Per their carnal inspiration, Burrowers are besides adept astatine swimming. 

Bristleback

The boar-like Bristleback travels successful herds and uses its tusks to unearth buried resources. Think of this arsenic their signifier of grazing, arsenic Bristlebacks marque for a peaceful show erstwhile admired from afar. However, ticking disconnected the Bristleback causes it to onslaught by combining its recovered scrap with elemental worldly for a almighty ranged assault. You don’t privation to beryllium connected the incorrect extremity of those tusks, either.
