Turns a target unit into a harmless critter for 3.5 seconds. Instantly destroys illusions.
- Applies a Hex on the target, setting its base movement speed to 140 and silencing, muting and disarming it.
- Because hex changes base move speed and does not actually apply a slow, all speed effects are calculated using the 140 base speed.
- For example:
- a hexed unit with no speed bonuses has 140 move speed
- a hexed unit with +8% from Yasha has 151.2 move speed
- a hexed unit with +45 from Boots of Speed has 185 move speed
- a hexed unit with both Boots of Speed and Yasha has 199.8 move speed
- Hex instantly destroys illusions, but not summoned units.
- Scythe of Vyse hex transforms the target into a pig.

Trivia
- In the original DotA, this item was known as Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse, as a tribute to one of the developers of DotA: Allstars, who went on to co-create League of Legends.
- This item is known by many players (and referred to by several in-game Heroes) as "Sheepstick" due to turning targeted heroes into sheep in DotA. However, in Dota 2, targeted units turn into a pig.
- The item's name may be a reference to the Sega RPG Skies of Arcadia. The main character, Vyse, has been depicted weilding a scythe in early concept art.
