Dire wereboars in [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] form look much like normal [[SRD:Hill Giant|hill giants]], though slightly stockier, and with coarser, stiffer hair and stiff. The dire wereboar described here is based on a hill [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] and natural lycanthrope with normal ability scores for a hill [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]].

===Combat===

Dire wereboars anger quickly. They usually begin a battle in [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] form, then switch to hybrid form to take advantage of their immense strength in that shape. They like to use their [[SRD:Improved Bull Rush|Improved Bull Rush]] and [[SRD:Improved Sunder|Improved Sunder]] [[SRD:Feats|feats]] to shove opponents around and smash their weapons and shields.

'''[[SRD:Alternate Form|Alternate Form]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A dire wereboar can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a [[SRD:Dire Boar|dire boar]].

'''Boar Empathy ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Communicate with [[SRD:Boar|boars]] and [[SRD:Dire Boar|dire boars]], and +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based checks against [[SRD:Boar|boars]] and [[SRD:Dire Boar|dire boars]].

'''Curse of Lycanthropy ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Any [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] or [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]] hit by a dire wereboar’s bite attack in [[SRD:Animal Type|animal]] or hybrid form must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or contract lycanthropy.

'''Ferocity ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A dire wereboar is such a tenacious combatant that it continues to fight without penalty even while [[SRD:Disabled|disabled]] or [[SRD:Dying|dying]].
