| Can imprison a hero, making them invulnerable. | |
|---|---|
| Wary of the happenings near the central sun, Harbinger departs from his vigil to take his place on the plains of war. The Outworld Destroyer creates an Essence Flux, balancing the tides of mana between him and his opponents. Stealing from the minds of those in his Astral Imprisonment, Outworld Destroyer turns raw intelligence into destructive power. Weakening enemies with a barrage of Arcane Energy glowing spheres that permeates any shield. Looming above his enemies, he drops the proverbial hammer, extinguishing the unenlightened with the cosmic force of Sanity's Eclipse. | |

Bio[edit]
Their sanity I'll shatter; their dreams of conquest I'll destroy.Outworld Destroyer
Aliases:
OD, Harbringer
Lore:
One of a lordly and magisterial race, Harbinger prowls the edge of the Void, sole surviving sentry of an outpost on the world at the rim of the abyss. From this jagged crystalline Outworld, forever on guard, he has gazed for eternities into the heavens, alert for any stirring in the bottomless night beyond the stars. Imprinted deep in the shining lattices of his intellect lies a resonant pattern akin to prophecy, a dark music implying that eventually some evil will wake out there, beyond the edges of creation, and turn its attention to our world. With his whole being focused on his vigil, Outworld Destroyer paid little attention to events closer in to the sun. But at last the clamor of the Ancients, and a sense of growing threat from within as well as without, sent him winging sunward to visit the plains of war. Harbinger's place in our own prophecies is unambiguous: he must be considered an omen of worse things to come. But his arrival in itself is bad enough.

Trivia[edit]
- Outworld Destroyer was originally called "Obsidian Destroyer" in DotA. Obsidian Destroyer was based on two units in "Warcraft III: Frozen Throne"; the Obsidian Statue, and its alternate form, the Destroyer.
- Outworld Destroyer was originally added to Dota 2 with his current name, but was changed to "Outworld Demolisher" before the patch left the Test Client. However, due to community outcry, it was changed to "Outworld Devourer" as he arrived on the Main Client. This name was used up until 7.28, where it was changed again to the original Dota 2 iteration of "Outworld Destroyer".
- Due to the many name changes Outworld Destroyer went through, he gained many humorous community names such as "Outworld Developer", "Outsourced Developer" and "Outhouse Decorator".
- As a nod to this, the in-game info box for Outworld Destroyer's innate ability displays a different ability name each time it is shown in the Loadout screen. Possible names include "Obnoxious Determinator", "Obsequious Deliberator", "Ornery Deconstructor", and "Omniscient Desiderator".
- Outworld Destroyer has lines for carrying two, three or even four Aghanim's Scepter. The reason for this is because in Dota 1 early development Aghanim's Scepter was made using Mystic Staff and Soul Booster giving 500 mana and 30 intelligence, which helped Outworld Destroyer tremendously.
