Dota 2 Lore - Pudge:
In the Fields of Endless Carnage, far to the south of Quoidge, a corpulent figure works tirelessly through the night--dismembering, disembowelling, piling up the limbs and viscera of the Fallen that the battlefield might be clear by dawn. In this cursed realm, nothing can decay or decompose; no corpse may ever return to the earth from which it sprang, no matter how deep you dig the grave. Flocked by carrion birds who need him to cut their meals into beak-sized chunks, the Butcher hones his skills with blades that grow sharper the longer he uses them. Swish, swish, thunk. Flesh falls from the bone; tendons and ligaments part like wet paper. And while he always had a taste for the butchery, over the ages, Pudge has developed a taste for its byproduct as well. Starting with a gobbet of muscle here, a sip of blood there...before long he was thrusting his jaws deep into the toughest of torsos, like a dog gnawing at rags. Even those who are beyond fearing the Reaper, fear the Butcher.

Pudge launches a bloody hook at a unit or location. The hook will snag the first target it encounters, dealing damage as it drags the helpless victim back to Pudge.

Pudge chows down on an enemy, doing damage over time. Lasts 3 seconds.
With Aghanim's Scepter: Adds a 75 percent strength-based damage bonus and heals Pudge equal to the damage dealt by Dismember.
