Default boar of carnutes slots

Why does the boar only have two misc slots? I think head and possibly two feet would fit very well, or even body? But at least the head slot would be really thematic, I think.

After all, a pig's head doesn't differ more from a human's than those of a cyclope, let's say. And it's supposed to be intelligent, with leadership and all.

Neither would it make the summon overpowered, I think.

All animals only have 2 misc slots. The items we're talking about are made for use by humans/humanoids, so boots, body armor or helmets would not fit animals.

Though a helmet fits a wyrm, it doesn't fit a boar. It's just a game convention.

The hat is a lie. There is no hat.


It's not the shape of the head, but the fact that animals' necks are horizontal instead of vertical, and how that affects the movements of their heads and prevents them from wielding helmets (which guard the human neck).

Perhaps you could forge a custom animal hat. After all, there are people who make sweaters and booties for their dogs.
