Appearance[]

Bouldergut is a massive female ogre with yellowed teeth and greasy gray hair that falls in her face. She wears a simple leather tunic, and wields a large greatclub made from the mast of a ship.[1][2]

Personality[]

Bouldergut is simple minded but obedient and loyal, particularly to Captian Avantika. She often comes across as jovial and even friendly despite her fearsome appearance, but shows great enthusiasm for acts of violence when given the chance.
