The boar of the known world is similar to a real life wild boar. Boars of truly monstrous size may exist in some locations.

Breeds and Range[]

Across Skyrim there exists a special breed of boar known as bristleback boars, named for the longer than average hair that runs down their backs.

Boars can be found in forested areas in Tamriel, such as:

  • The Great Forest
  • ???

Culture[]

Boar hunting is a common activity among the nobility of Tamriel. It is not considered to be a sport for the feint of heart, who generally hawk instead. A hunting party usually includes men to flush the boar from its lair, dogs to gather the prey, and men on horses equipped with spears to kill the animal. Hunted boar may be served at a feast, roasted, often with its head displayed and an apple in its mouth.

Boar baiting is a pastime in Tamriel.

The boar appears on the sigils of Houses X and X.
