wereboars
Swine-shifting cursed humans
Wereboars are mythical creatures that shapeshift between human and boar form, analogous to werewolves but with porcine rather than lupine transformation.
They appear primarily in fantasy fiction, role-playing games, and folklore-inspired media: The party encountered a wereboar guarding the forest shrine.
Like other were-creatures, they typically transform under specific conditions—often the full moon—and may transmit their condition through bites or wounds.
