Hogger

The Scourge of Elwynn

My other concepts:

Varok Saurfang - Melee Warrior

Hogger is a name that strikes fear in the hearts of adventurers, far and wide in the realm of Azeroth! Well, maybe not SO far and SO wide, but in the Scourge of Elwynn has terrorized the surrounding countryside with impunity for as long as the local villagers can remember. The chieftain of the Riverpaw pack, Hogger leads a group of the most dangerous gnolls around.

Hogger is a warrior who uses his trait, Goon Squad, as a tool to initiate and provide crowd control. Goon Squad builds stacks when Hogger targets an enemy hero with an ability, and can be used call a Gnoll Goon to attack and slow an enemy hero.

Hogger functions as a main tank and does well against compositions built around spell casters. While auto-attack oriented heroes can focus down his Goons without too much trouble, spell casters either need to use their long cooldown abilities or suffer some damage to from the attacking Goon.
