I wonder if it was a Dark One who could transform into a fire-breathing boar? Like usually he’s a man, but he can shapeshift?

Well, Gordon’s story is quite tragic.  His real name was Pumba.  He was not actually a boar but a Warthog but the Dark One Curse distorted that.  

You see after the death of his Meerkat life partner he just couldn’t cope so he decided to go skewer a Dark One on his tusk and get revenge on the world that wronged him.  However as he impaled The Dark One with his tusk the Dark One either accidentally (or by Pumba’s rage) fell onto the kriss dagger he carried.   Though the name Pumba was on the dagger now the angry Dark One Warthog took on the name Gordon.

He became obsessed with raising Meerkats from the dead.  It was during such an experiment that created a zombified Timon that the desperate, starving, and otherwise heroic Zoso snuck up on him and killed him.   He had roast Warthog that night as The Dark One.

…Is that not how Zoso became The Dark One?

I think I might need more sleep…

VERY VERY VERY ACCEPTED INDEED.
