| Woken from the depth of the earth, Raigor Stonehoof shapes the battlefield with seismic force. With his long ranged Fissure, the Earthshaker creates impassable terrain where none existed before. Never afraid to be outnumbered, the Earthshaker turns the tables with a grand Echo Slam, demolishing entire armies in the process. Whatever survives his disruptive Aftershocks still has a mighty swing to look forward to, an Enchanted Totem with the power that demolishes mountains. | |

Bio[edit]
There may be many earths, but there's only one Earthshaker.▶️Raigor Stonehoof, the Earthshaker
Alias:
Raigor
Lore:
Like a golem or gargoyle, Earthshaker was one with the earth but now walks freely upon it. Unlike those other entities, he created himself through an act of will, and serves no other master. In restless slumbers, encased in a deep seam of stone, he became aware of the life drifting freely above him. He grew curious.
During a season of tremors, the peaks of Nishai shook themselves loose of avalanches, shifting the course of rivers and turning shallow valleys into bottomless chasms. When the land finally ceased quaking, Earthshaker stepped from the settling dust, tossing aside massive boulders as if throwing off a light blanket.
He had shaped himself in the image of a mortal beast, and named himself Raigor Stonehoof. He bleeds now, and breathes, and therefore he can die. But his spirit is still that of the earth; he carries its power in the magical totem that never leaves him. And on the day he returns to dust, the earth will greet him as a prodigal son.

Trivia[edit]
- His's response ▶️ "Chaos Dunk!" is a reference to the freeware RPG game "Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden".
- Earthshaker is possibly named after the weapon "Earthshaker" from World of Warcraft, known for its AoE stun.
- Like the parts of some Heroes' default cosmetics, Earthshaker's default Nishaian totem has a rune that resembles the Dota 2 logo, possibly symbolizing the war of the Ancients.
- ▶️ "The earth moves under my feet!" is likely a reference to Carole King's song - "I Feel the Earth Move", which is among the biggest mainstream pop hits of 1971.
- Earthshaker seems to have several voice lines that make references to vulgar slang, especially slang that pertains to sex.
- One of his rival voice lines towards Clockwerk, ▶️ "Clock-blocked!", comes from the slang term cockblock. To cock-block someone is to interfere with and prevent another from proceeding with their sexual activities.
- His voice line ▶️ "Did the earth move for you, too?" is a reference to the very same phrase that inquires about how one's sexual partner felt during coitus.
- The earth moving is a metaphor for the intensity of their sexual experience.
