Snagboar

Behavior: Ornery and territorial, these robust beasts roam the desert in packs numbering anywhere from 3 to 12 members constantly in search of the next patch of vegetation to sustain themselves throughout their lifespan. Incredibly bold and very hardy as a species, snagboars can be seen tussling with a wide variety of other desert inhabitants ranging from manticores to even other packs of the same species to defend their young, mates, and food sources. It is very rare for these creatures to settle into an area permanently, only occupying territories until they have consumed all vegetation within sight before moving on. However it is not uncommon to see a family of these nasty hogs amongst the dunes in the heart of the desert landscape, they are mostly found around the outskirts of the biome where food is more plentiful. Living up to their namesake, these boars use the multitude of tusks that grow from their face and head to puncture and gore threats and competition alike, resorting to trampling fallen foes quite spitefully under hoof even for a while after they have stopped moving.

Details: The hides of snagboars prove to be rather durable. Possessing a moderate resistance to sharp and blunt force trauma, the leather made from a snagboar provides a surprising amount of protection over armor crafted from the hide of many other animals. Their tusks also serve as quality materials for bladed weapons due to their immensely dense bone structure.(edited)
