Ohhh, only the boars? 😅 What about the 100 feet tall monstrocity that roams the west (left) side of Hellfire Peninsula map? 🤣🤣🤣 First time i saw that huge robot i (and pardon my language) $h!ted my pants. I tried to avoid it, but i noticed the bastard a little too late. XD I saw my ingame screen moving up and down (you know, like an earthquake happening in the game), but i didn't give much attention to it, since Burning Crusade was new back then. I thought it was normal for the area. Ooooohhhh, boy when i turned my camera around and saw the 100 or so feet tall machine i cr@ped my pants. 😂😂 As i said, i couldn't avoid the giant robot and died. After that i was veeeeeery careful where i was going, until i learned its path.
I did in fact learn something. I did not know about that never-implemented Hunter quest. That was honestly interesting. I wonder why they just left him there.
I now just "like" these videos before I start watching them. They never fail to please. Also, my level 70 hunter in retail still runs with the boar I tamed in Dun Morogh during Vanilla.
I was so hoping you'd have the Crag Boars on your Top 10. I actually got the WoW Cookbook specifically because I knew it had a recipe for Beer Basted Boar Ribs - and it was amazing! Better than any ribs I've had in a restaurant. 10/10 list. 10/10 recipe, will eat again.
as someone who has played a hunter since Vanilla, boars were always one of my fondest pets they used to be incredibly strong for solo leveling, able to generate a ton of threat and were fairly tanky I remember wishing that we could tame helboars so badly for years, but they were classified as demons and not beasts until Cataclysm, it was a very exciting time (I picked up a Felboar myself)
Pointless top 10's are a real highlight of my day - gg on another fun installment. That said - I was a little sad to see that none of the armored boars made the list, nor was "Agathelos the Raging" there - granted - he kind of got destroyed with the reworking of Razorfen Kraul and no longer exist in retail WOW - but are still living large in Classic and are one of my favorites.
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who truly appreciates how magical the beer basted boar rib quest is, I remember playing that back in vanilla and learning this recipe, definitely one of the few wow recipes that I've ever wanted to make in real life.
Good memories with this, my hunter has a collection of every model of boar I could find up until legion and all of them, and I mean ALL of them, are named some variation of Boar Thrills or Boar Grills, such good times doing that lol
I think the hellboars really completed the wow factor of going through the dark portal for the first time and stepping into hellfire peninsula so I would have put them higher for the impression they had. Also the Thistle boars in Shadowglen would have been my pick for starting zone boars, they seem pretty alien compared to other boars and Shadowglen is the only place you see them, which makes them interesting. That's all just my opinion though.
Good stuff as always! Btw these fellas make for great Spoonerisms: Bellhoars, Belfoars, Boldsnoutcoars, Bragcoars, Bardhideshoars... after watching this video I feel like I've been visited by Woars with Angel Bings.
it is kind of funny that boars are always the lvl 1 trope enemy, but boars in real life are freaking scary roid beasts that are often far more aggressive and dangerous than wolves or other predators.
Pretty neat stuff! I also sure do like Boars 🐗 in WoW!!! Just noticed you never done a Pointless Top 10 Wolves 🐺 ! Maybe that could be an idea for a video ! 😉
Like, it's so obvious that he's scratching for content, but a top 10 of boars is ironically such a fantastic topic. Compared to DF content, this is so enjoyable, acknowledging how ridiculous it is to make a top 10 of boars. Phenomenal video Crendor, please keep it up
Im a little sad my boy Rooter the Ravenous didnt make the list, hes a boar you can find in Gorgrond and if you do a quest to get him food, he joins your garrison as a wandering npc who hangs around. 10/10 Good Boar Boy
Great list! However you need to look into the Tauren start zone where they have the modified boars. They were modified by the quillboars. Battleboars I think they are called.
The black armored boars from RFK have been my favorite boar models since vanilla. Been a staple hunter pet since ive had a hunter high enough level to tame one
Crendors voice IS wow for me. I can go months or even a year not playing wow, and just hearing his voice makes me want re up that subscription. Great video.
You mentioning that gnome video made me realize I was around 13 years old when I first found your content. I'm 26 going on 27 now. I've known about this channel for over 13 years. Damn.
Very true! Though I would guess very few 'newer' players (I know Crendor is not a new player), even know where the entrance is, let alone what it looks like thanks to the group finder tool. I was also a little surprised that Agathelos the Raging didn't make the list, though granted he kind of got destroyed with the reworking of Razorfen Kraul and is only 'living large' in Classic now.
He isn't pointless enough. While making the video, we all talked about it with him, and he said he would consider Agamaggan but eventually decided against.
Agamanggan is a wild god. He serves a point. Hellboar are hellboars. They serve no point. Thus! They belong on this pointless top 10 list. They exist to be slaughtered and looted. Because, after all, inside pointless things are treasure. Let’s begin.
My favorite boar of all time are the Agam ar in RFK, Agathelos the Raging was terrifying when i first encountered him in vanilla, and then he comes running at you and hes HUGE and then he 1 shots the tank with a crit. I always thought they looked kinda cyborgy. Definitely expected them to be on the list somewhere
I've been subbed to you since your playthrough of Facade way back when, but last month at the age of 32 I finally started vanilla wow for the first time ever and I'm loving it. My husband convinced me. We're duoing as Pally Lock. Almost to lvl 40 and we'll both get a free mount he tells me lol. I seriously wish I'd known back when I was in high school/college that this game is so fun. I was obsessed with Oblivion and rts games at the time instead.
The other starter-quest boars that immediately spring to mind is the Mulgore ones (at least, they were there up to Wrath. Haven't levelled a Tauren in a long time) - even got a screenshot of my warrior in 2010 or so, killing one of them as a baby level 3 or so x P.S. And of *course* we're taking the pointless top 10 too seriously, that's the best part... getting worked up about something that doesn't matter even a little bit. It's refreshing, seeing as all the world seems to deal with currently, is literally life-and-death. That's why we love you, Crendor
Love these vids~ Would love to see you doing those fishing podcasts again, they were lovely~ (Maybe on guild wars 2 where you get a fishing boat with 4 party members :D )
I think it's easy for people to get confused about the pointlessness of the subject matter when every video opens on saying that the subject of the list is indeed pointless. "Hello everybody, welcome back to pointless top ten, a show where we make top ten lists out of [pointless things]. Why are we flying by this pointless statue in Booty Bay? Because inside [pointless things] are treasure. Let's begin!" At the end of the day, "Inside pointless things are treasure" is really the heart of the show, but some people get too hung up on the word pointless itself.
I am incredibly disappointed by the distinct lack of the most notable boar of both classic AND retail! Agathelos the Raging was truly the star of Razorfen Kraul, the most boar-centric dungeon in all of warcraft. And a terrible missed opportunity if you ask me. Looking forward to all the incredible boar-related content that I know is coming. Keep up the great work Cren!
"A show where I make a top 10 list out of pointless things... ... a lot of people get confused about that, the *things* aren't pointless, the *list* is pontless." Well which is it!?!
Helboars are good, I would probably place them even higher but that kinda goes against what they really are. They are just boars, that are special in a simple way, which is being infused by fel energy, but that's all they are. I find that simplicity rather elegant. I feel like in more modern WoW they would be part of some evil gnome's plan or there would be a whole quest chain about fighting off the demonic boars and finding and killing whoever created them, but not in TBC. Here they are just thematically fitting boars you kill for their meat and blood samples. That's it. Also, as a long time human player, I guess that Princess is a good representative of Elwyn boars, which were forever immortalized by South Park, but personally I find Bellygrub from Redridge much more memorable, since that's a boar that killed far more adventurers than Princess, seeing how she's much more difficult to take down and people (at least in Classic) often had to group up to take her down.
You missed a unique on that most people don't know about, SNORTS! He is sleeping in Frosthold, the pet of an alliance explorer league. He's in full armour and the only pet that only horde can tame as a hunter. I spent ages working my way to get him without aggroing the whole place and wake him up.
Not exactly, the Draenor through BFA boars use a totally different model from the Vanilla and BC boars, with terrible animations ripped from the Direhorn triceratops skeleton
@@DIEGhostfish A rcycled pointy pig model is still a recycled pointy pig model and he included the pointy pigs from Draneor through BfA at #10. It may be a pointless top ten but those boars have plenty of points.
It's called Leytusk, not Late Tusk and while there's no lore per se, there is a smaller battle pet version available through Alchemy called Thaumaturgical Piglet, which is fun. I imagine it is called "Leytusk" coz of the its spiny growths resemble the Leystone Ore in the region.
Princess was awesome bc of those stripes, I swear she was the only low level boar with those stripes so I would always tame her on new hunters just for a little cool factor😂
That's actually a pretty decent Pumba
Never a miss with the pointless top 10 vids
I think hellboars are underranked. The memory of these guys enraging in hellfire peninsula struck fear into my 13 year old heart.
The starving ones had a vastly increased aggro range as well, so it made avoiding them especially difficult if you were just trying to get around.
Ohhh, only the boars? 😅 What about the 100 feet tall monstrocity that roams the west (left) side of Hellfire Peninsula map? 🤣🤣🤣 First time i saw that huge robot i (and pardon my language) $h!ted my pants.

That's a really respectable dedication!
That boar is a rexxar-level companion
Should of had this narrated by boar thrills. Maybe you should invite him on next time Crendor
I think he has forgotten about Boar Thrills.
Those Boar Thrills videos are absolutely hilarious. I miss those
i want that tiny boar as a battle pet didnt know he existed
Such a boaring list. I loved it.
The joke about the boars not being in their garrison really cracked me up. I love boars.
I've waited a long time for this.
I have to admit that I was kind of sad you didnt include the armored boars in Razorfen Krull.
I was so hoping you'd have the Crag Boars on your Top 10. I actually got the WoW Cookbook specifically because I knew it had a recipe for Beer Basted Boar Ribs - and it was amazing! Better than any ribs I've had in a restaurant. 10/10 list. 10/10 recipe, will eat again.
HOLY MOLY! The long fabled top 10 pointless boars has arrived!
as someone who has played a hunter since Vanilla, boars were always one of my fondest pets
they used to be incredibly strong for solo leveling, able to generate a ton of threat and were fairly tanky
I remember wishing that we could tame helboars so badly for years, but they were classified as demons and not beasts until Cataclysm, it was a very exciting time (I picked up a Felboar myself)
Today I learned there is a tiny boar in Durotar. I've played that starting zone many times and I have never seen him!
So I guess Huffer and Puffer are a nod to the story of the 3 little pigs and the wolf who will huff and puff to destroy their homes.
Love these. One of my favourite boars is Snoot the Rooter in Elwyn Forest.
7:01 That is a weird but hilarious pathing glitch.
I was hoping for the big boar boss from razorfen kraul
Pointless top 10's are a real highlight of my day - gg on another fun installment. That said - I was a little sad to see that none of the armored boars made the list, nor was "Agathelos the Raging" there - granted - he kind of got destroyed with the reworking of Razorfen Kraul and no longer exist in retail WOW - but are still living large in Classic and are one of my favorites.

That's all just my opinion though.
And now they're all thistlebacon.
As a long time Quilboar fanboy, this is a good video that would please Agamaggan.
I have to thank Crendor once again for this excellent list, at no point was I boared during it :D
i've never even played wow, and im still enthralled
"The boars aren't pointless, the list itself is what's pointless" all too true. Just look at how many points are on those boars.
Demonic Boars and Fel boars definitely aren't pointless. Some people might even go so far as to say they are, in fact, rather pointy
The boar models are pretty cute ngl. The new and the old ones
65340285 that's how many boars you have to kill.
-Eric Cartman.
I have been through that section of Duratar so many times, too many times. And have never noticed that boar. Probably thought it was a rabbit
This certainly is a pointless list. I love it and I'm here for it.
Good stuff as always! Btw these fellas make for great Spoonerisms: Bellhoars, Belfoars, Boldsnoutcoars, Bragcoars, Bardhideshoars... after watching this video I feel like I've been visited by Woars with Angel Bings.
My favorite boar is the one in Redridge Mountains for that one’s quest at Lakeshire. Don’t remember his name, but I do remember the nostalgia 😌
Bellygrub!
Poor Bellygrub didn't even get a honorable mention :(
it is kind of funny that boars are always the lvl 1 trope enemy, but boars in real life are freaking scary roid beasts that are often far more aggressive and dangerous than wolves or other predators.
Where we started: "Ten Reasons Blizzard Should Do Vanilla WoW Servers"
Where we are: "Top 10 WoW Boars"
I love how far we've come.
I had no idea about Lo'Shall...omg!
Pretty neat stuff! I also sure do like Boars 🐗 in WoW!!!
Just noticed you never done a Pointless Top 10 Wolves 🐺 !
Maybe that could be an idea for a video ! 😉
Like, it's so obvious that he's scratching for content, but a top 10 of boars is ironically such a fantastic topic. Compared to DF content, this is so enjoyable, acknowledging how ridiculous it is to make a top 10 of boars. Phenomenal video Crendor, please keep it up
Love these, would like to see 10 pointless places to hangout.
What about the boar in Redridge? One of the deadliest boars in Azeroth.
Exactly. I expected him at 1. Bellygrub, I think? That thing killed me a ton.
Im a little sad my boy Rooter the Ravenous didnt make the list, hes a boar you can find in Gorgrond and if you do a quest to get him food, he joins your garrison as a wandering npc who hangs around. 10/10 Good Boar Boy
Great list! However you need to look into the Tauren start zone where they have the modified boars. They were modified by the quillboars. Battleboars I think they are called.
Gorged Boar elite in Drustvar, being Princess 2.0
Crendor should have mentioned the northrend plague boars. Specifically the ones near warsong hold.
Ayyy Lo'Shall made it to #1. My boi made it c;
"coldsnap sow" rhymes with "plough" or "bow" as in bend over in reverence, not "bow" like a pretty tied ribbon.
I didn't know this series was a thing but this is the best thing ever.
GO. WATCH. THEM. ALL. They are the best.
The black armored boars from RFK have been my favorite boar models since vanilla. Been a staple hunter pet since ive had a hunter high enough level to tame one
My favourite series on UA-cam.
Most informative top 10 yet! Its HARDLY EVEN NON-CONTENT! :D Thanks Crendor!
Crendors voice IS wow for me. I can go months or even a year not playing wow, and just hearing his voice makes me want re up that subscription. Great video.
You mentioning that gnome video made me realize I was around 13 years old when I first found your content. I'm 26 going on 27 now. I've known about this channel for over 13 years. Damn.
Great list! But how could you not include Agamaggan? It's THE boar of World of Warcraft, the boar Wild God! His corpse is even the entrance to RFD!
Very true! Though I would guess very few 'newer' players (I know Crendor is not a new player), even know where the entrance is, let alone what it looks like thanks to the group finder tool. I was also a little surprised that Agathelos the Raging didn't make the list, though granted he kind of got destroyed with the reworking of Razorfen Kraul and is only 'living large' in Classic now.
He isn't pointless enough. While making the video, we all talked about it with him, and he said he would consider Agamaggan but eventually decided against.
I thought about it, but the true wild god's are hellboars
Agamanggan is a wild god. He serves a point. Hellboar are hellboars. They serve no point. Thus! They belong on this pointless top 10 list. They exist to be slaughtered and looted. Because, after all, inside pointless things are treasure.
Let’s begin.
However it is a rather pointless list and somehow fitting that the God of Boars isn’t on it lmao
That boar family joke sure was funny! Great video.
My favorite boar of all time are the Agam ar in RFK, Agathelos the Raging was terrifying when i first encountered him in vanilla, and then he comes running at you and hes HUGE and then he 1 shots the tank with a crit. I always thought they looked kinda cyborgy. Definitely expected them to be on the list somewhere

About time! Boars has been one of the most obvious top 10 topics waiting to be made.
The other starter-quest boars that immediately spring to mind is the Mulgore ones (at least, they were there up to Wrath. Haven't levelled a Tauren in a long time) - even got a screenshot of my warrior in 2010 or so, killing one of them as a baby level 3 or so x

Same, hell boars are classic, rly well designed boar with character .
"they might be suffering on the inside but who isn't" is the quote of the century
These are the things greatness is made of
Love these vids~
Would love to see you doing those fishing podcasts again, they were lovely~
(Maybe on guild wars 2 where you get a fishing boat with 4 party members :D )
love it so much! I hope these never end.
Thanks for another great video. I always enjoy these..

At the end of the day, "Inside pointless things are treasure" is really the heart of the show, but some people get too hung up on the word pointless itself.
As funny as it seems. Was looking for pig to tame XD this is awesome!
I am incredibly disappointed by the distinct lack of the most notable boar of both classic AND retail!

And a terrible missed opportunity if you ask me.

It's not a boaring list to be sure.
"A show where I make a top 10 list out of pointless things...
... a lot of people get confused about that, the *things* aren't pointless, the *list* is pontless."
Well which is it!?!
I wonder is hellboars are in pain. Having spikes poke through your skin in unnatural ways looks super painful
Helboars are good, I would probably place them even higher but that kinda goes against what they really are. They are just boars, that are special in a simple way, which is being infused by fel energy, but that's all they are. I find that simplicity rather elegant.

Like adding a whole pre-sundering origin for the Naga's Snapdragon.
You missed a unique on that most people don't know about, SNORTS! He is sleeping in Frosthold, the pet of an alliance explorer league. He's in full armour and the only pet that only horde can tame as a hunter. I spent ages working my way to get him without aggroing the whole place and wake him up.
Some of these board are clearly warthogs.
In all my years of playing WoW, I've never seen Loshal! Blew my mind
I thought you'd throw us for a loop with quillboar at number one but Loshal was equally surprising to me, haha, good pointless list!
This guy spelled "Dun Morogh" as "Dumoreau." What are you DOING, Crendor!?
Sometimes life feels pointless, then I think of wowcrendor!
Not even Agamaggan the Boar God? Truly pointless
Now I want to go roll a hunter and tame all the boars on your list along with a few others. I liked taming a boar from Razorfen with the cool faces
You'd probably get ... boared pretty quickly.
When in doubt when making new enemy: Take existing enemy + spikes = cool new enemy. That's no regular boar, that's a SPIKY FELBOAR. Very scary.
That number 1 was the cutest thing ever
“Vile parody of boars” killed me
Felboars are very spikey.. so I'd say they're very pointy and not pointless at all.
10:55 I mean in a sense it's the fourth, the snowboars use the same pointy pig model.
Not exactly, the Draenor through BFA boars use a totally different model from the Vanilla and BC boars, with terrible animations ripped from the Direhorn triceratops skeleton
@@DIEGhostfish A rcycled pointy pig model is still a recycled pointy pig model and he included the pointy pigs from Draneor through BfA at #10. It may be a pointless top ten but those boars have plenty of points.
7:49 They do move in herds...
The live stream to find the boars was fun
Number 0: Stonetusk Boar
A 1 mana 1/1 charge minion is very scary, especially with all the combos it’s been used over the years…oh wait wrong game
This was not a BOARing video, I really enjoyed this ;D 😅
It's called Leytusk, not Late Tusk and while there's no lore per se, there is a smaller battle pet version available through Alchemy called Thaumaturgical Piglet, which is fun. I imagine it is called "Leytusk" coz of the its spiny growths resemble the Leystone Ore in the region.
Princess is most notable to me because she appeared in the Murloc RPG
Such a crime not putting Bellygrub on the list, he’s the most iconic piggy I can think of
There's no reason for these lists to exist and I love that that's the reason they exist anyway
Oh my GOD the tiny boar is so cute
my hunter has been running around with a Shardhide Boar named Ol' Spikeback for over a decade, they are best friends
Beautiful
Princess was awesome bc of those stripes, I swear she was the only low level boar with those stripes so I would always tame her on new hunters just for a little cool factor😂
7 out of 10 - too many boars
Don't see Bellygrub. The bane of Redridge Mountains.
The KragBoars is the new model we are owed to feel like a complete range
