"The mighty fire giant Shurrak cleaves his foes in two with his gigantic iron blade."[1]
Shurrak is a Giant Warrior from the Dungeons and Dragons portion of the continuity, and was included in the Heroes of Khorvaire expansion. Wizards of the Coast did not write lore bios for their Dungeons and Dragons Heroscape units, and so we know relatively little about this character.

Abilities[]
- Sweeping Sword Special Attack: Range 1 Attack 5.
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures adjacent to both Shurrak and the chosen figure are also affected by Sweeping Sword Special Attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. - Knockback 14:
When a small or meduim figure rolls defense dice and is not destroyed by a normal or special attack from Shurrak, immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 14 or higher, you may Knockback that figure by placing it on any empty space within 3 clear sight spaces of Shurrak. The space must be on the same level as or lower than its current location. A figure moved by Knockback never takes any leaving engagement attack. A non-flying figure moved lower by Knockback can recieve any falling damage that may apply. - Lava Resistant:
Shurrak never rolls for molten lava damage or lava field damage, and he does not have to stop on molten lava spaces.
Synergy[]
- Ornak: Red Flag of Fury
As a Unique Hero that follows Utgar, Shurrak may benefit from Ornak’s Red Flag of Fury turn exchange ability. - Fire Elemental: Searing Intensity
Because of his Lava Resistant power, Shurrak is one of the few figures not affected by the Fire Elemental’s Searing Intensity.
History[]
In the Dungeons and Dragons portion of the continuity, Shurrak was summoned by Utgar to Valhalla.
He would be assigned to help guard the Shadow Cavern, a cave where the newly fledged Valkyrie General Valkrill would make his first attempts to summon an army into Valhalla.[2]
