A new pig/boar?

« on: 14 January 2006, 21:13:00 »

Ive just recently joined the dream, and i was thinking for my first entry, i could do a new pig or boar. here are my ideas on it so far.

Name: not quite sure yet, still thinking on that one.

Overview: A wild pig with little or no fur, lives in flat grassland areas, is a carnivore, and has a very long then snout used for burrowing.

Territory: the northern provinces of Santharia, such as Nermeran, Vardynn, and the northern part of Enthronia.

Appearence: Anywhere from 1 ped, to 1 and a 1/2 peds, from tail to tip of the snout. Has either very short fur or no fur at all, and has a rough hide. Also has very powerful hind legs for running, and a long narrow snout for burrowing.

Diet: Is a carnivore who uses its long narrow snout, and sharp teeth to feast on small rodents such as field mice and Kuatu squirrels.

Well that is just a basic summary of what i got for it so far. I was just wondering if there are any objections to this, or to certain parts of this maybey. or if you have any advise on whether this would be a good starting entry, or anything else for that matter, i would be glad to hear that to.If not then i am going to go ahead and get to work on this right away. :thumbup

Thanks in advance.

hi, Here I have some propouses for name, like Grassland boar, "Province" Boar (change the province for a place) or maybe just Big Boar, I never saw one, but I think two peds are very big, so the name would suit it.
Its good, short but very good, I don't see many problems here, actualy no problems, but maybe just make it a bit large or more descriptive would be good.

ishmaelion; thanks, im not quite sure about the places either, still got to work on that one.

soorrilmiesfer; Thanks for the advise, i really like your ideas. I think im going to either call it a grassland boar, or an Enthronian boar. very good suggestions. I plan on making the entry a lot bigger and more detalied, thats just what i had thought of for now. Still got a lot to do on it.

Well thanks both of you, and thanks again soorilmiesfer for the name ideas.

Don't forget to compare them with the wild pigs which go out on the grasslands sometimes as well!

Better make it a classic porcine OMMNIVORE - another large carnivore to compete with our many big cats would not be desirable!

Apart from that I really like the concept. We must have wild boar in a medieval universe (even if Obelix isn't around to appreciate it...)
