Alpha Hog

The Alpha Hog is the larger version of Fluffy-tailed Hog that is also considerably more dangerous, dealing up to 3x the damage.

The Alpha Hog usually patrols around Crash Sites, Power Slugs or artifacts.

Behaviour
Aggressive melee creature. It is hostile towards Engineers and will charge at them. It will, however, ignore tractors (even with a player in them). If the Hog gets attacked while the player is standing on a platform out of reach of the Hog, it will flee. It has two attack patterns: A charge attack which deals 20 damage each hit, and a bite attack that deals 30 damage. Be warned, its charge attack is more difficult to dodge than that of a normal Hog. It is advised to build temporary Ladder and shoot it with Rebar Gun. If it tries to escape, you can trap it with walls. You could also trap it with several Splitters as they do not require foundations to snapped on.
