Blizzard has revealed the latest character to join the Heroes of the Storm roster. It's the ghastly abomination from Warcraft known as Stitches, who brings his welded body parts and his sharp axe in as a melee Warrior.

Stitches' abilities include the Scorpion-like Hook attack, which pulls targets towards him. The Slam ability will damage foes directly in front of Stitches, while Devour will vampirically damage an enemy and restore health. Stitches' main trait is Vile Gas, which spews out a toxic cloud whenever he's struck by enemies. Heroic Abilities include Putrid Bile, which can slow down and damage all foes near Stitches, and Gorge, an attack that sees the monstrosity literally swallow an enemy for a short time.

For more on the hideous Stitches, check out the Heroes of the Storm website and watch the trailer below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
