11Sows are aggressive wild pigs found on the Windrose Coastal Jungle starting island. They appear at level 3, which is higher than the player’s starting level, and they can deal high damage to underprepared low-level characters. The community’s single most-repeated new-player warning is to avoid Sows until you have proper weapons and armor.22Threat Level44AttributeDetailsLevel3TypeAggressive wildlifeDangerCan deal heavy damage to low-level charactersDropRough Hide, meat66Sows charge when they spot a target, and their charge hitbox is generous. Community warnings consistently recommend avoiding Sows until you have proper weapons and armor.77When to Engage99Armor at 180+ total defense across all five slotsA mid-tier melee weapon (Saber, Rapier, Halberd, Pistol for finishing)Two food buffs active (Strength or Agility + a health/stamina buff)Full stamina pool, lock-on with T activeBackup bandages or Minor Healing Potions in hotbar1111Combat Approach1313Lock on with TDodge laterally when the charge windup begins (not backward)Attack the exposed flank after the charge overshootsMaintain distance to avoid follow-up lungesRetreat if stamina hits the red Winded state1515Rewards1717Sows drop Rough Hide, a crafting material used in mid-tier armor and leather goods. Meat drops feed early-game cooking recipes. The drops are worth the fight, but only once you are geared enough to engage safely. Running past Sows to gather resources is valid early-game strategy.1919Boar Family Comparison2121The Sow is the early-island member of a wider boar family. The data-mined stats below show how it stacks up against the tougher variants you meet later.2323CreatureHealthArmorMelee HitWhereSow1,1600180 SlashStarting islandBoarvarieslowSlashCoastal JungleCharging Boar1,44015260 SlashCoastal Jungle late, FoothillsSavage BoarhigherlowcomboCoastal Jungle and beyond2525Because the Sow has zero Armor, damage type matters less than against the armored Charging Boar; the real danger is the charge and the level gap, not its defences. A clean lateral dodge followed by flank hits is the safest pattern at any gear level.2626Related2828Savage Boar - more dangerous boar variant with combo attacksEnemies - full enemy rosterGetting Started - early-game survival guide3030Full Drop Table3232Launch-week guides catalog the Sow drop pool as:3434Rough Hide 1 per kill.

Refills the Oil Lamp at 3 units per lamp.Meat variable per kill; feeds Cooking Fire recipes.3636Boars in the same biome drop up to 2 Animal Fat per kill and up to 2 Rough Hide, so if you are specifically farming lamp fuel, hunting boars is more efficient than sows.3838Current Stats and Drops4040The tables below summarize combat stats, traits, and drops for the current launch build.
