Treant Protector — hero grid for mains

Every Dota client, Russian included, shows the name Treant Protector. Internally, in the game files, Treant Protector is “treant” — search on the site finds the hero by it as well. On Russian servers you will hear “Треант Протектор” (or “треант”, “дерево” and “трент”).

Valve sums the hero up in one line: “Calls upon the forest to root his foes”.

In the editor's hero picker, typing “Treant Protector” or “Треант Протектор” or “treant” brings up Treant Protector.
