Combat[ | ]
The Giant Warthog is a medium small animal that can appear alone but can be found in a small group. Don't let their size fool you! Warthogs tend to forage around a small area and if you enter their territory they get very defensive. Care should be taken if you decide to engage in combat with one of these animals as you may be swarmed by a pack of them from all sides. The Warthog uses their body size and medium speed to rush you for blunt force trauma to inflict 
Injury. Being a medium small animal, it easier to 
intimidate a single animal but a pack is much harder. It is recommended to do so holding weapons or with a group of hominids.
If you do decide to attack, use the best weapons you can acquire. It is recommended to use 
Sharpened Sticks first, 
Sticks next, and as a last resort rocks or hard tools. The more damage you can do from a distance, the better. Being a medium small animal, it may take several strikes to kill this animal.
Carcass[ | ]
The 
Giant Warthog Carcass provides Mammal Meat and Hard Bone when it is 
butchered. The carcass can be butchered two times. To butcher a carcass more than once, all the items dropped from the previous butchering must be picked up.
Interactions with Other Animals[ | ]
When different animals get in close proximity to each other, they can attack and kill each other. Animals can fight each other on their own or you can cause them to move nearer to each other to initiate combat. Some of these methods are intimidation to scare them towards another animal, have them chase you and you run past another animal, or perform a dodge and the animal runs towards another animal.
When animals fight each other, a cut-scene will play showing one animal attacking and killing the other. There are a large number of Evolution Feats that deal specifically with trying to cause animals to fight and kill each other.
The Giant Warthog while being a medium small animal is a formidable foe. In packs, warthogs can be quite dangerous. The warthog doesn't seek out combat due to its size but it can hold its own against some animals it interacts with. If it can't defeat an enemy, it will tend to run away.
Can Kill[ | ]
The Giant Warthog doesn't go after other animals. It may fend off an attack from another animal and kill that animal but doesn't seek out combat.
