Like many other Steam games, Dota 2 features a wide selection of different cosmetic items that players can select to modify their look and give their favorite hero a personalized makeover. Players can buy and sell Dota 2 items that allow them to modify even the tiniest details of their character’s look. Gamers who want to change up their looks can even modify each individual detail of their hero, creating Dota 2 skins of their own.
However, outside of hero items, the game also allows gamers to modify other elements of their inventory. Wards, loading screens, and even announcers can be changed by players by purchasing the appropriate cosmetic items and equipping them from their inventory.
Still, out of all the rare items available in the game, nothing can top the different couriers players can buy for their account. And while couriers are among some of the most expensive Dota 2 items, unusual couriers are even rarer and often sell for over $1000. So, what are the best unusual couriers in Dota 2?

Couriers in Dota 2 are usually small animals, machines, or critters, that deliver your hard-earned items to you in a match. While previously players had to purchase a courier at the start of the game, upgrade it, and share a single courier per team, now every player has a courier of their own at the start of each game, making unusual couriers even more popular.
An unusual courier looks like its vanilla counterpart, except it also features some additional particle effects. Many couriers also come in different unusual versions, with different colored particles. Rare courier versions will often include gold or bloody particle effects that will be more visible in the game. With an unusual courier by your side, everyone in-game will be able to see your dedication to awesome looks.
