A warrior Hero, adept at summoning insect minions and crushing enemies. Betraying the Nerubian people, the Crypt Lords have sacrificed the lifeblood of thousands to bolster the Undead armies of Ner'zhul, winning an eternal life of servitude in his name. Attacks land units.

Crypt Lords are relatively weak early in the game because of a small mana pool and poor armor, but in the late game, they are very durable and good tanker heroes when compared to other heroes.
