Trivia

 * Vrogros, the Underlord is named "Azgalor, the Pit Lord" in DotA..
 * His title, Pit Lord, was changed to avoid possible copyright infringements with, since the Pit Lords are a race of demons in the  universe.
 * His name, Azgalor, was also changed for the same reason. Azgalor was a character from the Warcraft universe as well, who served one of the main antagonists of the Warcraft universe as a well known commander.
 * According to the Bastion Announcer, Dlc bastion announcer pick pitlord 02.mp3 "Pyre Lord" was also a proposed name for Underlord.
 * Up until the June 23, 2016 Patch, Underlord's title was "Abyssal Underlord". While the rationale of dropping "Abyssal" is unclear, it may have been to prevent confusion with the shorthand terminology of Abyssal Blade.
 * Underlord has been in work since the year 2012. Back then, he already had a beta model, placeholder ability icons and fully finished and working abilities. He could also be spawned in lobbies with cheats enabled for a short while before it was disabled.
 * This suggests that his release was originally planned much earlier (as a comparison, all other heroes were released shortly after their files were added to the game), but was delayed for reasons unknown.
 * Before his release, Underlord was showcased at the All-Star match of The International 2016, played by N0tail. He originally picked Sand King​, but a bit after the start of the game, his pick was replaced by SirActionSlacks.
