Basically, my current attempts at homebrewing are taking basic monsters and adding special attacks and properties to them to get some experience with modifying CR and balancing things. I'm posting my creations here so I can be sure that I'm nailing these things down properly.
I hope it doesn't seem like I'm Electric obsessed or anything. Basically, it was the next thing to come to mind. I'm sure the dual use of the word "Charge" was somehow involved.
Sometimes, wizards have nothing better to do than screw around with genetics. With sparks of electricity jumping across its body and an unusual speed to it, it seems this boar was born of this irreverence for the natural order
