Fountain of Health (Warcraft III)



A Fountain of Health is a neutral (not belonging to any specific player teams) building in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion the Frozen Throne. Wounded units standing close to it will regenerate faster than normally, which makes it useful for healing.

Description from the official site

 * Unlike with other Neutral Buildings, the Fountain of Health does not need to be activated by mouse clicking. Instead, the Fountain automatically regenerates the hit points of nearby Heroes and non-mechanical units.


 * Regenerate 1% of the unit's total Hit Points per second.

Other details

 * Fountains of health appear both in the custom and campaign maps. While not overly common, they aren't rare either.
 * Fountains of health are usually guarded by creeps. It is possible to use them while the creeps are sleeping (giving they are of the type that sleep).
 * When a unit is regenerating from a fountain of health, a yellow shining "healing" effect will appear on it. Additionally, this will also generate a deep continuous "shuuu" sound. Both the effect and the sound will vanish once the unit is fully healed.
 * There are no fountains of health in World of Warcraft.

Outland version
It also exists an Outland-version which works just like a normal fountain of health, but is much redder in color. Interestingly, it is identical to the Fountain of Blood created by Mannoroth during the Third War. While the developers were probably just using it to improve the environment, it's also possible the fountains in Outland were tainted by all the demons living there.
