This version of Mal'Ganis is based on the various Dreadlords and their abilities who have appeared in Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft, with a little bit of WoW: Burning Crusade shadow priest mechanics splashed in to make him more interesting and original compared to other heroes (using his health as a resource to deal increased damage at increased risk to personal health).
