Banehallow the Lycanthrope focuses on sudden, swift attacks. He
can often be found lurking the forest with his wolves, then suddenly
bursting forth with a dread howl, chasing down and killing fragile enemy
heroes. His wolf companions are deadly fighters, and are capable of
dealing a lot of damage on their own. They are also excellent at helping
the Lycanthrope kill neutral units, allowing him to get a lot of gold without
letting enemy heroes know where he is. While hidden, the Lycanthrope
can use his Howl ability, which infuses all allies across the map with extra
damage. Feral Impulse grants sizable damage and attack speed bonuses
to both Banehallow and his summons. When he deems the time is right, the
Lycanthrope transforms into his wolf form with Shapeshift. While shapeshifted,
no enemy can outrun the Lycanthrope and his wolves, and he gains bonuses
to his hit points, attack speed, and a critical strike. There is little his victims can
do against such a monster, since there is nowhere to run. The only hope is if
they have a champion capable of defeating him in combat.

Lycanthrope Background Story
Banehallow is an avatar of bestial fury created by the scourge. For years
he has dwelled in the dark forests of the world, hunting innocents that
wander therein. Now he is called to aid his masters. He revels in blood
and battle, using his wolfish persona to draw the feral beasts to his side
and imbue his allies with his flesh-shredding strength. He is also unnaturally
quick and agile. Some say he can even transform into a giant wolf, giving
him more durability and the speed to gouge and maim with near impunity.
