wereboar
Boar-shifting cursed human
A wereboar is a mythical creature that shifts between human and boar form, parallel to the werewolf but with porcine characteristics—tusks, bristled hide, and savage temperament.
The concept appears in fantasy role-playing games and folklore: The village feared the wereboar that ravaged their fields under the full moon.
