Ghom

'Ghom is the largest of Azmodan's Sin Lieutenants, and he possesses no less than four mouths. Though his voracious appetite is certainly his greatest weapon, his bile and... well... other noxious excretions are equally lethal. When last seen in battle, the Lord of Gluttony swallowed half a dozen angels whole. Spears and all.'
- Deckard Cain

Ghom, a sizeable melee warrior with the largest health pool in the game, is the definition of a 'meat shield'. He is able to soak up massive amounts of damage and use his wide hitbox to body block enemy heroes, preventing them from escaping from his team. Success with Ghom would hinge on two major factors: the use of his defensive ability "Wall Of Flesh" to cap the amount of damage that percentage health based abilities can deal to him, and his trait, Gluttony. Like Ghom the player would have an endless appetite, greedily searching for delicious Regeneration Globes to slurp down their gullet.

So by the late game he puts Muradin to shame with his crazy regen? Also a bit confused on his Q is the enemy eaten then passed out the other end of Ghom? If so that's just disgusting.

I think he means that he can't move but can rotate while he's holding him, so he can turn around and throw him behind him or to the side, he kind of decides where to let him go in the radius around him. Well at least that's what i got.

I think my favorite thing about your Ghom concept is how ridiculously different it is from mine. Very creative concept.
