Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

Giant Boars count as Boars or Pigs for the purposes of Spells or Effects targeting Boars or Pigs, but are Monsters, not Animals.
A few Giant Boars (2% / 5% in Taur Galen) are carriers of the Wereboar Lycanthropy virus: BTS 50 + 5AL% vs being infected whenever a Giant Boar with the virus does DAM. If infected, victim will turn into a Wereboar, not a Giant Wereboar.
In the Underworld some Giant Boars have been tamed and bred by Boar Cultists to carry riders and/or a howdah and fight in battle. They have carrying capacity 4800 wt pts, and take encumbrance penalties to movement as for Horses, as stated in sections 4.5 & 4.6 of the General Systems. Some may be protected by Armour.
