Larry the Larva will be a unique hero utilizing the Zerg's ability to evolve on the battlefield.
He will also be extremely squishy like Murky, if not squishier.

Stats for Larva:

- Low Health
- Low Damage
- High HP regen
- High Speed
- Will use DNA instead of mana. DNA is obtained by being near enemies that die. Max. 100DNA

Abilities:

Passive: Parasitic Reproduction

Larry uses DNA instead of mana, DNA is obtained by being close to units when they die.
Minions - 5 DNA
Heroes - 15 DNA

If Larry has above 50 DNA and is killed he will split into 2 Larry. Each Larva can be controlled individually and the player can activate his/her passive by pressing D to select all current larva. Larva amounts are limited by the number of Spawn More Overlords! overlords

If an overlord is killed, the 2 most recently spawned larva will die.
Max. 2 Larva/Zerg unit per overlord

Notes: Larry uses a different resource like Sonya, and in addition he has quite an interesting ability to split into 2 more when he dies, allowing him to build his army. Larry will have lower damage than other heroes, even on his abilities. This lowered damage is just to prevent him from being absolutely overpowered. Also keep in mind it will not be that easy to split into a huge group fast, as you will have to gather DNA - Die - Escape with 2 larva and repeat...

Ability 1: Spawn More Overlords!
DNA Cost - 25


The selected Larry will evolve into an overlord after a short channel time, gaining increased vision and high health, but losing half of his speed and damage.

Overlords will allow for 2 more larva and will not count toward the larva count.
Overlords will also grant 1(+1 per Larry) DNA per second to all other Larry

If the selected Larry has above 50 DNA, it is consumed and he will evolve into a Overseer instead, being able to move at normal speed and see even farther.



Ability 2: Zerg Rush
DNA Cost - 50

The Selected Larry transforms into a small group of Zerglings (that are controlled together as one unit)after a short channel time.
gaining high attack speed, higher damage and low HP regen

If the selected Larry has above 50 DNA, it is consumed and roachlings are spawned instead that have slightly more Health and HP regen



Ability 3: Baneling Bust
DNA Cost - 50

The selected Larry transforms into a large Baneling after a short channel time and launches toward the target area, dealing high damage and greatly increased damage to structures. When this happens the Larva will die, not be able to split but will give all other Larva +5 DNA for each target hit.

If the selected Larry has more than 50 DNA he will leave a pool of acid on his point of impact after launching dealing 50% damage over time.

Heroic Abilities

Morph Spawning Pool
DNA Cost - 25
The Selected Larry transforms into a spawning pool. The spawning pool will automatically generate a third Larva every time one dies. Lasts 30/60 seconds (not sure yet)


Biological Fortifications
DNA Cost - 25

The selected Larry can be sacrificed to heal the target building fully over a long time and giving it increased damage. The building gains a living shield while it is being healed, if the shield is broken the healing will cease. While the building is fortified it will also regenerate ammo twice as fast.

GiGGa's opinion:

I've experienced HotS as one of the most creative Moba like games when it comes to their heroes. I love the idea of murky, vikings and abathur and with a few hours put into starcraft I personally would love to see/test Larry.

Okay at first I thought "this sounds a bit OP"... but then I realised that Larry is being limited a lot by his DNA system. He needs to be near for 10 creep deaths before he can split, and he is only really strong when he has a army of Larry.

The idea is basically to create your own Zerg army on the map, being able to contribute to teamfights with your huge AOE damage banelings, chase down heroes with your zerg rush and act as a support providing vision by hiding overlords in critical spots across the map. Larry also has the ability to provide defence with his biological fortifications, or an endless wave of Larry with his spawning pool.

This hero will require quite a lot of skill to play optimally but if a player masters him he will be devastating.


Please Note : Larry and his summons will have quite low stats and not be so hard to kill, but Larry will also only grant xp if he has below 50 DNA and is unable to split, and will still only provide half the XP the enemy would get for the kill
