Boar

Boars were a type of pig (PROSE: Mad Dogs and Englishmen [+]Loading...["Mad Dogs and Englishmen (novel)"]) often caught for food on Earth. When she first met the Fifth Doctor and Peri Brown in Egypt in 1400 BC, Erimem invited them to sample some freshly-caught roast boar. As Peri was a vegetarian, she baulked at the thought of eating the boar. The Doctor advised her to pretend to have eaten it by moving it around her plate. (AUDIO: The Eye of the Scorpion [+]Loading...["The Eye of the Scorpion (audio story)"])

Nyssa was chased by a boar, specifically a Mummerset black, in Stockbridge in 1199. (AUDIO: Castle of Fear [+]Loading...["Castle of Fear (audio story)"]) A boar who had been killed by a Krynoid-possessed wolf was found by Henri d'Arrée and Moses of Tyre when they looked through an English forest for their lost horses in the 12th century. (AUDIO: The Green Man [+]Loading...["The Green Man (audio story)"])

Boars had become extinct in England, but they were reintroduced in 1987. This occurred during a massive storm in Kent, when a farm that raised continental boars was damaged and the boars escaped. According to the Eighth Doctor, some of these boars came next-door to the Doctor's house, and he taught them to talk. They evolved into the intelligent Tusken race. Brewster was a sentient boar who managed a 21st century hotel on an asteroid; he said the Doctor's account of the repopulation was heresy, since he believed it was due to divine intervention. (PROSE: Mad Dogs and Englishmen [+]Loading...["Mad Dogs and Englishmen (novel)"])

Boars were listed in the Avalonian Bestiary of all animal life on the Earth colony Avalon. (PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice [+]Loading...["The Sorcerer's Apprentice (novel)"])
