Book of Shadows Entry[]
'While it drew breath, the massive beast earned widespread notoriety even before it became the subject of an impossible hunt. Who but Heracles himself could have taken such a thing alive?
But, being mortal, it did not remain alive for long. What lasted much longer was its rage, for captivity brought out a truly monstrous quality in an already savage beast'
Trivia[]
- The Erymanthian Boar was killed by Heracles as part of his Fourth Labour.
- It is the fourth monster that Heracles has faced that appeared physically in person, the other three being Cerberus, the Bone Hydra and the Bronzebeak
