Alright, I've googled a bit and searched the interwebz for an answer but I've come up with zilch.
Is there any information at all out there about Gnawhydes wild boar? A name? A back-story? Or was it just put in the package with the original figure to add to his "hunter" image? Any information anybody could dig up would be awesome. Also, bonus question - did the boar ever appear in the Marvel comics? If so, which ones? |

Wasn't in the comics. I don't even think he was either.
It's like Voltar's vulture, just there for the figure.

"Unfortunately" some of this is something we are waiting for Joe Con to reveal at the Declassified booth. But after Joe Con the person who owns the evidence will be uploading it all to YoJoe either straight to the archives or as a sit rep. I don't own it but I've seen it. It's funny you should ask, really.

I really have no idea man. I am going to take a guess at it anyway, lol! My guess is that Hasbro just wanted to put a cool accessory into the package to help sell the toy. They picked a wild boar because Gnaw is a hunter. I don't think he is supposed to be a pet, I think he is supposed to be a wild animal that is being hunted. I always thought he was a pet as a kid though, lol. A modern era super articulated version of him would be wicked bad ass! I'd buy that in a heart beat!

Gnawgahyde's family was killed by lions, he wasnt eaten because the lions got full on his family. He ended up being picked up by a group of Warthogs and raised as one of their own. That hog that comes in the package is one of his warthog brothers.

Steve, Gnawgahyde's illegitimate son. Gnaw doesn't like to talk about it.
