Template:Tabs Underlord

Vrogros the Underlord is a commanding support whose presence is crucial to his team's success. With his long-lasting abilities, Underlord is able to control wide areas of the battlefield during teamfights. Raining down damage with Firestorm, he clears out creeps and discourage enemies from approaching. With his Dark Rift, he can teleport his entire team across the map, taking enemies by surprise, and pushing in lanes while the other team is dead or out of position. Enemies' base attack is reduced around Underlord by his Atrophy Aura, making Underlord more durable than most supports, and helping his team survive longer in fights. At the same time, Atrophy Aura allows him to accumulate damage from the deaths of nearby enemies, temporarily giving him high physical damage. One of the best area disables in the game, Pit of Malice presents a very large obstacle for enemies, especially melee attackers. With it, Underlord can catch and trap numerous opponents, making him a potent and dangerous opponent in any teamfight.

Bio

Vrogros, the Underlord

""

Lore:

Neither myth nor song exist to tell of their coming. Deep below the surface of the world, in the obsidian city of Aziyog, the abyssal hordes of Vrogros the Underlord beat the drums of war. Armed by the monstrous forgemasters of his kind and well-practiced in the arts of the Dark Rift, Vrogros is able to conjure forth flame and crippling malice through the twist between worlds, destroying or enslaving all he encounters. By his command the first waves of abyssal invaders have already marched through the rift, a few doomed legions meant merely to test the might of nations above. Now, as his full force readies itself for unending conquest, the Underlord himself steps into a sunlit world to announce his coming reign.

Trivia

Vrogros, the Underlord is named "Azgalor, the Pit Lord" in DotA.^[1].
- His title, Pit Lord, was changed to avoid possible copyright infringements with Template:W, since the Pit Lords are a race of demons in the Template:W universe.^[2]
- His name, Azgalor, was also changed for the same reason. Azgalor was a character from the Warcraft universe as well, who served one of the main antagonists of the Warcraft universe as a well known commander.^[3]
- According to the Bastion Announcer, ▶️ "Pyre Lord" was also a proposed name for Underlord.
- Up until the June 23, 2016 Patch, Underlord's title was "Abyssal Underlord". While the rationale of dropping "Abyssal" is unclear, it may have been to prevent confusion with the shorthand terminology of Abyssal Blade.
Underlord has been in work since the year 2012. Back then, he already had a beta model, placeholder ability icons and fully finished and working abilities. He could also be spawned in lobbies with cheats enabled for a short while before it was disabled.
- This suggests that his release was originally planned much earlier (as a comparison, all other heroes were released shortly after their files were added to the game), but was delayed for reasons unknown.
Before his release, Underlord was showcased at the All-Star match of The International 2016, played by N0tail. He originally picked Sand King, but a bit after the start of the game, his pick was replaced by SirActionSlacks.
