New Oe/BX/1E Monster: Wooly Dragonboar

As promised in Sunday's WTF, Armory? post, here's today's Monster of the Week. BTW, at the bottom of this post is a "sketch-refine-final" drawing comparison of today's MOW illustration, like I did on the giant two-headed snake post.


DESCRIPTION

Wooly dragonboars are large, muscular, fur-covered, swine-like creatures with a mouth and snout similar in appearance to a dragon. Normally found in forested areas of sub-arctic climes, wooly dragonboars are sometimes employed as steeds by those with the patience required to train them.

A dragonboar can attack by goring at a victim with its massive tusks and sharp teeth. However, dragonboars are similar to dragons in that they are able to breathe a cloud of acidic gas that does an amount of damage (on a failed saving throw vs. breath weapon) equal to the dragonboar’s remaining hit points. Dragonboars in the wild will possess this breath weapon 100% of the time, but there is a 50% chance that any dragonboar being used as a steed will have had these glands removed, disabling the dragonboar’s use of the breath weapon.
