Torc

The Torc is an odd-toed suid. The males are known as boars, females are sows and babies are piglets.

Torc are mostly herbivores, but are also scavengers, so will eat almost anything they come across. They are usually considered nocturnal, but in cold periods, are more commonly seen during daylight hours.

They live in herds of up to 20 animals, consisiting of females and their offspring, and usually also including a single older male. Females leave the herd before giving birth and return with the piglets about a week after parturition. All memebers of the herd protect the piglets, and a piglet can nurse from all females. Boars fight by running head on into each other, followed by head pushing and attempts to slash the opponent with their lower tusks.

Environmental adaptation
The Torc is a species which goes through complete triannual physiological change, depending on the season.

Due to the Torc being a slow-moving animal, in summer, the Torc completely sheds in fur to cool themselves down, leaving their pink skin bare. They start growing their hair back at the end of summer, ready for the winter months. In winter, their pelt grows much longer than in the transitionary periods, leaving them with suitable insulation for snowy weather.
