Just on the wereboar note, I much prefer the flavor of B/X-BECM's "Devil Swine" to just "I'm a rude grumpy guy who can change into a guy with a boar head." and have basically rewritten wereboars to be devil swines in my game world setting.
The only other time I remember using a wereboar was when I ran H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth - I changed the boar the gnolls are tormenting into a wereboar instead. The PCs rescued and befriend him.
From memory, his name was Heim Hogson.Very nice! Making friends!
