Bal'alak

Bal'alak, or Balalak the Ferocious, was a massive dire boar that terrorized the inhabitants of Samargol in the late 14 century DR.

Description
Bal'alak was truly a massive fierce creature of foul temper that almost dared hunters to test their mettle. The boar's arched back was as tall if not taller than an adult human. Bal'alak's head and back were protected by natural spiny armor. Its face was adorned with great gleaming tusks and demon eyes that exuded malice.

History
By the, Bal'alak became a major danger to the simple folk of Samarach. The local hunters failed numerous times to bring the beast down, and even a hefty bounty on Bal'alak could not stop the giant boar. A tiefling merchant, Vadin'ya of Samargol, offered an especially generous reward for Bal'alak's tusks, which, according to her, held great magical power.
