| Deals damage over time with venomous attacks. | |
|---|---|
| Venomancer brings slow death to its enemies. It infects other living beings by its very Noxious Touch, and spewed Venomous Gales to slow and poison escaping prey. Part reptile and part orchid, it sprouts an endless army of toxin-spitting sentinels, the Plague Wards, to defend its perimeters with Acid Spit. Should foes draw near, they are sprayed with a massive, noxious Poison Nova, ensuring that even those who get away eventually succumb to the Venomancer's many Latent Toxins. | |

Bio[edit]
No necromancer shall raise what the venomancer puts down.▶️Lesale Deathbringer, the Venomancer
Alias:
Lesale
Lore:
In the Acid Jungles of Jidi Isle, poison runs in the veins and bubbles in the guts of every creature that scuttles, climbs or swoops between fluorescent vines dripping with caustic sap. Yet even in this toxic menagerie, Venomancer is acknowledged as the most venomous. Ages ago, an Herbalist named Lesale crossed the Bay of Fradj by coracle, searching for potent essences that might be extracted from bark and root, and found instead a nightmare transformation. Two leagues into Jidi's jungle, Lesale encountered a reptile camouflaged as an epiphyte, which stung him as he mistakenly plucked it. In desperation, he used his partial knowledge of the jungle's herbal bounty, mixing the venom of the (swiftly throttled) reptile with the nectar of an armored orchid, to compound an antidote. In the moments before a black paralysis claimed him completely, he injected himself by orchid-thorn, and instantly fell into a coma.
Seventeen years later, something stirred in the spot where he had fallen, throwing off the years' accumulation of humus: Venomancer. Lesale the Herbalist no longer—but Lesale the Deathbringer. His mind was all but erased, and his flesh had been consumed and replaced by a new type of matter—one fusing the venom of the reptile with the poisonous integument of the orchid. Jidi's Acid Jungles knew a new master, one before whom even the most vicious predators soon learned to bow or burrow for their lives. The lurid isle proved too confining, and some human hunger deep in the heart of the Venomancer drove Lesale out in search of new poisons—and new deaths to bring.

Trivia[edit]
- The name Lesale may be the romanized version of the Punjabi word "ਲੇਸਲੇ", which is pronounced lesale.
- The word roughly translates to "sticky", "adhesive", or "viscous", which would thematically fit to Venomancer.
- The name could also be derived from French "le sale", which translates to "the dirty" or "the nasty", which would fit Venomancer as well.
- Venomancer's attack response ▶️ "It's in my nature." is a reference to animal fable The Scorpion and the Frog.
- In the tale, the scorpion sits on a frog's back, that moves across a river, but the scorpion then stings the frog, drowing them both.
- When asked by the frog why he did that, the scorpion tells the frog that it's in his nature.
- Warcraft 3 similarities:
- Venomancer uses the model of the Hydralisk, a model that is only used during the end credits of Warcraft 3.
- Venomous Gale is inspired by the Warden's Shadow Strike.
- It's predecessor, Shadow Strike, was identical to the Warden's Shadow Strike.
- Poison Sting's original iteration was based on the Gnoll Assassins' Envenomed Weapons.
- Plague Ward's original iteration was based on the Shadow Hunter's Serpent Ward.
- Other Starcraft units that have models within Warcraft 3 are the Zerglings and the Marines.
