| Shadow Shaman quickly clears the way for his team's forces to march on the enemy base. Blasting enemies with Ether Shocks, interrupting attackers with Hexes, transforming his foe into a chicken, while locking down another with magical Shackles — but not before conjuring up powerful Mass Serpent Wards. Spitting fire in every direction, the Shadow Shaman's charmed snakes make short work of his disabled enemies. | |

Bio
[edit]I am the intermediary between life and death.▶️Rhasta, the Shadow Shaman
Aliases:
Rhasta, Shaman, SS
Lore:
Born in the Bleeding Hills, Rhasta was just a starving youngling when picked up by a travelling con-man. For two pins of copper, the old con-man would tell your fortune. For three, he'd castrate your pig, for five, he'd circumcise your sons. For a good meal, he'd don his shaman garb, read from his ancient books, and lay a curse upon your enemies. His strange new youngling, part hill troll, part…something else, worked as assistant and lent an air of the exotic to the con-man's trade.
Always one step ahead of cheated customers, one town ahead of a pursuing patronage, the two trekked across the blighted lands until one day the con-man realized that the little youngling could actually do what he only pretended at. His ward had a gift—a gift that customers valued. And so the youngling Rhasta was thrust before the crowds, and the trade-name Shadow Shaman was born. The two continued from town to town, conjuring for money as Shadow Shaman's reputation grew. Eventually, the pair's duplicitous past caught up with them, and they were ambushed by a mob of swindled ex-clients. The con-man was slain, and for the first time, Rhasta used his powers for darkness, massacring the attackers. He buried his beloved master, and now uses his powers to destroy any who would seek to do him harm.

Trivia
[edit]- The name Rhasta is based on the Rastafarians, a follower of a religious movement in Jamaica known as Rastafari.
- In DotA, his hero model and dialogue had a strong Jamaican influence and style. But in Dota 2, his theme and style have undertaken a more Native American influence, mostly evident in his attire and accent.
- Rhasta is also a Persian name and word that means "truth" or "path".
Lash of the Lizard Kin, may be a reference to "Pollywog Priest", who is Heroes of Newerth's direct port of Shadow Shaman. The Pollywog Priest is a frog-themed hero who, just like Shadow Shaman with the immortal, uses its tongue for its equivalent ability of Shackles (named "Tongue Tied"), instead of a magical net.- Some of Rhasta's voice lines may suggest he is well versed in the art of augury, an ancient form of divining the future. In some cultures, it is believed that reading the entrails of ritual sacrifice victims could predict the future.
- Warcraft 3 similarities:
- Shadow Shaman uses the model of the Shadow Hunters, a ranged Orc hero.
- Hex's original iteration was identical to the Shadow Hunter's Hex
- Mass Serpent Ward is inspired by the Shadow Hunter's Serpent Ward.
- Ether Shock's original iteration was identical to the Naga Sea Witch's Forked Lightning.
- Shackles's original iteration was identical to the Dragonhawk Riders' Aerial Shackles.
- Shadow Shaman uses the model of the Shadow Hunters, a ranged Orc hero.
