Pudge the Butcher is one of the most difficult heroes to play effectively, but
also one of the most rewarding. His Meat Hook skill is extremely deadly, but
also difficult to utilize. A well placed Meat Hook will snag an enemy hero and
drag them to the Butcher, dealing a lot of damage along the way. Once the
target has been hooked, Pudge uses his other two active skills to finish them
off. Rot is a toggled damage over time skill which affects all nearby enemies
and also Pudge himself. Pudge must be careful when using this skill. Although
it does a lot of damage it can quickly drain his life and make him easy prey for
enemies. To stop his target from escaping or fighting back, Pudge can use his
Dismember ability. This short range skill deals even more damage and completely
immobilizes the target. When used in succession, these three skills make Pudge a
dangerous assassin, although he may not look like it. To aid his risky gameplay,
Pudge has a passive skill called Flesh Heap. Flesh Heap provides some magic
resistance which reduces the damage he takes from rot, and gives him a minor
permanent bonus to his strength every time he kills a unit.

Butcher Background Story
An undead behemoth seemingly impervious to even the most potent
magic, this starving abomination roams the battlefield, continually in
search of unwary prey. It is said his victims catch only a glimpse of his
monstrous frame as they are dragged them through the shadows, bleeding
profusely as a jagged hook etches deeper in their flesh. Wails of agony echo
in the distance, only to be drowned out by the Butcher's maniacal laughter
as he severs their limp bodies with his great maw. Unspeakable horrors ensue
in a deathly silence, a dreadful omen for what is to come.
