The curse had turned his blood black and oily, which Oko noted weakens magic that is exposed to it, however, he lost this quality after his curse was removed. However, after his curse was removed he was free of this mania. He was driven to kill by the curse of the chain veil, leading him to hunt planeswalkers as they were the 'prey' he desired. After defeating particularly difficult prey, Garruk sometimes 'connects' them to himself, gaining their strength. Garruk has an uncanny understanding of the animal's mind. Garruk perceives those who don't understand him as considering him a monster. He is gruff and impatient, uncomfortable in a conversation, or 'civilized settings', and prefers the wilds. Garruk's philosophy is to live naturally, be one with nature, aspiring to become a predator. He can see (or sense) trails of magic, including those left by planeswalking.

His rusty helm usually covers his hair and the top half of his face. His height is 8 feet 2 inches (2.5 meters) and his weight is 480 pounds (217 kilograms). Garruk is a giant of a man, having used growth and vigor magic so frequently that he's permanently enhanced his own physical size. 2.2 The Hunter, the Veil, and The Veil's Curse.
