boar of carnutes slots

[Endoperez]

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).

[moderation]

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

And medieval warhorses had head armor, sometimes. It's just forged differently.

but then the wyrm does have a head slot.

What about the troglodyte(?) commander?

Seriously, the boar is supposed to be intelligent, he can lead - ie. give orders to - humans! It's not just an animal.

And it's really simple to put a hat on a pig's head.

I wonder where the boar puts the rings, though.

[Dedas]

It looks silly. That is the reason a boar can't wear a hat.

[johan osterman]

The reason the Wyrm can wear the hat is that when the mechanic for multiple slots for specifik bodyparts were implmented the Wyrm was the only easily available commander with two heads. Since JK thought it was a waste for there to be no commanders that could utilise two helmets the wyrm was changed so it could also have a head slot. This then became a precedent for most snake headed monsters.
