Brackern[]
Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.
Dormun[]
The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.
Eka'Sul[]
Desert goats that travel in herds.
Mwatis[]
Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.
Kmiros[]
Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for 
Rammus.
Outerbeasts[]
- Main article: Voidborn
Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.
- Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger.
Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.
Ralsiji[]
Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.
Shuriman Camel[]
A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.
Sandswimmers[]
Sandswimmers
Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.
Skallashi[]
The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.
| “ | "Master Doran, this is from Wukong. He couldn't make the journey with me, but he wanted me to bring you his favorite fruit. He loves his staff, almost as much as he loves making fun of the helmet you gave me." |
—  Master Yi, Homecoming

Master Doran was a legendary blacksmith of the 
Wuju Order from Wuju, the same village 
Master Yi was a part of. He was respected throughout Wuju for his skill with hammer and anvil. Doran desires nothing more than to craft the best blades in the world, but does not forge them for battle.
Background[]
Taught by Ornn[]
Although the birthplace of Doran remains unknown, he received instruction from the God of the Forge, Ornn, prior to journeying to Wuju. This may suggest a potential connection to the 
Freljord.
Life in Wuju[]
At some point, Doran would travel and settle in Wuju, because only they saw his weapons the same way as he did, a tool not to be used for bloodshed. Though he was once an outsider to the village, Wuju’s smiths and masters had embraced him, so legendary was his skill with hammer and anvil.
Every four seasons, he would make a pilgrimage south of the village, to Mistfall, a sacred site of a long forgotten, ancient battlefield. He would be accompanied three times by Master Hurong, Yi's master, and later by a young 
Yi.
Doran would come to Mistfall to leave his blades there as a token of his vow to never again participate in the violence and bloodshed of war. Since Doran never had the intention for his weapons to be used in war, the spirits of Mistfall granted his blades blessings that would last.
At some point, Doran, created a 
Staff and the 
Seven Lenses of Insight and gave them to a now 
Master Yi.[1]
Noxian Invasion of Ionia and Death[]
During the Noxian Invasion, 
Master Yi followed by the other masters fought off the Noxian troops and tried to help liberate Navori. With the village of Wuju unprotected, it was destroyed by 
Noxus and its chemical weapons it gained from 
Zaun, corrupting the land on which it once stood. No villager survived, including Master Doran and Yi's parents, leaving Yi the only original surviving member of Wuju Order.
Appearance[]
Doran was a old man with a long white beard and his hair tied up into a bun. He wore a loose yellow robe with red hems, tied togheter with a similarly colored red belt. He wears loose light blue pants and long fingerless gloves in the same color, connected between the middle and ring finger.
Personality[]
Doran showed to be an unkempt, absentminded, and eccentric old man. Even though he carried himself with a certain nonchalance, his more deeper wisdom would sometimes still surface during important moments.
Abilities[]
- Craftmanship: Doran is responsible for the creation of several items, such as Doran's Blade, Doran's Lost Blade, Doran's Ring, Doran's Lost Ring, Doran's Shield, Doran's Lost Shield, Doran's Lost Idol, Doran's Staff and Doran's Seven Lenses of Insight.
Relations[]
Master Yi[]
Doran trained Master Yi by taking him to Mistfall, where he learned how to imbue his weapon with spirit energy.
Wukong[]
Doran created Wukong's Staff.
Ornn[]
Everything Doran knew about crafting weapons and items, he was allegedly taught by Ornn.
