🐗 HogRiders — Companion Mounts for Valheim 📝 Introduction

HogRiders brings rideable boar companions into Valheim that grow stronger as you progress. But these are not ordinary mounts — each Hog is unique to you.

🐾 Personal Companions – Each boar is tied to your Steam ID and remembers its name, stamina, and health.

⚔️ No Exploits – Unsummoning does not reset stamina or health. If your boar is exhausted or injured, it returns exactly the same.

🍖 Care System – Boars need to be well-fed and happy to regenerate stamina properly. A hungry boar will refuse to recover efficiently.

💀 Death Consequence – If your boar dies, there’s a chance the ring is destroyed, permanently losing the companion. Crafting multiple rings of the same type won’t bypass this — they will always summon your one true boar.

👹 Intended Behavior – Boars don’t attract aggro and won’t fight enemies unless you mount and command them. They are designed as loyal companions, not war machines.

🌍 Server-Friendly – Perfect for multiplayer servers without portals. Your Hog helps you travel long distances and gather resources.
