The Boar Head is the severed head of a male pig. It comes from butchering a Boar, and each carcass gives one head.
The head is an animal part from the farming and butchering side of the game. Its main use is the Slice Animal Head recipe, which cuts the head down to a Pig Skull. The skull then feeds the bone crafts. The head comes in a pink and a black look that work the same way.
The head is fresh meat and spoils like any other. It stays fresh for five days and is fully rotten not long after that. The Rancher is the best occupation for animal parts. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Uses
Slice Animal Head is the recipe that takes it. Any animal head fits this recipe, and the head of a boar gives a Pig Skull. The cut needs a knife or meat cleaver, which is kept. No station or skill level is needed.
The skull is the reason to keep the head. Smash Pig Skull breaks a Pig Skull with a hammer at Strength 2. It gives two Bone Pieces, two Animal Teeth and two Pig Tusk. Bone Pieces go on into carving and bone armour, so one boar head starts a small chain of crafts.
How to Get Boar Head
Butchering a dead Boar gives one head. The Boar (Landrace) and the Boar (Large Black) both give it. The pink and the black head share this page. Heads are never found in loot, so a slaughtered boar is the only way to get one.

Notes
- The head rots within about a week, so it is best sliced soon after butchering.
- Smashing the skull needs a hammer, a sledgehammer, a club hammer or a hammerstone.
- A boar head leads to Pig Tusk by way of the Pig Skull.
