In a shocking twist, the Bristle Boar has emerged as one of Pathfinder 2E’s most formidable monsters, thanks to a notable error in its classification. Originally meant to be a level 3 foe, this creature accidentally skyrocketed to a daunting level 83, making it the highest-rated monster in the entire system.

This mislabel has sparked intense discussions among players, many of whom wonder just how terrifying a level 83 creature can truly be. The game’s mechanics, reminiscent of D&D, progress to a maximum level of 20, while the highest-level monster on record hits level 27.

To quantify what a Bristle Boar at level 83 would entail, one keen player recalibrated its stats, deriving calculations that reveal its horrifying capabilities. Among these is an alarming armor class of 138 and over 7,900 hit points, meaning its attacks could feasibly halve the health of established adversaries like the Tarrasque.

As players ponder the implications of facing such a monstrous foe, some intriguing lore surfaces: if the Bristle Boar were to spawn, it could potentially elevate every Pathfinder player character to level 20 in one fell swoop due to its exceedingly high experience payout.

This creature’s rise to notoriety emphasizes the uncharted dynamics of tabletop gameplay and highlights the unique quirks inherent in Pathfinder 2E.
