Inspired by the "Wobbling Runts" Hearthstone card, Sultan Oogah is three heroes in one. The player controls the Sultan, with two passive units in tow: the enigmatic Pygmy Shaman and the elusive Pygmy Thief. These three pile up into a Pygmy Totem, with Sultan Oogah at the top (naturally).
Above: Three Pygymies in a totem.
While in this configuration they are safe but ineffective - - the player only has access to the Sultan's Q ability. When their trait is activated the Pygmies split from their totem, unlocking the W and E abilities of the Shaman and Thief respectively. While separated these three hellions tear their foes asunder. But they must be careful. Should they need to return to the safety of the Pygmy Totem all living Pygmies must be within a small range of Sultan Oogah.
A few notes: - The player only controls Sultan Oogah. The positioning of the Shaman and Thief are controlled by AI and only respond when their ability is used.
- Only killing Sultan Oogah results in experience for the enemy team.
- If one of the passive Pygmies is killed, their respective ability is put on a full cooldown. They will revive when the ability is refreshed.
- Sultan Oogah and the Shaman have ranged basic attacks; the Thief is melee.
To be effective as Sultan Oogah the player must learn to manage the shifts between Stacked and Separate configurations. His kit is designed to have the passive units move away from him to use their abilities. Knowing when to spread out and when to regroup would be key.
Combat Trait
1
Pygmy Totem
Activate to toggle between Stacked/Separate configurations. 6 second cooldown.
While Stacked - Gain a shield equal to 35% of your maximum health. If this shield is destroyed your Pygmies separate.
While Separated - Gain access to the individual abilities of each Pygmy. Pygmies follow Sultan Oogah.
Pygmies must be nearby Sultan Oogah to re-enter Stacked configuration. Activating the Stack function of Pygmy Totem will call all Pygmies back to you.
Primary Abilities
1
Q - Oogah Axe
Throw an axe up into the air in an arc, landing at the target location after a brief delay and damaging enemies it hits. The axe will remain in place for 6 seconds, slowing enemies that move over it by 30% for 1.5 seconds.
9 second cooldown. 2 charges.
2
W - Oomlot Voodoo (Pygmy Shaman)
Empower your Oogah Axes that are embedded in the battlefield, causing them to fly back to Sultan Oogah after 0.75 seconds and healing him for each enemy hit.
Healing is doubled against enemy heroes.
9 second cooldown. Requires Separate configuration.
The voodoo energy of this ability is too powerful for the Pygmy Shaman to wield. As a result he is knocked back from his casting position as the axes return to Sultan Oogah.
3
E - Relic Thief (Pygmy Thief)
Cause your Pygmy Thief to enter stealth and gain 20% movement speed until he reaches the target enemy. Upon reaching his target he deals a burst of damage and stuns them for 1 second, after which he will return to Sultan Oogah.
If the Pygmy Thief stuns an enemy hero and returns to Sultan Oogah the player is rewarded a Relic.

Thanks! Mech skin would be cool. Could also just have a skin that swaps them for Grummles since they share a model in Wow.
