The big cheese, the head rat, the be-candled King of the Kobolds
"We be taking this now! Is Kobold Way!"
Bio:
As the King of Kobolds - Togwaggle is a crafty creature who excels at at not only getting things done; But getting them done the Kobold way. While not much is known about Togwaggle, he is known to lead a large group of Kobolds which among their ranks - Have mighty Waxmancers that hold the powers of creating "living" beings out of wax from candles. What Togwaggle and his group of Kobolds usually tend to is also on the unknown side of things; They do have a large mine / dungeon under their control currently in which they currently are expanding their tunnels deeper and deeper in order to find treasures and long lost artifacts. Among the artifacts found in this cave is Togwaggle's weapon of choice; a "Regal Shovel" - He also wears a crown which operates like a lantern instead of the usual candle that Kobolds uses and within this lantern; the fire elemental named Rakanishu is contained. This lantern however is not an artifact which was found within the caverns but was apparently instead gifted too him by the one and only Arch-Theif Rafaam: Which when having this knowledge - Only caused for it to make more sense as to why Togwaggle banded together with Rafaam and other villains to form the League of E.V.I.L.
As where it's unknown currently if Togwaggle and the League of E.V.I.L triumphed in Dalaran: Something of note must have happened as the lord of the Nexus decided to call upon Togwaggle and has now brought him to the fields of battle.

D - Rakanishu's flame

Causing them to tak an additional 100 (+ 4% per level) damage over 4 seconds. This damage is increased by 300% VS Structures, Minions, Mercenaries and Monsters.

Primary Abilities

Q - Greedy Pickaxe Swing
Swing the Greedy Pickaxe infront of you - Causing 145 (+ 4% per level) damage to all hostile units hit in it's cone. This ability will also steal 25 Mana (+ 4% per level) if it hits an enemy hero. For each enemy hero hit by the swing, an additional 5 (+ 4% per level) mana will be stolen from each hero. All mana stolen is given to Togwaggle.
Mana: 60 Cooldown: 8 Seconds.

W - Kobold Tunnel
Dig a tunnel from Togwaggle's current position to a select location which takes 2 seconds for Togwaggle to dig. Once the tunnel is complete, Togwaggle and his allies can use the tunnel to transport themselves between the entrances of the tunnel. Traversing the tunnel takes 1 seconds.
Togwaggle instantly submerges when he begins creating the tunnel, cleansing hims of hostile damage over time effects and making him immune until he emerges from digging the tunnel. Allies who use the tunnel will become temporarily immune to damage when submerged but unlike Togwaggle: Won't cleanse themselves of damaging effects. Togwaggle only clears himself of negative effect when he submerges to create the tunnel; not on subsequent uses of the finished tunnel.
The tunnel lasts for 10 seconds and the entrances to the tunnels can be destroyed by 15 hostile hero basic attacks. Should both entrances collapse when heroes are within the tunnel, they will be instantly spat out by the entrance that was destroyed last.
Entering one of the tunnel entrances is instant. Should any allied hero be within the tunnel when it expires: They will be spat out at whichever side they were traversing toward when the tunnel collapses.
Mana: 80 Cooldown: 20 Seconds.

E - Scroll of Confusion
After reading from the Scroll which takes 1 second: Confuse all nearby hostile units, causing for:

All hostile non-boss mercenaries to begin attacking each other for 7 seconds.
All hostile heroes to have their own team be hostile for 2 seconds.
Mana: 65 Cooldown: 10 Seconds.
Secondary Abilities
1
1 - Spark of Rakanishu
Place a candle on top of an allied heroes head or mount it alongside some terrain. The candle will grant sight radius around itself equal to half of Togwaggle's trait increased sight radius. The flame of the candle is linked too Rakanishu and as such; is magically enhanced and will not alert hostile heroes of that they are within sight radius with exception of stealthed units.
A candle placed on a allied hero lasts for 30 seconds while a candle mounted into terrain lasts until it has sustained 2 basic attacks.
Maximum 4 Candles can be active at one time. Placing a 5'th Candle will remove the first one.
Mana: 0 Cooldown: 1 Second between each active candle. Each candle has a 20 second recharge rate.
Heroic Abilities
1
R - Embers of Rakanishu
Rakanishu concentrates his powers and ignites all active candles and himself: Causing the candles and Togwaggle to randomly fire off burning embers within their sight radius that actively rains down within their designated area for 10 seconds.
The burning embers will ignite any structures hit with the same de-buff that Togwaggle's trait does. Any hostile minions hit by these embers instantly dies and any hostile hero hit will take 90 (+ 4% per level) damage and have the burning de-buff applied to them. This de-buff will however deal strong enough ticks of damage that it will interrupt casts and channels that normally is interrupted by damage.
Hostile heroes will not be alerted to the Candles position while this is active as the embers does not "spout out" from the Candles but simply rains down in an area around them.
Mana: 95 Cooldown: 100 Seconds.

R - We be taking this now!
Togwaggle selects a enemy fort or keep within melee range and begins to slowly borrow his way around it's foundation - a process which takes 15 seconds, and while burrowing around the structure; Togwaggle is immune to structure damage and will be ignored by minions and mercenaries. Togwaggle is still attack-able by hostile heroes and can be killed within the 15 second timer which will cancel the process.
Should Togwaggle complete the burrow; the entire fort or keep will become submerged under the ground and vanishes from the map. Doing this does not award experience for removing the structure but does give catapult advantages.
A keep can only be selected by this ability if the fort in the same lane is gone.
Should Togwaggle successfully submerge a hostile structure while having a structure of his own lost - He can cast this ability at the place where his ruined fort or keep is in order to raise the structure "stolen" from the enemy team in a new location; doing this converts the structure to Togwaggle's team's side.
The process to raise a stole structure is the same as stealing one and can thus be canceled: If a fort is raised where one already was destroyed; it will turn off the enemy team's catapult advantage. A stolen fort can not be raised within a lane which has a keep lost.
Only one structure can be considered "stolen" at a time and the most recent one will be the one that Togwaggle can re-emerge as his own.
Togwaggle can do this to place a Keep in a Fort's possition but only if both the fort and the keep in the respective lane already is destroyed.
Mana: 120 Cooldown: 120 Seconds.

Skin suggestions
Togwaggle sports his basic appearance like this:
And due to the recent Hearthstone expansion - He would of course need a skin which makes him look like Heistbaron version.
I could not find any good images of it but Kobolds back in Warcraft 3 (Some of them at least) had a "skull like" aesthetic too them - I figured some variant like that; an "undead" sort of version of Togwaggle could be cool as I find the lack of "Skull" themed skins in Hots to be a bit meh.
Other concepts & more
I will list here once more of my concepts is made. Some of these concepts may also look familiar but that is because I am also "Rexx" whom has posted some hero concepts on the EU and US side forums for Heroes of the Storm.
This Togwaggle concept was started during late March 2019 and finished during the mid of April 2019.
Other hero concepts I have made: (Please take note of their "Numbers" - The lower the number the older the concepts and thus; They are worse and may by now lack images as a result of broken links - I plan to re-visit them in the future and update them)
