Lore

Slardar guards the sunken cities and their hoarded riches, a Slithereen of immense power forged by a lifetime under crushing ocean pressure. In the pitch-black abysses, he patrols the secret vaults, watching for thieves sent down by covetous dryland sorcerers. Despite the pain the brightness brings him, he rises to the shallows to scout for conspiracies against the depths—and to hunt the rare few who manage to snatch a prize from the Sunken Treasury. He is utterly loyal, and his quiet demeanor hides deep knowledge of the sea's most secret places.

No Target / Instant Cast

Slardar slithers ahead, moving significantly faster and passing through units. Slardar has 100% slow resistance for the first 2.5s. The slow resistance gradually fades over the remaining sprint duration.

As Slardar has made the transition from the Deeps, it has been necessary to use his powerful tail for sprinting instead of swimming.
