Dota: Rigwarl

67

By Volty

A quillboar who wasn't too interested in joining the fight for the Ancients. Their elders were convinced that the scourge would wander into their lands once they were done conquering the rest of the world. One of their strongest, an elite warrior, was chosen to represent their race in the battles to come. This hero turned out to be Rigwarl. He brings the primal power of the forest dwellers into battle... conquering everything through his strength and bristled back alone. He is a perfect demonstration of the forces even lesser beings could unleash if they had to. While the rest of the sentinels aren't quite sure what to make of him, as he can't even speak, the wisps of the forest are sure he will be a strong ally at their side in the upcoming Dota battle.

Bristleback skills

Rigwarl is a very sturdy Defense of the Ancients hero who most people underestimate. His spells and abilities seem very weak at first glance. However, in the hands of an expert, the Bristleback can tank almost double the damage of other characters from behind. His other abilities all add to the mess on the battlefield... slowly whittling away the energies of his foes and building up his power.

Warpath: Rigwarl goes into a maddened rage whenever mana energy courses through his body. This ability kicks in whenever he uses any of the skills below. His fury gives him both bonus movement speed and attack speed. If that wasn't enough, any additional abilities continue to contribute, making his warpath stronger than ever.

Bristled back: His back is covered in weak, pointy spines. These help absorb any damage. Should a Dota hero strike him hard enough, the quills will burst off of him and hit them in the face.

Quill spray: Rigwarl can shake and release quills from his bristled back towards his enemies. Anyone caught in a very large area will take a minor amount of damage. However, their true damage comes in the little pinpricks they leave on the enemy. Any heroes hurt by more quillsprays from the Bristleback will take additional damage for each time they've been hit previously.

Vicious Nasal Goo: A disgusting ability of the Dota Rigwarl character. He is able to sneeze on someone from a very long range. This weakens the target's armor a bit with the viscousness of the attack. Each burst of snot will cumulatively slow their movements as well as it finds it's way into chinks of their armor.
