Sand Wraith

Description

Legends long said that when the sirocco howls off the Great Waste, it is screaming of a Sand Wraith. In the past years, the legend has been borne out, as this ancient evil has glided through Newerth, leaving curses, confusion, and despair in his dusty wake.

Sand Wraith is helpless in the laning phase against proper harassment, so great care should be placed around his survival. A good babysitter support is vital to his ability to farm. Once he obtains survivability and damage through items, he is virtually unstoppable.
