BEIGAD

In Icelandic myth, Beigad was a wild boar which attempted to master the sows of Ingimund. After a long and exhausting hunt, the hunters drove him to the edge of the sea, whereupon Beigad leapt into waves and swam towards a nearby hill. His great feat exhausted him and the hunters speared him to death. (See also Twrch Trwyth.)
