Daeodons, also known as dire boars, are much larger and more aggressive relatives of the common wild boar.

Appearance

They are generally at least ten feet in length and seven feet tall at the shoulder, weighing upwards of 2,000 pounds.

Ecology

While wild boars are omnivores, dire boars prefer the taste of fresh meat, and their keen senses and large, sharp tusks make them superior predators. Primarily scavengers, daeodons occasionally attack smaller, lone individuals if no easier source of food is present.

On Golarion

Orcs sometimes use dire boars as mounts, and dire boar-mounted orc cavalry can be a truly terrifying sight.

On distant worlds

Daeodons were among the specimens collected from the planet Castrovel by the Androffan spaceship Divinity before it crashed into Golarion during the Rain of Stars. The creatures were kept in a stasis lab in Habitat Pod 1 as part of a larger collection of Castrovelian life forms.
