New hero in Newerth! Amun-Ra!

I'm sorry for the delay guys, but here's the new hero spotlight.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRUt9ldgfnk


The corrupted disciples of Sol harnessed the errant energies of the sun, and from that culmination of twisted nether emerged the ancient daemon god Amun-Ra, abomination of all that is light and holy. Fused together by black fire and fury, this immortal construct threatens to raze the lands with every burning step, defiling everything he touches with heretical fervor.
