Three Variations When Spawning
One of the big changes to Baron Nashor in Season 14 is that he will have three different variations, one of which will be randomly selected whenever he spawns. Each of these different forms come with a new moveset and arena, which you will need to adapt to from game to game. Here is a sneak peek at how some of these variations are going to look in-game:

As you can see from the image, both his model and the arena around him have a new and updated look, similar to the one added for the Rift Herald. However, this arena around the Baron is the classic one, so lets take a look at one of the newer variants:

As you can see from this image, this is one of the new variations of his arena. This arena has openings on both sides, towards the top and middle lane. Having a random chance for a different style of arena around the Baron is going to favor players, that are able to improvise and adapt on the spot. Also, here is the third arena:
One more thing to mention is that the buff received from the Baron is going to remain the same, however something new is also going to happen upon his arrival:

Empowered Jungle Minions (Void Camps)
Once Baron Nashor appears on the Rift at the 20-minute mark, the Blue Sentinel and Red Brambleback undergo a transformation during their respawn. They become Voidborn Sentinel and Voidborn Brambleback, respectively, gaining increased durability, making them more challenging to defeat. However, the additional effort is worthwhile, as once taken down, Blue and Red grant their buffs to the entire team of the player responsible for the takedown, excluding any allies who are currently dead.

Additionally, following the 20-minute mark, the Rift Scuttler transforms into Voidborn Scuttler upon respawn. Upon defeat, Voidborn Scuttler triggers a substantial Scryer’s Bloom effect, revealing all champions and wards in a large surrounding area. Similar to Scryer’s, wards exposed in this manner will have their HP reduced to 1.
