Character: ivy (deadlock)

post #4911853post #5808940

A playable hero from Valve Software's Deadlock, a gargoyle who suddenly awoke to sapience and was then adopted into the Arroyo family.
In-game, she wields an automatic firearm called the "Protector's Hand", and a small set of abilities including a Kudzu Bomb that can hamper enemies, a Stone Form that defends her and results in a damaging shockwave, the Watcher's Covenant to share a number of buffs between her and a proximal ally, and can Air Drop either a bomb or ally to deal damage while in flight.

She typically wears a newsboy cap (from which head horns pop out) and pants with suspenders (a topless outfit baring her featureless chest), a septum ring, bracelets with vines sprouting from them, and anklets.

On May 1st 2025, a redesign was leaked (pictured in post #5543571) that showed Ivy with more cutesy details: rounder ears, a rounder face, darker eyes, and two head horns instead of one. A separate redesign was released in an update on August 18th 2025, incorporating most of these elements with a rougher skin texture, more detailed ears, and more monstrous eyes with slit pupils.

Although canonically female, Ivy's in-game model is particularly androgynous: she wears masculine clothing, and lacks breasts, eyelashes, and typical human facial structure; certain depictions may deserve to be tagged as ambiguous gender, male, or andromorph instead.
