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.
Ivern, known to many as Bramblefoot or the Old Woodsman, is a peculiar half-man, half-tree who roams the wilds of 
Runeterra, cultivating life everywhere he goes. He knows all the secrets of the natural world, and holds deep friendships with things that grow, fly, and scuttle. Ivern enriches the forests, imparts strange wisdom to any mortal he meets, and occasionally entrusts loose-lipped butterflies with his secrets.

Background[]
Early Life[]
Ivern the Cruel was a renowned warlord of ancient
Vorrijaard, following the ways of the warlike old gods, including the 
Volibear, in spite of the new Three Sisters. Though the armies of the Three Sisters was enhanced by 
dark magic and could not be beaten by any normal means. Ivern and his clan plotted on how best to take down the Iceborn, eventually they settled on sailing east, towards where all magic flows from, to harvest said magic for himself. Unbeknownst to them, once they had set sail, they would never be seen in Vorrijaard again.
As Ivern and his tribe landed on 
Ionia and conquered their way through a dozen coastal settlements, they discovered a sacred grove, Omikayalan or "the Heart of the World". Ivern was attacked by many Vastayans, trying to drive away Ivern and his tribe from their sacred grove, but Ivern continued, slaying anyone who stood in his way. This continued until finally he had arrived at the legendary God-Willow, a colossal tree with gossamer leaves, shimmering of gold. He realised this had to be what the Vastaya were trying to protect so he took up his axe and struck down the God-Willow. As the tree fell, Ivern the Cruel disapeared with it.
Reborn as the The Green Father[]
Ivern saw bursts of life from the death and destruction he had caused, and he found it oddly beautiful. As he reflected on himself, he noticed his body had changed; he was taller and with longer limbs, rough with bark and leaves. Suddenly he started hearing the very land around him crying and Ivern felt a sudden rush of remorse and sadness over what he had done. As Ivern cried out in sadness, he noticed that somehow, a unfathomable long time had passed, the world felt new and the sadness and violence he once felt as Ivern the Cruel had disapeared. Ivern was a completely different person now, one who enjoyed communicating with the various flora and fauna, rivers and dirt, developing close friendships with the forest creatures and offering a helping hand where he could. He realized that he now bore the God-Willow's legacy, to cultivate and help humanity grow into something beautiful.
Appearance[]
Ivern is a thin being, as tall as a tree. Iverns entire body is made out of living wood, with his legs thinning out into roots. His head is made of a pale wood with various moss and mushrooms growing from it. His head spirals outwards into two large portrusions, giving the appearance of two great horns, almost resembling an old Freljordian helmet, a remnant from his former life. From his head, leaves grow in places where his hair would normaly be, giving him a lush beard, pair of eyebrows and a mane of hair behind his horns. On his right arm is a woven gauntlet with various moss and mushrooms growing from it. In his horns, across his roots and in his left arm, rings of gold still remain.
Personality[]
Ivern the Cruel was a fierce and ruthless warrior, following the traditions of the warlike old gods of the Freljord. Ivern the Green Father, however, is cheerful and whimsical in contrast. Deeply attuned to nature, he may appear strange and eccentric to humans. He is curious and benevolent, nurturing the growth of the natural world wherever he can find it. Those who seek to harm the denizens of the forest, however, will find that Ivern's magic can harm as well as help.
Abilities[]
- Magical Alteration: After cutting the God-Willow, Ivern was forcibly turned into a half plant creature.
- Immortality: Ivern has lived for millenia.
- Nature Magic: Ivern has been altered by the essence of the God-Willow, granting him many mystical powers over plants and animals. With the ability to commune with the spirits of the land. He can manipulate the growth of plants to his wishes, whether it be for hiding or for immobilizing his foes.
Relations[]
- Ivern sees almost all the forest creatures as friends (not so much Dragon) but he finds the Rift Herald scary.
- As Ivern the Cruel, Ivern once led a rebellion against the Frozen Watchers and the Iceborn.
- Ivern has been all over Runeterra, but he has yet to visit the Blessed/Shadow Isles, and is thus unaware of Maokai's existence.
- Bard, Kindred, and Ivern are all familiar with each other on some level.
