Is this Pig possessed by Hydaelyn?

Also worth noting that with Minfilia, the boar, Minfilia Again and Krile, we're clearly looking at a blue 'base color' for those eyes that then has some additional glow; if you de-glowed them it'd still be blue.

Meanwhile, Midas' eyes are actually grey under that glow.

Big true, nice observation!

Here's Bozja- Queen Gunn is that paler blue but it's distinctive and not a solid glow.


And the tempered soldier, again a darker blue.



But I think there are overworld mobs that have those solid glowing eyes so it's probably not supposed to be a possession/primal problem.

But it is "Boar of Paradise", the rare mob variant much like the Black Chocobo or Yellow Coblyn or Weird Spriggan.

Surely it's just a coincidence...

I might be worried if the boar crackles with blue energy and produces a voice that says "I am assuming direct control" though...

I mean, someone did once point out to me the weirdest thing about the Island Sanctuary, that does seem very fun in retrospect: The cave very clearly has fossils in it. Yet we know that Etheirys isn't exactly a world whose history facilitates the existence of it.

So, was there a form of normal Earth history that permitted the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs? Or did one of any number of godlike creatures put the fossils there to test us!?

It's just where Thal put his seashell collection. Even a god needs hobbies.
