"Target one of your or your allies' Town Centers to summon and command Freyr's golden boar Gullinbursti to defend the area. Gullinbursti becomes much stronger each age."
In-game description

Gullinbursti is a Norse Archaic Age god power in Age of Mythology: Retold - New Gods Pack: Freyr that is available to worshipers of Freyr. When invoked on the player's own or an ally's Town Center (but not Village Centers), it summons the giant golden boar of Freyr, which will guard the Town Center. The invocation causes a shockwave, so if it is invoked on enemy troops, they receive damage and are flung away (as if hit by a single weaker Meteor).

Gullinbursti Hero

"Divine hero. A radiant boar wielding Freyr's power, sent from Alfheimr to defend a Town Center for a limited time. His power and speed wanes the further he travels from the summoning point."
In-game description

Gullinbursti is an Archaic Age Norse hero available to Freyr, introduced in Age of Mythology: Retold - New Gods Pack: Freyr. It is obtained by invoking the god power on the player's own or an ally's Town Center. It is a strong hero unit whose attributes increase every age. Its size and appearance also change with the ages.

Its speed increases up to 6.5 tiles per second when near the summoned building, and decreases gradually to the base value of 2.3 the further away it moves. Unlike other heroes, Gullinbursti cannot collect Relics. It does not passively generate favor like Hersirs. It can quickly move around using a Greek ally's Underworld Passage.

◆ Diet -- fueled by peat and magic

Freyr, the brother of Freyja, had a chariot drawn by a boar that was not a living animal, but was forged by the dwarves Brokk and Eitri. Gullinbursti ('golden mane') had glowing bristles that lit up the dark. He could run faster than any horse, over sky and water. The dwarves manufactured the battle boar as a result of a wager with Loki over which family of dwarves could make the best gift for the Norse gods. Eitri placed a pig's hide in the forge, while Brokk worked the bellows. Loki took the form of a fly to bite Brokk and distract him from doing his work. Freyja also rode a battle boar named Hildisvini."
