Monster Boar?

It's an interesting spell, but for 10gems it's too expensive. The cost should be around 7 gems.

Someone reported that it can be very hard to catch with patrols, unless you have loads of stuff, fliers and whatnot. But that might have just been bad luck.

Like all animal spells, it does seem overpriced. But it's very fun.

The Monster Boar is Stealthy (+10). So, it's a bit harder to catch than a vanilla scout. It's only got MR5. I wonder if you can:

Just Mind Hunt it, without actually patrolling and finding it.

Patrol, Charm it, and send it to an enemy province. Will it cause unrest? Give it a Black Heart, for a speedy trampling size-5 assassin.

I've had it cast on me multiple times in an SP game recently. The thing is incredibly easy to spot (10 pd will do it), and also incredibly easy to kill (it is just a pig after all). Generally my Harpies in the PD would kill it the first turn of the battle.

Definitely not worth the 10 gems it costs.

you can check how much damage it does to your enemy by checking there income on the score graphs.

I've been getting it cast on me regularly in my current game. It is barely a bother. I'll never use it myself. It might be tougher if the AI repeatedly cast it on the same province, but I seriously doubt I'll ever waste the gems on it.
