Boar (Arkantos) will collapse instead of dying when his hit points reaches 1 and can be revived by approaching with a friendly unit as long as no enemy units are on top

“	Arkantos in his boar form. Good against myth units and regenerates.	”
—In-game description

Boar (Arkantos) is a variant of Arkantos seen exclusively in the scenario Old Friends in the Fall of the Trident campaign in Age of Mythology. Ajax and Arkantos spot the Shipwreck of a Trireme belonging to Odysseus, as they sail towards the Norselands. They immediately land on the island, and meet some odd-looking Pigs, who turn out to be Odysseus' sailors.

“	Mmm... boar. Circe will be pleased.	”
—Villager from Circe's city

Then, Arkantos gets turned into the shape of a Wild Boar alongside Ajax by Circe the sorceress and can only be restored to his former self by reaching a Temple to Zeus.

Special ability

• Divine Immunity (Passive): Cannot be targeted by enemy god powers.

The porcine form of Arkantos does not have the other abilities of the humanoid or divine Arkantos, and cannot collect Relics.

History

“	Arkantos has been turned into a boar. Fortunately he isn't alone in his fate -- Ajax has been turned into a boar as well, and the two heroes are trying to turn themselves and others back into humans.	”
