Warthogs are glorified pigs preferring hot biomes and are neither remarkable or interesting in any particular way. Dwarfs will interrupt work to run from them if they spot one. Warthogs will also tend to run from dwarfs so chaos tends to ensue if one or more somehow find their way inside a fortress. One on one, they are generally no match for a dabbling wrestler. They usually live in small herds of 3 to 7, though a hunter will have no trouble with a herd, armed or otherwise.
They can be trained and used as pets or as a food and leather source. Warthogs meat, bones, and leather have a value of 10☼, slightly more valuable than say dogs, mountain goat, or donkey value of 5☼, but produce significantly less than other more common creatures.
Other animals, such as elephants which are often find along with warthogs, are more valuable. Warthogs two redeeming qualities are they breed and mature at a rate comparable with a dog or cat and when butchered produce 5 fat which when converted to tallow can be used in prepared meals or soap.
