Pollywog Priest is a ranged intelligence hero in Heroes of Newerth. He is based on Shadow Shaman from Defense of the Ancients: All-Stars.

Info[ | ]

Lore: For centuries, every great Frog of the marsh peoples has wielded both political and magical power as the chief priest of the Wild Cults. Called upon by his Beast brethren in this time of war, the Pollywog Priest has come forth to use those powers in defense of his people and Newerth itself.
 
  The Pollywog Priest is a powerful support with two of the strongest single target disables in Morph and Tongue Tied. His Voodoo Wards are a vital tool for pushing towers, but can even be used to trap enemies.
