A request

[murfin65]

In the course of a current campaign, we have need of the stats for a normal (albeit large) pig. I know that the MM has details for "Boar". Does anybody have thoughts on the numbers ?

As a side issue, the Pig in question is a PC Gnome Ranger's pet and is called "Prince Valiant". Don't ask why.

There was a topic on this board a long time ago, let me find it.

If I can't, I'll just make one. Animals are incredibly easy to make.

Here you go. Throughout the topic, there are two different statistics for a pig, and statistics for piglets, hogs, and flying pigs. Enjoy.

Hurrah for the pig stats !

Many thanks, I've now got stats for small, large, cute and flying piggies. My group will be chuffed that Prince Valiant (and his porcine relations) have INT and CON scores.

What a useful list !

OK - has anybody discussed the stats for a Wombat and a Tapir ?

Thanks in advance.

PS
The DMs guide says that "With a bit of imagination any race can be a PC. Hmmmmmmmm Crocodile Monk ? Geletinous Cube Bard ?
Gas Spore Paladin ? eh

Well, the secret to making animals is just modifying the statistics for an existing animal mentioned in the Monster Manual. I'll pop up the statistics for a Tapier and a Wombat.

Tapirs are tropical semi-aquatic nocturnal ungulates resembling slightly larger pigs. Commonly found in rainforests, jungles, and terra incognita, they are valued by Humans as pets.

I threw that togther quickly. The challenge rating might be off a little. There are probably some other problems, but it will do in a pinch.

Wombats are herbvorous marsupials commonly found in savannas. They inhabbit large tunnels they burrow, and chiefly live off of grass, roots, and bark. They have been known to gnaw down large trees.
