Warthogs are Threats in Raft. They are one of multiple hostile creatures.

Summary

The Warthog is a creature found on Large Islands. Warthogs will attack the player by charging at them. When a Warthog is killed, its parts can be harvested by interacting with it. The Warthogs do not respawn when killed. Harvesting the corpse will provide 4 Leather and a Warthog Head.

Strategies

Luring to Water

One easy way to kill the Warthog is to lure it near water. After doing so, walk to the shore and wait for it to charge at you. Retreat back into the water and when the Warthog has finished charging, it will become disoriented for a second and you will be able to stab/shoot it. This can be sped up by shooting the Warthog while it's on land before coming onto the shore to attract its attention once more. Note how far the Warthog charges you, as it will be the same all consecutive charges.

Shot Down with Metal Arrows

The Warthog can be killed quickly on land with a Basic Bow and Metal Arrows. When the Warthog has been encountered, hold the charge button for the bow and fire at it repeatedly whilst strafing and jumping around. The Warthog will be killed after firing 5 metal arrows. Since this can be done very quickly, the arrows that have been fired into the Warthog can be retrieved as long as the body has not been picked up yet.

Wall Jumping

Equipping a Metal Spear, the player can lure the Warthog to a wall and repeatedly stab it without taking damage. This is done by jumping backwards up the wall and "wall surfing" while the Warthog is charging. While the Warthog id disoriented, jump down and stab it twice before jumping up the wall again before next charge. This can be done until the Warthog has been killed. Avoid hanging on the wall for too long, or the Warthog will run away.
