Proudsnout

Proudsnout, a servant of Erastil, sometimes also known as Father of the Vol-Hum, is a Giant Boar that appears with different fur patterns and marks each time he is seen. He also has the ability to turn into a human, often appearing as a rotund gentleman, with a bald head and missing little fingers on both hands. He is often seen with or near a plentiful supply of alcohol and food when in this form.

When a village is facing a famine, the faithful who petition Erastil for help are sometimes blessed by Proudsnout, who comes close to the village and allows them to hunt him (not that he goes down easy). However, if the villagers succeed, the corpse of a giant boar is left as food for those suffering. The danger is that sometimes Venkelvore appears and pretends to be Proudsnout, preying on the hopes of those already suffering and forcing them to expend time and energy hunting him, only to be met with an impossible kill in the best of situations, if not certain death, should Venkelvore choose to fight back. For this reason, Proudsnout hates Venkelvore and does everything he can to oppose him, his plans, and his followers whenever possible, but the god of famine would definitely have the upper hand if it were to come to a fight.
