Once a hound keeper in the underworld, War Beast heeded the call to arms in order to feed the victims of Newerth to his pets. War Beast's allegiance was never questioned. His hunger for carnage remains unending, feeding the animal within.
The War Beast is relegated to killing neutrals with Hellhounds from the onset of the game. However, once he has reached a reasonable level of power, he can easily solo-kill Kongor and push down towers with a combination of Hellhounds and Puzzlebox.
