Meat Hook
Launches a bloody hook toward a unit or location. The hook will snag the first unit it encounters, dragging the unit back to Pudge, killing it if it's a non-ancient creep and dealing damage if it is an enemy otherwise.
Rot
A toxic cloud that deals intense damage and slows movement--harming not only enemy units but Pudge himself.
Meat Shield
Pudge covers himself with a layer of flesh that blocks damage of any type taken from any source.
Dismember
CHANNELED - Pudge chows down on an enemy unit, disabling it and dealing damage over time. Damage is increased by Pudge's Strength and heals him for the total amount. Pudge pulls the unit at a rate of 75 units, up to a minimum of 125 range.
