Gemhide Boars

Natives of a particular region of the North, near the borders of the Inner Sea, gemhide boars are somewhat misnamed, but aptly so. They are rarely seen during daylight hours, as they are nocturnal creatures, but it is that sight that gave them their name, for from a distance their hides seem to be studded with beautiful glowing sapphires and emeralds. As one draws closer to them, it can be seen that these spots are not literal gems, but patterns of light that have attached themselves to the boars' bodies, creating swirls of colours that dance and shift according to the moods of the creatures to which they are a part.

Gemhide boars alternate their time between the borderlands and Creation, seeming to have no clear definition of which is which. Their breeding grounds, marvelous grottos of shifting patterns of light, are always within the borderlands, and they rarely travel farther; in fact, when one of them develops another mutation, the other gemhides fail to recognize it as kin and drive it away, deeper into the Wyld. They are silent beasts, using their strange skin to communicate, but otherwise behave much like ordinary boars. Their skins transmit light well, and thus they are hunted as luxury pelts by local hunters, who skin them into odd pelts that can be made into thick curtains - these curtains catch the light much like stained glass windows, when properly prepared.
