Dragons come in all sizes.
Blizzard has released a new character for Heroes of the Storm, its multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). It’s Chromie, a dragon from the Warcraft universe charged with safeguarding time and space. Like other dragons from Warcraft, she usually takes a human (or, in her case, gnome) appearance. You can watch her in action below:

Heroes of the Storm is a free-to-play game for PC. Players can use real money to buy more characters, so adding heroes like Chromie is important for Blizzard. It keeps players engaged and gives them something new to buy. It also keeps the game’s competitive scene interesting, since new characters will force pros to deal with new strategies.
Many of Chromie’s abilities tinker with time. She can learn talents one level faster than other characters, and one of her ultimate spells can send a player back to where they were 3 seconds earlier. She’s a ranged assassin, meaning she excels at dealing damage at a distance but can’t take many hits before dying.
