a tusked tank that runs 30 mph and fears almost nothing with legs
means A wild pig, or specifically an uncastrated male domestic pig, known for its tusks and aggressive temperament.
from From Old English 'bar,' a word for the male swine that runs deep through the Germanic family — a cousin of Old High German 'bēr' and Dutch 'beer.' The roots trail off into uncertainty beyond there, but the animal itself has been grunting through English vocabulary, unchanged in spirit, since the earliest written days of the language.
