Information

Believed to be feral wild boar, as its name implies. Wild Boar had been witnessed in Arus during the Gate Rune War and infested the trail to Tsai's house during the Dunan Unification War. These two types of boar are assumed to be both the same species. There are reports that Earth Runes, highly rare, have been found in the bodies of defeated Wild Boar.

Trivia

• The Wild Boar is the first of three boar-type enemies in Suikoden. The others being the Black Wild Boar and the Death Boar.
• It can be difficult to distinguish between the Wild Boar and the Black Wild Boar due to their similar appearance and the short length of time between the introduction of one, then the other. They are practically identical, except for the Black Wild Boar having slightly higher LUCK and a reduced item drop rate.
