I really do like the idea of this but a color-changing boar seems little weird for the rare Ice Spikes Biome. Heres my idea and I hope you don't mind me going off of your idea. Instead of having it change colors have it as either a light blue pig with ice tusks, you could call it an IceBoar! Or a wooly pig with normal tusks, these could be sheared for brown wool or even white (kinda like a rare sheep) but it drops a rare tusk which can be used to craft some kind of weapon.
So, something that occured to me is that there are really only 2 mythical biomes in Minecraft: Ice Plains Spikes and the Mushroom Island. These two seem very distant from natural things, and are very rare. And for that reason, I consider them parallels. That led me to think of this: There is a mob exclusive to the Mushroom Island, while the Ice Plains Spikes gets nothing. So I thought up an IPS-exclusive mob. Here we go!
The Boarealis is a variant on the Pig, with color changing skin (like when you name a sheep Jeb) and two ivory tusks. It has the same stats as a Pig, with the same ability to ride it. However, when riding it and using a Carrot on a Stick, it moves about as fast as a player with Swiftness 10. This can make for extremely fast travel on player-made paths, but it isn't very useful on normal terrain due to the sheer speed. Also, it cannot jump more than 1 block high.
It drops 0-2 Raw Porkchops and 0-2 Prisms. Prisms can be used as rainbow dye, creating a rainbow gradient (does not change colors) on wool, leather armor, wolf collars, clay, banners, glass and fireworks (creates several multicolored particles). It also has a 2.5% chance to drop a Boar Tusk, which can craft a Potion of Resistance. Corrupting that will create a Potion of Weakness.
What do you think? (If anyone would be kind enough to make a model and/or banner, I would love that!)
good idea, the pun is awesome (If they add this, I'm getting a pet one, and naming it Aurora) also, I like the potion of resistance, but the speed, that would be impossible to control to a point were it would be useless, so maybe it could go only 2 or 3 times the speed of a normal pig and if you right click and jump within a 3 second period(to avoid misuses) it would do a super jump that is about 20-50 block high. also it should be able to jump 3-5 blocks high and not take fall damage since the borealis is way up in the sky, also you should be able to get random bottles of dye from right clicking it with a bottle, and get aurora dye by putting 4 prisms in a + shape, 4 bottles on the corners, and a bucket of water in the center, the aurora dye will act like jeb_ sheep and the Boarealis in the color shifting category because the moment I heard rainbow dye in a topic about color-changing pigs, my expectations were high, Boarealis should drop rainbow pork chops which are as good as Steak and give regen1 for 15-30 seconds and the tusk drop rate should increase to 5-10% I think that 2.5% is less than the wither scull drop rate, but im not sure

Glad you like it! I'll reduce the speed, and point out something that was there from the beginning but not easy to figure out: With Prisms, other dyes and Leather Armor, you can actually make striped armor!
About the super jump, I don't want these to outclass horses entirely, I want an alternative that has different strengths. Oh, and I love the idea of a color-changing dye, but I'll make it so you can't dye sheep with it due to the jeb_ easter egg, but sheep named that will drop the rainbow wool.

I'm glad that your glad that I like it, also, what if there was something like leather that you could mix with dye to get dyed leather that you could surround any piece or armor to get colored armor with the same armor rating. Disco Diamond Anyone?
You had a great point there, with the "no mobs in ice biomes" part, but the idea of an iced-up pig isn't enjoyable to me. This was a pretty creative idea, I'll give you props for that. But, overall, I'd like the ice biome skylines to be filled with Baby Mammoths instead. Partial support

You can mount them and they move at extremely fast speeds. Also rainbow dye.

Seems rather interesting minus the tusk bit. Overall I like the idea.

My #1 reason for not agreeing with (not not liking because it is likeable) is that it could be fairly OP for someone like me
who gathers mobs to farm them. That would enable the ability to have that potion almost always.
2. Because we already have protection enchants and fire resistance potions and having all 3 of these would make the
player near impervious to any damage.
3. If you mix a potion of resistance with glowstone dust that would be 40% damage resistance, That would be roughly
the same as iron armor I think. So a full blown resistence potion and a set of diamond armor enchanted with protection 2 or 3
would render you invincible.
But like I said, I do support the rest of it. Just this seems very OP
