An ancient beast awakened from a long slumber, he uses a wide array of savagely cunning abilities which can impede the enemy groups. Rushing savagely through enemies and allies alike, Primal Beast Tramples into battle as one born to raise a ruckus. An unavoidable threat amidst any fray, the Uproared Beast can punish attackers and Hurl Massive Rocks at them with ease. It relishes grabbing prey and Pulverizing them against the ground until nothing but mush remains. A fearsome beast, the Primal Beast shows no mercy to his helpless prey as the epitome of a true apex predator. | |

Bio[edit]
RAAWR
Lore:
Though the deterioration of the Mistwood and its evolution from idyllic expanse to death-filled tanglewild was a slow, wizard-fueled process, most scholars agree the true beginning of the end was marked by the interdimensional arrival of the Primal Beast.
A creature hatched into an existence devoid of all feeling but hunger and pain, aeons of carnage shaped the Primal Beast into the apex predator on a planet filled with violent terrors. Desperately banished by would-be masters with failed hopes to control him, the beast was cast into a new world — one where he could ascend from mere hungry predator into an invasive killing machine with nothing able to stand in his way.
For thousands of years, the Mistwood served as massive stomping ground for the beast's destructive play — and even the feared durana beasts made for tasty snacks. Indeed, there could be no rivals for the beast's territory, only minor annoyances. Until one such tiny annoyance employed vile trickery to trap the unstoppable Beast in the Gleipnir.
There he might have remained subdued for eternity, were it not for the unpredictable powers of the Continuum Device. Now, freed from both Gleipnir and Vault, far afield from the Mistwood, and much closer to inhabited lands, the beast sets his snout towards new slaughters and the delights of savage destruction — and the paltry fires of civilization will do little to keep this ageless monster at bay.

Trivia[edit]
- The Primal Beast first debuted in Aghanim's Labyrinth: The Continuum Conundrum as the event's final boss, appearing several months before he was released as a playable hero.
- An easter egg was added before the hero release, where at the game start, all heroes were stunned followed by a Roar.
- The Primal Beast wears three skulls on the "barding" that he wears as a sign of his previous imprisonment, possibly as trophies.
- Connected to one of his back-plates is the skull of what appears to be a Slithereen, Slardar's race.
- Shackled to his left leg is the skull of what appears to be a rhino's resembling that of Frull's, the Shopkeeper's trusty beast of burden. Often mistaken for Magnus' skull, the longer skull and the hole in its horn where her ring is supposed to be is proof that this is indeed Frull's skull, two features that Magnus lacks.
- On his right shoulder is another rhino-like skull. This one may or may not be a Magnoceroi skull.
- Hoodwink's response upon buying Gleipnir, ▶️ "Wait, if the Gleipnir's here. Then he's... I gotta go." is a reference to Primal Beast who she had chained up with it.
- This in return may be a reference to the item being based on the Gleipnir artifact from Norse mythology that leashed the demon wolf Fenrir to prevent him from starting Ragnarok.
