Bristleback's default item and model are missing some backfaces
All of Bristleback's default items except for the back item are missing backfaces. His default head spikes are invisible when viewed from behind, his eye patch is transparent from behind and the green patches on his bracers disappear as well. As for his model, his mouth has a giant hole in hit, visible a bit when he talks, but very visible when using Viscous Nasal Goo. His belt (which cannot be customized) has an apron which is inivisible when viewed from behind.

A part of Bristleback's lower jaw is glued to his upper jaw, so that it stretches while talking
When Bristleback talks, a small part at the center below his lower lip is getting stretched. It's glued to his upper lip. Also, a part to the left side of his nose is also stretching when he talks.

Viscous Nasal Goo[]
Viscous Nasal Goo's overhead counter on the target visually resets to 1 whenever losing and regaining vision over it
Viscous Nasal Goo's debuff always resets to 1 visually whenever vision is lost over the debuffed target. This is only a visual bug, the stacks are still there, just not displayed. This goes for the over-head number, the status debuff number and the movement and armor values of the unit.

Viscous Nasal Goo's cast animation does not finish after reaching the cast point, instantly getting canceled
There are a lot of heroes who get their animations instantly canceled as soon as the cast point is reached, resulting in some ugly jerking, strange looking animation resets, or partially even completely missing animations due to very low cast points.
Affected spells are: Sticky Napalm, Viscous Nasal Goo, Rocket Flare, Fissure, Torrent, X Marks the Spot, Overwhelming Odds, Earth Spike, Howl, Earthbind, Sacred Arrow, Starstorm, Impale, Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Mana Burn"., Nether Blast, Blink Strike, Smoke Screen, Shadow Poison, Shadow Poison Release, Lua error in Module:Ability_ID at line 61: Could not find Cargo data for "Soul Catcher"., Mystic Flare, Shrapnel, Storm Hammer, Psionic Trap, Chakram, Second Chakram, Timber Chain, Ice Shards, Earthshock, Maledict and The Swarm

Quill Spray[]
Quill Spray reveals Bristleback's position through the fog of war
Quill Spray's visual effect reveals Bristleback's position through the fog of war when cast close enough at the edge of the fog. It looks like when one tiny piece of the effect leaves the fog, the entire effect gets visible.

Warpath[]
Warpath does not grant stacks to Bristleback's illusions when Bristleback himself already has max stacks
Illusions owned by Bristleback are supposed to gain Warpath stacks whenever he casts a spell. However, instead, they gain a stack whenever Bristleback does. This means if Bristleback is at max stacks already, his illusions do not gain stacks, even if they are not at max stacks.

Warpath doesn't grant stacks to illusions under Bristleback's control which aren't from Bristleback
Warpath is supposed to grant all illusions under the player's control a stack whenever casting a spell. However, it only grants Bristleback illusions a stack. This means when having illusions of other heroes under control, those illus do not gain stacks.

Warpath stacks on illusions don't show their duration on the status buff, and appear like permanent buffs
The Warpath stacks on illusions do not show their duration. This makes it possible to distinguish the real Bristleback from his illusions by checking the Warpath buffs.
