Heroes of Newerth Hero: Pandamonium

The fan-favorite HoN Panda is here!

They're cute, cuddly and deadly.
Heroes of Newerth is proud to present to you, Pandamonium - a new breed of hero.

The last of a race of warrior-monks sworn to a chaste existence in the misty Sang-La mountains, Pandamonium has left his bamboo groves for the battlefield. He moves with a grace that belies his great stature and strikes with fury surprising in one with such an apparently gentle nature. And though he is a creature of few words, the Beasts put great stock in his wisdom.

He's a melee-strength Legion hero who carries a bamboo stick and jumps up and down into combat.

Here are the HoN Panda's hero abilities!

Wanna try the PANDA out for yourselves? Join the beta of Heroes of Newerth.
