What about a giant stealthy were-pig that masquerades as a hoburg?

The spell would summon one form, and that form would have #shapechange and #secondshape commands to the other form. Easily doable. However, because there are no ready sprites, I made this simple version with just Fay Boar sprites. Copy the text below, save it as "something.dm" into \Dominions 3\mods\, enable and use. Very simple.
EDIT: fixed morale; replaced #mrl with #mor.
EDIT 2: added #itemslots 12288 to remove hand, body, foot and head slots.

#descr "This huge boar was once an ordinary pig, but now it's eyes glimmer with malice, madness and unsatiable hunger. These poor beasts will eat everything they find, and they have been given a glimmer of intelligence which allows it to evade even the most cunning traps laid for it. These cursed swines are sometimes sent upon enemy armies to starve them."
