Subterranean Terror is an insectoid melee strength hero that forces the enemy team to flush her out or slowly lose control over the map. She can create a large tunnel network that allows her to quickly travel all cross the map. In key location she can create ambush zones where she can stun and inject damaging venom with her attacks.

After a short delay Subterranean Terror creates a Sinkhole at a targeted location. Enemies inside the Sinkhole are pulled towards the center. Enemies in the center are rooted and take damage for as long as they remain there. Rooted enemies may still attack. -The center of the Sinkhole can be force staffed over or out of. For the duration of force staff enemies are not pulled by the Sinkhole.

CHANNELING --- Subterranean Terror begins construction on an underground tunnel. Once the tunnel is completed it is part of a network of all tunnels that Subterranean Terror has created. Subterranean Terror may interact with any of her tunnels, entering them and becoming untargetable. There is a short delay before she can enter the tunnel. Only stuns and roots can prevent her from entering a tunnel. Once inside a tunnel Subterranean Terror has 5 seconds to choose any of her other tunnels to exit from. If this is not done in time then Subterranean Terror will be ejected at the last tunnel she entered. Tunnels are immobile and require 4 hit to be destroyed by enemy heroes to twice as much by enemy creeps and otherwise have an indefinite duration. They're invisible to the enemy team unless a hero or unit controlled by the enemy team comes within a 250 unit radius of the tunnel. Tunnels also grant vision to Subterranean Terror's team in a 250 unit radius. Tunnels regenerate 1 HP every second if they haven't been attacked for 10 seconds. If all tunnels are destroyed when Subterranean Terror is inside the tunnels she'll be ejected at the last tunnel she entered and stunned. -The tunnels have a sub ability that will allow Subterranean Terror to selectively destroy a tunnel.

Subterranean Terror loosens the ground in an area around her and digs in. In the loosened ground she gains bonus movement speed, free pathing, and invisibility. While invisible her next attack will trigger a channel where she pins her target in place, stunning them, while injecting them with high damaging venom. The venom duration scales with the channel time. Subterranean Terror may enter invisibility again if she remains in the loose ground after a while of not attacking. Casting spells does not influence the delay time or break her invisibility for that matter. -Loose ground is not visible to the enemy team. -Ambush stun pierces BKB, venom damage does not.

Terror nest

TYPE active

DAMAGE none

TARGET MODE none

CHANNELING --- Subterranean Terror creates an immobile nest for and lays eggs in it. After 1 minute of incubation the young will begin to hatch. Subterranean Terror young are uncontrollable and will roam around the nest for a while attacking all enemies in the vicinity. After two more minutes the young will mature, gaining bonus stats. Mature young will head towards the nearest lane and start pushing it. Prioritizing enemy lane creeps. kills made by her young will earn gold for Subterranean Terror. Immature young are ranged and their attacks apply a magic damage poison. This debuff stacks, but new stacks do not refresh the duration. Mature young are melee, they have lost their poison but in return are much more durable, deal more damage, and are faster. The nest itself can be destroyed by enemy heroes. The nest has a large HP pool and is immune to spells and magic damage. The nest has a large gold bounty. Terror young do not have a gold bounty. -When the nest dies the remaining young will continue their regular behavior. -The nest has an indefinite duration. Two nests may exist at once. Casting Terror Nest while two nests already exist will destroy the oldest nest and all associated young. -Damaged nests will regenerate 50 HP per second if they haven't been attacked for 60 seconds. -Cannot be placed in the Roshan pit. Cannot be placed on cliff locations. -Mature young die after 60 seconds. This limits the effectiveness of nests built in Radiant or Dire base.
