boar

The boar and its various parts are frequently met with in heraldry. The boar is the symbol of intrepidness. A champion among wild beasts, he encounters enemies with nobility and courage, and has thus come to signify the traits of bravery and perseverance. The boar is a fierce combatant when at bay and never ceases to resist, even when cornered. This device was given only to those considered fierce warriors. A wild boar is referred to as a sanglier, though there isn’t actually any difference from a domestic boar in the way that it is drawn. A Boar may be drawn whole in various different positions or couped. The head of a boar is sometimes drawn erect, with the snout pointing directly up.
