Mutton Boars (マトンボタン, Motanbotan) are large mammalian porcine/ovine beasts with the characteristics of both a sheep and a boar.
Anatomy[]
Mutton Boars are large, even-toed ungulates with the head and legs of a boar, and body of a sheep, including a sheep's light-colored wooly coat. They can also have either light or dark colored skin. An odd trait of the species is that they possess insectoid wings on their backs which even allow them to fly, giving them a chimeric-like appearance. Also of note is that the species appears to have gender dimorphism, with the males having a whiter coat and longer tusks, and the females having a pinkish coat and shorter tusks.
The young of the species have paler skin colors and whiter bluish coats than the parents, and the hair on their heads resembles a mohawk, somewhat.
Behavior[]

Komatsu with a Mutton Boar family.
Mutton Boars are intelligent and resourceful creatures that appear to show no hostility to those who mean them no harm. However, Mutton Boars have a strong sense of familiar attachment and care deeply for their young, and when the family unit is at risk of starvation, the Mutton Boars will do whatever it takes to find food for their young. They can attack stronger prey or kidnap weak lifeforms with food in order to survive. Nonetheless, they are a genuinely non-aggressive and intelligent species that can show kindness in return to those who offer it.
Abilities[]
Mutton Boars are surprisingly agile, despite their size, and are even capable of flight with the use of the insectoid wings on their back (although the Mutton Boars seen were very skinny and malnourished and their lighter weight may have attributed to their faster movement). They are also very resourceful and intelligent, as mates show a great deal of teamwork and cooperation when scavenging for food, and can even create diversions and use their environment against their enemy. They can also store food within their large wooly coats.
History[]
Autumn Break Arc[]
While Toriko, Coco, Sunny, and Komatsu were searching for the Supear, 2 mutton boars attacked them with great agility, that of which no Mutton Boars should possess. Toriko tried his Flying Knife at one, but it seemed to pass right through his fur. The boars kidnapped Komatsu, and Toriko chased after them using Terry's speed, and in the end was able to knock one of them down. Before finishing them off, Komatsu explained to Toriko that they are starving and can't feed their kids. Later, after Toriko found the Supears, he explained that they couldn't find the fruit because it was hidden by clouds, was itself transparent, and barely let out any smell. In the end, the Boars ate the fruit together with them all, and the kid boars started playing with Yun.
