Trivia

 * In the original DotA, this item was called "Cranium Basher", a reference to a unique item in Diablo 2.
 * During the early beta phase, this item could be bought by the heroes who can't buy it today. The bash also fully stacked. Later on, the bash aspect was disabled when Faceless Void bought the item. As more heroes with bash got added to the game, the item got fully disabled for purchase for them. So technically, it still fully stacks with the bashes from Slardar, Troll Warlord and Spirit Breaker, but they have no way to acquire the item without cheat commands.
