Lore[]

Once a generation, a few Verdanth are born able to understand animal communication. But Savage was unique. Orphaned followed a devastating earthquake, Savage lived in the wild among the beasts of the rainforest, and was entirely separate from intelligent life... except for the Crogenitor Astra.

Directing the lost child towards mutagenic fungi of his own design, Astra marveled at the effects on the young Verdanthi. Savage grew from being able to understand animals, to being able to speak with them pheremonally and empathetically.

Gaining power over beasts and enormous heights, Savage became a legendary spectre of the rainforests. He enchanted the civilized Verdanthi who on rare occasions encountered him, as when he saved them from accidents or disasters. But following the Darkspore invasion, Savage became an avenging warrior-spirit. With his army of ferocious animals and his legendary, ruthlessly loyal fighting companion, he inflicted more damage on the Darkspore than any other fighter on the planet.

Trivia[]

Savage's Title and Lore are similar to that of the fictional character Tarzan.
Savage's pet's ability to resurrect him once after death will not work if Savage was vaporized by a Critical Strike or if the pet is not alive before Savage perishes.
Savage is often considered a weak hero because his abilities focus on his pet, not him. His passive is an example of this, not working if the pet isn't there.
Having three Savages in your squad will not provide you with three pets, in fact it will just make all three of the abilities recharge.
The Savage Ally in Savage's Concept Art possesses a shell on its back, reminiscent of a turtle.
Savage is the only hero to have his pet pictured with him in his Concept Art.
Also, Savage seems to have a "leash" on the Savage Ally in the form of a chain.
Savage Ally has Viper's head and feet.
Savage is depicted in his Concept Art with Fanged Knuckles, his Default Weapons, making him a hero who does not have his Cashout Weapon in his Concept Art. Other examples of this are: Sage, Revenant, SRS-42, Meditron (possibly) and Zrin (having no weapons at all).
