	Wild boars have had populations in most of [[Europe]], [[Asia]] and [[Africa\|North Africa]] for a very long time. During the [[Isu Era]], a variation of boars known as [[Iron\|iron]] boars roamed [[Svartálfaheimr]]. These boars often attacked and were killed by the [[Æsir\|Aesir]] [[Odin]] during his travels.

	In Ancient [[Greece]] wild boars roamed the wilds freely, and they were considered predators like [[Wolf\|wolves]] and [[bear]]s.
