ad Boars: I like the great boar, but it is too late in research and summons only 10% / candle iron boars. That is not too impressive. But the greatest weakness is two misc slots only. I wish it had a head slot at least, but that idea got stamped in another thread ...
Just a detail, but I think the Great Boar can make a great thug.
Equip him a Ring of Regeneration and bring along a Stargazer to cast Body Ethereal and Luck, and you will have a regenerating size 5 trampler that will only hit by 1/8 of hits from mundane weapons. That's not even counting a bless. If you add in a Nature bless you get about 20% regen + berserk (for example).

I think that counts as a pretty decent thug.
