Burrower
By Aixu

http://www.rotg.co.uk/images/btnherocryptlord.jpgBurrowers are much alike enormous beetles that live deep underground, covered in a tough chitinous exoskeleton, sporting a huge pair of crushing claws and a mighty horn atop their heads burrowers make fearsome opponents when aroused.
Burrowers spend most of their lives buried underground waiting for prey to pass overhead at which point they smash up through the ground with astounding force, impaling the target on their oversized horn.
Burrowers are highly evolved predators that can spin huge webs and have a very fast breeding cycle with one individual carrying hundreds of eggs.

All Burrowers can tunnel underground surviving there for years at a time. Burrowers often attack thier enemies from underneath smashing up through the earth with terrible force.
Causes the Burrower to tunnel underground, disabling its main attack and abilities but giving it a improved health regeneration, armour, invisability at higher levels and a deadly impaling attack instead.

Burrowers have an extremely fast breeding cycle and can lay hundreds of eggs a year.
Creates a 500 hitpoint eggsack which hatches out into smaller Burrowers creating one Burrower Spawn every 5 seconds.

http://www.rotg.co.uk/images/btnearthquake.jpgQuicksand
Burrowers use a residual slime to dissolve rocks and other obstacles.
A large amount of this slime can cause the ground to become sludge like and act like quicksand.
Creates a dangerous vortex of quicksand around the Burrower that sucks enemies within 300 range into the centre of this vortex disabling thier movement and attacks while draining their hitpoints.

http://www.rotg.co.uk/images/BTNVolcano.JPGEarthquake
Burrowers have formidable strength that can hurl rocks and boulders aside, causing mighty earthquakes as they smash and dig at the ground.
Earthquake is a channelling ability that creates a mighty earthquake that lasts 10 seconds and deals damage and slows all units by 50% within a 512 radius around the Burrower.
Enemy units within 256 radius of the Burrower will take additional damage while Earthquake is active.

Skill Build
Level 1= Quicksand
Level 2= Burrow
Level 3= Quicksand
Level 4= Burrow
Level 5= Quicksand
Level 6= Earthquake
Level 7= Quicksand
Level 8= Burrow
Level 9= Burrow
Level 10= Divine Blessing
Level 11= Divine Blessing
Level 12= Earthquake
Level 13~17= Divine Blessing
Level 18= Earthquake
Level 19~21= Divine Blessing
Level 22~25= Spawn Burrowers


Skill Build Justification
Quicksand is our main nuke next to Earthquake, Burrow is for regeneration and element of suprise, and I don't think the little Burrowers are of any use so I don't get them 'till the end.


Item Build
Final Items
Hydra Blade - Lifesteal Enchanted
Amulet of Power
Moonglade Armour - Armour Enchanted
Waterwalk Boots
The Black Hand
Titan Orb (Optional)


Final Items Justification
Lifesteal is for surviving ofcourse, you're a tank after all. Amulet for the extra mana and nuke, Moonglade over any other armour because Barogolth is a very slow hero so he needs the extra movement speed. Rest speaks for itself.

Item Order
1. Spiked Flail. (700 gold)
2. Boots of Speed. (350 gold + 20 wood)
3. Hydra Blade and Enchant it. (4000 gold + 370 wood)
4. Amulet of Power. (3000 gold + 200 wood)
5. Moonglade Armour and Enchant it. (1950 gold + 100 wood)
6. The Black Hand. (1000 gold)
7. Waterwalk Boots. (2000 gold + 150 wood)


Your purpose
Burrow yourself when you see a enemy coming for the element of suprise ( Or not, up to you) Then nuke his butt, and cast Amulet when/if he runs, then chase with your slow beetle legs!

Gameplay
Coming Up!

That's All folks!

You know, being a front line meele means your channeling spell will get own, therefor, I don't find Earthquake useful unless their low on HP (to slow while mages/ranger nuke them to death,since they are low on HP, they won't stay around to stun)

BKB is short for Black King Bar which is a DotA-item (Yes I am a dota-player so gotta know these things lol) it makes you able to cast Avatar thus no stuns / magic damage

never heard it, too much item in dota to remember it all, and I think those spellshatter armor will hold a stun or 2.
