Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Polymorph: Boar notes.
- Polymorph: Boar is a permanent transformation effect that cannot be reversed; the targeted minion will remain as a Boar, even if it is returned to its owner's hand.
- Because the Boar is an entirely new minion with Charge, it will immediately be able to attack that turn, even if the minion that was transformed was already exhausted.
- As with all golden cards, using either a regular Polymorph: Boar on a golden minion, or a golden Polymorph: Boar on a regular minion, will produce a golden Boar.
Lore
In World of Warcraft, there are several ways for a Mage to modify their Polymorph to not transform the target into a sheep, but into another animal altogether, such as a porcupine, black cat, monkey or pig. Polymorph: Boar, however, is unique to Hearthstone. Furthermore, in World of Warcraft the different animals are just visually different and do not grant any abilities or altered stats, unlike the Hearthstone version's granting Charge and bonus Attack and Health.
The flavor text "It's always Huffer" refers to the "Always Huffer" meme, describing the apparent ability of Hunters (Face Hunters in particular) to summon Huffer from Animal Companion whenever it is the most unfortunate result for the opponent. While Polymorph: Boar results in a different minion, it has identical stats to Huffer.
