About

Boris refers to distinct characters across retro gaming, notably the giant mutated rhinoceros in Rampage 2: Universal Tour and Rampage Through Time. Additionally, Boris is a playable champion in the Dungeon Master franchise and a racing elephant in the 1998 game Running Wild.
Within the overarching Dungeon Master franchise ecosystem, the 1993 release of Dungeon Master features Boris as a dedicated magic-user. Players select his portrait from the Hall of Champions, utilizing his high initial wisdom and mana regeneration to cast advanced spells. His default inventory includes a wizard staff, positioning him as a vital spellcasting asset.
In Running Wild, Boris competes across diverse fantasy tracks. He features specialized attributes, boasting high top speed and weight at the expense of acceleration, requiring players to maintain momentum through complex hazards.
For the titles Rampage 2: Universal Tour and Rampage Through Time, Boris serves as a heavy-class destroyer. Unlocked by completing specific regional campaigns, his signature moves include a devastating headbutt and a ground-shake jump, which efficiently clear military defenses and collapse high-rise structures. His inclusion in these releases expanded the gameplay variety, offering a high-damage alternative to more agile roster choices.
