Revision as of 15:28, 29 May 2021

General

Dr Dr. Mundo, the Madman of Zaun
  • His name comes from two sources: Proto-Germanic *mundo "hand, protection" & unrelated Ibero-Romance mundo "world" (like in Spanish, Portuguese, etc.).
  • Dr. Mundo's dance references the titular character from House, M.D. in turn dancing to Fight the Power by Public Enemy.
    • A side-by-side comparison be seen here.
  • Of the five champions that use health as a resource for abilities; Soraka Soraka, Vladimir Vladimir, Olaf Olaf and Zac Zac, he himself was the only one whose ultimate ability has a cost, that being 25% of his current health.
  • In the V1.0.0.115 April Fools' Day patch, the following change regarding Dr. Mundo were jokingly listed:
    • Dr. Mundo decided that he enjoys the color blue.
    • Dr. Mundo now has mana.
    • None of his ability costs have changed.
  • In the V4.01 April Fools' Day patch, the following change regarding Dr. Mundo was jokingly listed, referencing his infamous "Mundo goes where he pleases" quote.
    We decided that allowing the summoner to control Mundo's movement was actually preventing Dr. Mundo from going where he pleases.
    • General
      • Movement is now controlled by AI, summoner attack/move functionality removed.
  • Masochism Masochism references the eponymous term for enjoyment derived from being inflicted pain, named after real-life writer Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.
    • This is also mechanically referenced in his kit by gaining a higher AD bonus for how low his health is.
  • Sadism Sadism references the eponymous term for enjoyment derived from inflicting pain on others, named after real-life writer Marquis de Sade.

Lore

  • Mundo suffered severe mental trauma due to the torture and experimentation he endured at the Osweld Asylum, which had dire consequences on his brain and memory.
    • "Mundo" isn't his real name and is instead him misreading the name on his straight jacket.
    • Mundo believes he is a doctor because he thinks his straight jacket is a lab coat.
