Pudge Lore & Background Story
The Butcher roams the Fields of Endless Carnage, stitching together flesh from the fallen to build his grotesque form. Every hook he throws drags another victim into his collection. Pudge feels no pain, only an insatiable appetite — and the battlefield always provides a feast. His grim harvest feeds the same cycle of decay that empowers Undying, whose tombstone raises what the Butcher leaves behind.
