== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ryoga of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' has faced wild boars on at least two occasions. His preferred tactic is stopping the rampaging pig in his tracks with the tip of his umbrella, then flip him up and away. Bystanders are always impressed.
Line 53:
* In George R.R. Martin's ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', {{spoiler|King Robert}} gets killed by a giant boar. {{spoiler|Though it's also possible he was poisoned, or at least over-inebriated so he was an incompetent hunter}}
* In Meredith Ann Pierce's book ''Treasure at the Heart of the Tanglewood'', {{spoiler|the wizard}} turns into a giant gold boar and tries to kill Hannah.
* The [[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]], [[Discworld]]'s [[You Mean "Xmas"|equivalent]] of [[Santa Claus]], rides in a sleigh pulled by four enormous, fierce-looking boars. In in-series [[Disneyfication]], we're told that most modern portrayals have four cute, pink piggies instead.
* In [[Belgariad|Pawn of Prophecy]] by David Eddings, Garion kills a boar and almost gets himself killed in the process.
* Though tuskless, domesticated, and female, Raz Buchanon's pet pig Marjorie (from the Maggody mysteries) once bit the leg off a mule, and {{spoiler|chased a man out an upstairs window, causing his death}}. This troper thinks she qualifies for Full Sow Action!
