Description
For decades, the enormous cyclops Borborygmos has commanded the respect and obedience of the Gruul Clans by defeating all who challenged him. He embodies the raging fire that the Gruul believe burns in their bellies, and his wrath toward the civilization of Ravnica knows no bounds.
Mightiest of the Mighty. Borborygmos leads the Burning Tree clan, which is the largest and most diverse of the Gruul Clans. He is almost always accompanied by other members of his clan - not because he needs their protection, but because they might need his . His companions include creatures ranging from burly giants to cowering goblins.
The Gruul follow strength, and Borborygmos holds his position only because he has proved stronger than any challenger.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Borborygmos fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
Poor Depth Perception. Borborygmos has disadvantage on any attack roll against a target more than 30 feet away.
Siege Monster. Borborygmos deals double damage to objects and structures.

Wide Berth (Costs 3 Actions). Borborygmos moves up to half his speed and can move through the space of any creature smaller than Huge. The first time Borborygmos enters a creature's space during this move, the creature must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw.
