Slark, the Nightcrawler

Recommended Roles

Carry

Escape

Disabler

Nuker

Little known to the inhabitants of the dry world, Dark Reef is a sunken prison where the worst of the sea-bred are sent for crimes against their fellows. It is a razor barbed warren full of murderous slithereen, treacherous Deep Ones, sociopathic meranths. In this dim labyrinth, patrolled by eels and guarded by enormous anemones, only the vicious survive. Pitched into Dark Reef for crimes unknown, Slark spent half a lifetime without kin or kindness, trusting no one, surviving through a combination of stealth and ruthlessness, keeping his thoughts and his plans to himself. When the infamous Dark Reef Dozen plotted their ill-fated breakout, they kept their plans a perfect secret, murdering anyone who could have put the pieces together—but somehow Slark discovered their scheme and made a place for himself in it. Ten of the Dozen died in the escape attempt, and two were captured, hauled back to Dark Reef, then executed for the entertainment of their fellow inmates. But Slark, the unsung thirteenth, used the commotion as cover and slipped away, never to be caught. Now a furtive resident of the carnivorous mangrove scrub that grips the southern reach of Shadeshore, Slark remains the only successful escapee from Dark Reef.

Pouncing into danger then slipping back out is what Slark does best. He rushes at the chance to pin or corner a lone foe, steals their essence with each cut from his dagger, and is always ready to vanish should the tables turn.

Time in the Dark Reef made Slark a dangerous assassin; aggressive and fearless.

Notes

On cast, Slark leaps forward at a speed of 933, stopping early if he latches onto an enemy unit in a 95 radius along the 700 distance.
Moving more than 100 distance away in less than 0.03 seconds will break the leash.
Trees are destroyed in a 200×200 rectangle around Slark's landing area.
Blink, teleport, or other movement abilities cannot break the leash.
[[File:|40px|link=Force| ]] can break the leash.
Scepter also doubles the speed.

The hidden Thirteenth is a slippery foe.

Notes

When cast, the Slark becomes invisible for 4 seconds, this invisibility is not broken by casting abilities, using items, or attacking. True Sight from any source does not reveal him either.
While invisible from this ability's active effect, a visible dark cloud effect is shown at Slark's position.
If Slark is damaged by a neutral creep, the passive effect is disabled for 2 seconds.
