Puzzled over the words

At about 1 hour 22 mins into the film King Uther is in his tent, and he has been obsessing over Igraine. Merlin comes to see him in his tent and says to Uther - "I don't know you anymore, you've become an Ura Boris". I don't know if this is how you spell Ura Boris, but can anyone tell me how it is properly spelt and what the words mean?

Muchly appreciated

That's "ouroboros", the symbol of the snake eating its own tail.
