Meat Hook

Launches a bloody hook at a unit or location. The hook will snag the first target it encounters, dealing damage then dragging the victim back to the Butcher.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	110	14	600	100	N/A	Deals 90 damage and drags the victim to the Butcher
2	120	13	800	100	N/A	Deals 180 damage and drags the victim to the Butcher
3	130	12	1000	100	N/A	Deals 270 damage and drags the victim to the Butcher
4	140	11	1200	100	N/A	Deals 360 damage and drags the victim to the Butcher

• Damage type: pure • Invisible units can be hooked normally. • Meat Hook can go through cliffs, trees, structures and siege creeps. • The tip of the Meat Hook is what drags the units to the Butcher, so touching the Meat Hook in any other part than its tip will not trigger its effect. • Meat Hook deals damage and a ministun to enemy units, effectively interrupting them. Allied units can be dragged too, but neither the damage nor the ministun will be dealt to them.

Rot

Pudge releases the disease and filth inside of him, dealing intense damage and slowing surrounding enemies while hurting Pudge as well.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	0	N/A	N/A	250	N/A	35 damage per second. Reduces movement speed of enemies by 20%
2	0	N/A	N/A	250	N/A	60 damage per second. Reduces movement speed of enemies by 20%
3	0	N/A	N/A	250	N/A	85 damage per second. Reduces movement speed of enemies by 20%
4	0	N/A	N/A	250	N/A	110 damage per second. Reduces movement speed of enemies by 20%

• Damage type: magical
• Rot can be activated while using Dismember without interrupting it.
• Deals damage and slows invisible units as well.
• If Pudge is silenced while Rot is activated, he will not be able to de-activate it until the silence wears off.
• Pudge can deny himself using this skill.

Flesh Heap

Pudge is made of innumerable rotting corpses, giving him extra protection against spells as well as the chance to add more to his bulk.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Gives Pudge 4% extra resistance to spells. +0.9 STR for hero kills.
2	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Gives Pudge 8% extra resistance to spells. +1.2 STR for hero kills.
3	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Gives Pudge 12% extra resistance to spells. +1.5 STR for hero kills.
4	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Gives Pudge 16% extra resistance to spells. +1.8 STR for hero kills.

• Spell resistance stacks with that from items.
• Gains Strength for enemy heroes that die nearby (450 AoE), or if Pudge kills them.
• The ability is retroactive, meaning the strength gain will be adapted once you lvl up flesh heap.

Dismember

Chows down on a target, causing excruciating pain. Lasts 3 seconds.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	100	30	160	N/A	3 seconds (heroes) / 6 seconds (creeps)	75 (75 + 0.75x strength*) damage per second
