Hiding (also referred to as banishing) a unit causes it to temporarily disappear from the game.
Mechanics
Hide renders the unit unable to move, attack, cast abilities and items. All Hide sources also turn the affected unit invulnerable. Hidden units still gain ExperienceXP and Gold . While hidden, a unit cannot be affected by any abilities, with very few exceptions (e.g. Shadow Poison). For example, a Meat Hook would just fly through and possibly hit a unit behind the hidden unit.
