Lore

The origin of the manticores is a mystery, even to the gods. Some say they are the children of Tiamat, with the first of their number born out of her cosmic waters and left to prowl the wild places where few dare tread. Others claim they were created to guard ancient treasures. But regardless of their origin, they are wild, powerful and daring man-eaters – voracious in their appetites and fierce in battle.

And fiercest among them is their self-proclaimed king, Martichoras. Martichoras, first of the man-eaters; strongest and oldest of his kind. He was the first manticore to stalk the world, after emerging from the waters of Tiamat. Eldest and wildest of her progeny, he carved the savage path that all other manticores follow.

His name was first recorded in the annals of the Greeks by the historian Ctesias, though it is believed he was known to the Persians as well. King Martichoras has roamed many lands, and laid waste to many peoples in his quest to make himself ruler of his kind; his depredations are legend, even among the gods themselves.

He has earned the respect of his fellow manticores through sheer strength and power – those being the only virtues manticores insist on. It is even claimed by some among them that Martichoras has battled the gods...and emerged victorious.

Whatever the truth to these claims, Martichoras’ power is undeniable. He dominates all who cross his path; and those he doesn’t dominate, he devours. He has prowled the jungles of the south for centuries, eating anyone unlucky enough to cross his path. Those who’ve managed to escape his jaws speak of his speed and cunning; and of the relentlessness of his pursuit.

But despite his power, Martichoras has been, of late, content to remain in his jungle – until now. Some say he has emerged seeking revenge against the gods for their slaughter of his followers. Others believe he has merely grown tired of hunting humans and desires new sport – namely the gods. Still others insist that Martichoras has decided that the time has come to once more extend the limits of his dominion.

Whatever the reason, Martichoras is now on the hunt – and whoever he has set his sights on had best beware...

Abilities

Passive - Monstrosity Martichoras gains up to 100 stacks of Ferocity for hitting Basics, Abilities, and earning kills or assists. Once maxed, he loses all Ferocity and gains an Attack Speed buff that increases in duration by Basic Attacking gods. He also gains a permanent Monstrosity stack of 0.75% Physical Lifesteal and 0.75% Physical Ability Lifesteal. Notes:   Martichoras' Basic Attacks deal 1.25% basic attack damage per tick (every 0.5s), stacking for a total of 40% basic attack damage with 8 stacks.   The DoT doesn't affect towers, phoenixes, player-made deployables nor wards.   The Attack Speed buff provides 35% Attack Speed (16% at level 1) at level 20 while Monstrosity buff stacks up to 22.5% Physical/Ability Lifesteal.   Attack Speed: 15% + 1% per level for 6s, up to 12s   Max Monstrosity Stacks: 30   Ability Type: Buff Ability Video 1st Ability - Acid Rain Martichoras fires hundreds of venomous spikes from his wings, creating a circular rain of spikes that deals damage as it rolls forward. As the rain moves, it leaves behind a toxic trail that slows and damages all enemies within the trail. Notes:   Can deal up to 116/180/244/308/372 (+130% of your Physical Power) damage.   Initial Damage: 80/120/160/200/240 (+70% of your Physical Power)   Trail Damage: 6/10/14/18/22 (+10% of your Physical Power every 0.5s)   Slow: 25/27.5/30/32.5/35%   Trail Duration: 3s   Ability Type: Area, Slow, Damage   Range/Radius: 40,60/11   Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana   Cooldown: 14 seconds Ability Video 2nd Ability - Poisoned Barb Martichoras shoots a stinger, dealing damage, piercing minions, and stopping on the first enemy god hit. The stinger then persists for 3s attached to the enemy god, reducing their healing, or at a point on the ground. Martichoras can explode it by hitting it with a basic attack or ability. The explosion deals damage, reduces healing, and Roots the god who held the stinger. Notes:   Can deal up to 75/145/215/285/355 (+105% of your Physical Power) damage.   Also stops upon contact with a wall/player-made wall.   Projectile Damage: 45/80/115/150/185 (+55% of your Physical Power)   Explosion Damage: 30/65/100/135/170 (+50% of your Physical Power)   Root Duration: 1/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8s   Healing Reduction: 40% for 5s   Ability Type: Line, Root, Damage   Range/Radius: 55/20   Cost: 40/45/50/55/60 mana   Cooldown: 13 seconds Ability Video 3rd Ability - Stalk Prey Martichoras creates a patch of stealth grass in which he and all allied gods may hide. While inside and on exiting the patch, Martichoras gains Movement Speed. Martichoras’ Basic Attacks from stealth apply 8 stacks of Venom. Enemies may reveal anyone hidden in the patch by entering it or by placing a ward inside its range. Notes:   Buffs from multiple patches do not stack and re-entering a stealth patch refreshes the buff duration.   If a stealthed unit either enters a structure's attack range or uses abilities/basic attacks while invisible, they'll be revealed.   Attacking also breaks the stealth effect for 1s.   Patch Duration: 120s   Max Patches: 3   Movement Speed: 10/15/20/25/30% for 3s   Ability Type: Area, Buff   Range/Radius: 55/27   Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana   Cooldown: 25/24/23/22//21 seconds Ability Video Ultimate - Death from Above Martichoras becomes Crowd Control immune and untargetable as he soars into the air, raining down 12 bursts of damaging toxins over 3s.
