Lash of the Lizard Kin

What the Piece Is

Lash of the Lizard Kin is an Immortal head piece for Shadow Shaman. It redraws Rhasta's headdress and asks around $10 — the middle shelf of the catalogue, with no surprises attached.

What the Description Says

The slot is the head: the shaman's mask and headdress. His staff, his arms and the rest of the model stay open for anything else you own.

Rarity is Immortal, the tier below arcana, handed out through tournament treasures rather than ordinary chests.

Nothing about his kit moves. Hex, Shackles and Serpent Wards work the same regardless of what he has on.

Rhasta goes on position four or five: he holds a lane with disables and tears down towers with wards by the midgame. Cosmetics on him last, because he rarely leaves the rotation.

How It Looks in a Match

The in-game text has Rhasta realising that nothing stopped him turning his trademark transformations to more useful ends — an interesting and very nearly fatal day, as it puts it.

The joke is that the only limit on the shaman is his own imagination, and that limit is also what almost killed him.

For a hero whose whole job is turning enemy soldiers into harmless wildlife, it fits.

What It Costs and What Holds the Price

The head is the most legible part of his outline. He is a short hero, and the eye goes straight to the headdress.

It shows up most in two situations: while he is channelling Shackles and while he plants wards under a tower. Both keep him on screen for a long time.

It sits with existing sets without any conflict, because slots are independent and a head piece drops over any armour.

The styling is reptilian, as the name promises, so it suits dark and calm sets better than bright ones. If the rest of your gear on him is loud, check the colours before paying.

Who It Suits

Around $10, which is the middle of the Dota 2 catalogue where most of the commonly traded Immortals live.

Two things keep it there: the run is finite, and Shadow Shaman remains a working support that people keep picking.

Today's number is printed in the card above this text. On LIS-SKINS it generally runs under the Steam figure, because the Valve commission is not included in it.

Watch the prefixes in the offer name as well. Copies marked Inscribed or Genuine look identical on the hero and are valued separately.

Where to Buy Lash of the Lizard Kin

Players who live on position five and want one purchase that makes the hero stand out without going into three figures.

Anyone building Rhasta slot by slot — the head is the usual place such a project begins.

If you want a visibly different hero altogether, one headdress will not do it; that calls for a full set.

At this level, though, a mistake costs almost nothing: the piece goes back on the market without a noticeable loss.

The item is available from this LIS-SKINS page. Sign in through Steam, pick an offer and pay by card, cryptocurrency or e-wallet.

It lands in the Steam inventory, where the hero's armoury picks it up. Selling it on with money paid out to a card or wallet works from here too.

Shadow Shaman's other cosmetics are spread across neighbouring catalogue pages, from cheap slots up to rare sets.
