Charge. If the boar moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a Tusk attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Thorn Hide. A creature that touches the boar or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 2 (1d4) piercing damage.
Relentless (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If the boar takes 10 damage or less that would reduce it to 0 hit points, it is reduced to 1 hit point instead.
Actions
Tusk. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.
Thornbacks root through bramble thickets until the thorns grow into their hide. Farmers plant hawthorn hedges to keep them out, which is how the boars got the thorns in the first place.
