Trivia
Originally, the Orb of Venom was introduced in Dota as an upgradeable item. In its earlier iterations, players had the option to upgrade the Orb of Venom into a more powerful form called 'Corrosive Venom'. This upgraded version retained the slowing effect of the basic Orb of Venom but also dealt damage over time, making it a more potent and aggressive option for heroes looking to apply sustained pressure on their enemies.
