Curious minds are contemplating the existence of a character known as Slork. Observant and perhaps a little enthusiastically engaged (but in a positive sense), fans have recently unveiled a previously unreleased figure in Valve's anticipated shooter/MOBA crossover titled Deadlock.

This character, seemingly named Slork, appears to embody traits typical of an assassin with a water-related theme. While a detailed reveal alongside an analysis of abilities follows, many in the community have noted resemblances to Dota's Slark, both in terms of nomenclature and functions, indicating that Slork might merely serve as a temporary designation that may never make it into the final game.

A textual exploration awaits below, infused with some lighthearted commentary regarding the unique name of this character.

It seems unlikely that fans will encounter Slork anytime soon, as the official release of Deadlock is still pending, despite the presence of dedicated content creators, organizations launching competitive teams, and notable figures in the Esports scene sharing intentions to transition from titles like PUBG to partake in this new third-person MOBA. Personally, I sincerely wish that when Slork ultimately debuts, it does so in all its glory—with its name preserved in full (kudos to PC Gamer).
