Pinecone Wild Boars are common wild beasts in the vast area from the Agate Stone Plains to the Golden Prairie. Unlike the more common Mud Armor Wild Boar and Giant Fang Wild Boar, they are smaller in size and are not very aggressive. They mainly feed on tender grass, mushrooms, pinecones, and other plant fungi, and occasionally use their sharp tusks to pry open stones to prey on high-protein worms hiding underneath.
Although low on the food chain, they are not easily preyed upon, all thanks to the layers of peculiar, pinecone-like armor covering their bodies.
This protruding shell is extremely hard and its edges are quite sharp; it is essentially a natural thorny armor.
The Pinecone Wild Boar's specialized dense fiber armor is lightweight, waterproof, and easy to process. Hunters from the Southern Province, and even those from the Western Province, very much like using the Pinecone Wild Boar's scales to make straw raincoats or simple armored clothing.
