Bushwack - Hero Teaser

In the northeast reaches of the Rulian Marsh exist a tribe that have fought hard for a place to call their own. However there are those who leave the marsh, sometimes by choice, but most times by force. Bushwack is a hunter that has been living on his own for years. Ostracized from his tribe at a young age for tampering with the technology of an abandoned Dwarven village. Considered to be bad voodoo by the tribal elders, such interactions with the strange machinery was not only forbidden but punishable by exile. Bushwack pleaded with the elders saying that it is foolish to not use the power of one of their greatest foes, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. So he parted ways with his people in order to pursue his passions.

Now he is one of the most feared hunters of the southern parts of Death's Cradle, using his troll cunning and dwarven ingenuity, to eliminate foes from great distances. Even though he works alone he is steadfast in the protection of his home and has aligned himself with the Helbourne who are also enemies of the Dwarves. Meeting the Electrician and Dr. Repulsor cemented his belief that the only way for his people to survive in these changing times is through harnessing technology, and leaving the voodoo behind.

Bushwack is a short-ranged agility carry who hunts his targets through great mobility and deadly poison.

- Added Pandamonium Alt Avatar: Muay Tigermonium preview
* From deep in Death's Cradle comes a new kind of warrior - a beast whose fists, feet, elbows, and knees have been honed into weapons far more deadly than claw and fang. This unstoppable fighter has entered the fray not to fight the good fight, but simply to keep on fighting for his honor and to prove once and for all that Muay Tigermonium is the greatest there is!

- Added a new Maliken Alt Avatar: Young Maliken preview
* Winner for the second avatar shuffle! Young Maliken comes to us from a time before he fell to temptation. This is the mighty General of the Legion of Man during the great wars with the Beasts, the one man who could unite the disparate tribes of savages into an army like the world had never before seen - and who would bear the trophies of his conquests for his enemies to fear.

- Added Cthulhuphant Alt Avatar: Royal Cthulhuphant preview
* In some cultures, the White Elephant is revered as Holy and Royal. This is true within Newerth as well. While Cthuluphant himself is a force of chaos, Royal Cthuluphant takes a more sagely position. Consulting among his three heads to ensure his actions benefit not just himself, but the land as well, this Royal Ctuluphant has allied himself against his brother and joined the Legion forces.

- Added a new Master of Arms Alt Avatar: Master of Bows preview
* Meet Eagleeye, the Master of Bows. Unlike his brother, Eagleeye does not believe that firearms are the key to the Legion beating the Hellbourne, but instead victory will lie in the hands of the skilled men and beasts and their ability to train themselves to use the tools at hand to defeat the daemonic invasion. With his bows in hand he takes aim at the enemies of the Legion like a true avenging force!
