...
A primal struggle began in the wilderness.
A large white wolf, a size bigger than the rest, led several agile grey wolves as they surrounded a large wild boar with piglets.
By now, the pack had encircled the boar and its litter, yet they dared not recklessly approach, for this boar was not to be trifled with.
Weighing two to three hundred pounds, with dark, stout bristles like steel needles, its armor of cracked clay and resin, dried onto its body, was impervious to slashes and burns.
If it were not for its piglets, the boar would likely have charged already. A single blow could easily spell the end for an average wolf.
The wolves harassed it incessantly, forcing the boar to spin around, uttering shrill screams.
The boar was notoriously temperamental, even more so when with its young. Taunted like this, it finally lost patience and charged, striding forth like a small tank straight at the white wolf.
