the Silver Flame. [2] This purge almost wiped out wereboars on Khorvaire , but some fled to Lamannia , while others hid in dark corners of the Eldeen Reaches and Droaam . [4] [5]
During the Last War , wereboars fought for Droaam as part of the Beast Brigade. [6]
Lands
Since the events of the Lycanthropic Purge, wereboars are unknown in most of Khorvaire outside of the Eldeen Reaches and Droaam. [2] [4] [5] Wereboars can be found in Lamannia, and sometimes appear in Lamannian manifest zones , such as the Ahdryatmin valley in Adar on the continent of Sarlona . [7] [8]
Wereboars have also been spotted in Xen'drik [9]
