My KRV Villlains, Heroes and Towers

[NastyBird339]

Figured I'd take a crack at making some heroes n stuff. Any feedback is appreciated, especially from the pros who have been doin this stuff for a long time.

Villains

Hu-Hu Enha the Brutalizer

Inspiration:The primary inspiration for Hu-Hu was DnD gnolls, specifically Yeenoghu, one of the demonic entities in the DnD universe. I then looked at gnolls from KR for inspiration for some of the skills and design elements. Finally I did some research on real life hyenas to see if I could integrate any behavioral habits into the Villain itself.

After Hi-Hi Enha was slain, the gnolls tribes were hunted down and driven out. Since then Vez'nan has approached them with the offer of revenge and many of the gnolls agreed to assist in his conquest. One such gnoll was Hu-Hu Enha, the younger, far more vicious brother of Hi-Hi Enha. Yet do not mistake his motivation for vengeance. He is here for blood and blood alone.

Appearance: Hu-Hu bears resemblance to your typical gnoll, having yellowish fur, with red eyes and an orange mane. He is roughly the same size of a gnoll gnawer and has a chest plate made of bones with two iron spikes on the shoulders. He wields a large cleaver with jagged edges designed to rip and tear flesh and pouch of fire bombs.(Like the Saw Cleaver form Bloodborne but with a smaller handle). His armor is battle worn and he has several scars all over his body.

Quotes:
Hu-Hu speaks with a deep growly voice, and mixes yips and snarls in between his words.

"I order my meals to go"(When he uses Rampaging Rush)(Reference to Lion King)
*Howls*
"I ain't no Regular Gnoll"(Reference to Critical Role)
"*Yips and Snarls* Oh pardon my language"
(Death): It was the Lion's Fault(Reference to the Lion King)

Quick Update
Made my first hero(Figured it would make no sense to just disregard any good guys just because we focus on the bad guys for this game.) He may seem familiar because A) He is very much inspired by Anti- Mage from Dota 2. B) I revamped him from an old thread of mine and changed a few things.

I like the Gnoll very much. Very atmospheric hero (villain?) with interesting concepts and skills. His abilities are all unique too! My only concern is that Corpse Feeder would be overwhelming if used on a high HP enemy but I think it won’t be too much an issue. Very nice hero!

[NastyBird339]

Added a new tower based on the Redcap gnomes

[NastyBird339]

Update!
did a bit of mild tweaking with the Redcaps

Recap tower is sick. (Like Awesome) I would use it all the time. The abilities are great. Though I think towers only have three but what ever. Great Tower!

Inciting Howl should last longer maybe 15s. Also I agree about corpse feeder. I love the name and backstory.
Great work on a great hero(villian).
