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.
Universe
A manic and impulsive criminal from 
Zaun, 
Jinx lives to wreak havoc without care for the consequences. With an arsenal of deadly weapons, she unleashes the loudest blasts and brightest explosions to leave a trail of mayhem and panic in her wake. Jinx despises boredom and gleefully brings her own chaotic brand of pandemonium wherever she goes.
 | "Volatile explosives are a girl’s best friend!" — Jinx |
 |
Background
Early Life
Jinx grew up in Zaun as a sweet and innocent girl who loved tinkering with machinery but never quite fit in. However, a horrible tragedy changed her into a completely different person who delighted in acts of destruction.
Contemporary History
Jinx eventually became a widely known criminal, first gaining notoriety through her anonymous “pranks” on the citizens of 
Piltover, particularly those with connections to the city's ruling houses. These pranks ranged from mildly annoying to extremely dangerous, causing chaos and mayhem throughout Piltover and Zaun. Law enforcement attributed these to other gangs in Zaun, and Jinx was annoyed by this, deciding to make it clear that her future "pranks" were going to clearly mark her as their perpetrator from then on. Soon, word of her began to spread around and she became the most widely known criminal in both cities, causing mayhem and destruction wherever she went.
Recent events
Jinx continues to cause mayhem around Piltover and Zaun wherever and whenever she can with seemingly no regard for the property damage or potential victims she would create, only occasionally being thwarted by enforcer 
Vi or 
Caitlyn.
Convergence
Jinx began to be idolized by a group of Zaunites who adored how she caused chaos and destruction, although she ignored them.
Appearance
Jinx's in-game design contains a fairly petite height, standing at the short stature 5'3" while sporting an exaggerated slender form that includes a narrow abdomen and sinewy arms and legs.
She has bright blue hair that has a large swoop bang facing her left, with her hair tied into two tight braids that fall over her mid-back and cascade to her ankles. Nearly touching the pavement.
She possesses a pallor skin shade, with slight bags underneath her eyes along with a dullish hue going on about in her scheme. Her attire consists of a smooth sharpish leather v neck bralette. With a mixmached design on both straps- with the left being a striped magenta and the right being a black grain leather that has a lattice pattern. Her bottom hemline flourishing a belt holder.
As for her bottoms, she dons a pair of short torn magenta shorts that are loosely hung up by large bullet belt.
She sports a long purple fishnet stocking on her left thigh, a pair of linen leather combat boots worn and weathered faltered collars, and a X shaped bandage on her right knee.
Personality
Jinx is an eccentric inventor and criminal, taking pleasure in inventing and causing mayhem and destruction.
Jinx can be described as a highly volatile entity who exhibits a range of psychological complexities characterized by Borderline Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. Her emotional agility is nothing short of bewildering, with mood swings of drastic proportions. A memorable past of relentless trauma has left her with a sense of inhospitality and disregard that fuels a powerful outburst of anger and resentment toward the cosmos, which in turn leads her to recklessly display impetuous tendencies.
An inseparable amalgam of a fearful and chaotic individual, Jinx is the epitome of anarchism and recklessness. Her uncanny ability to remain indifferent to the feelings and rights of others makes her an enigma worthy of analysis. Jinx's compulsion to malice and malevolence is quite disturbing, and her thought process may indicate the presence of psychopathic tendencies. An examination of her character reveals her to be a confused and troubled individual, plagued by emotional instability and a lack of the skills necessary to maintain an emotionally stable relationship.
Abilities
- Chemically Altered Physiology: Due to being subjected to a horrendous experimental surgery by Singed that used an advanced version of Shimmer to save her life, Jinx was permanently altered by the drug's effects, giving her superhuman physical abilities in exchange for an even more deteriorated mental state.
- Enhanced Strength: Jinx is substantially stronger than the average human. Despite her slender build, she was strong enough to knock Caitlyn out with one punch and lift Vi’s deactivated Atlas Gauntlets almost effortlessly, a notable feat given that Vi could barely lift even one deactivated gauntlet on her own. She was also strong enough to toss Fishbones, a rocket launcher almost as long as she is tall, into the air as if it were a basketball and easily jump high enough to catch it in mid-air so that she could use it to take a shot.
- Enhanced Speed: Jinx can move at incredible speeds, as displayed by how she was able to disarm Caitlyn in a split second and knock her out before the latter could react in time to defend herself. She was also able to dodge and parry many of Warwick's attacks during their confrontation in Stillwater and could move so fast that even he had trouble keeping up with her speed during certain points of their fight.
- Enhanced Durability: Jinx is far more durable than the average human. She was able to tank numerous punches from Vi's Atlas Gauntlets, which are strong enough to easily shatter ribs, without suffering any broken bones and withstand several of Warwick's attacks while only sustaining moderate injuries, a notable feat given that Warwick can easily eviscerate people with his claws.
- Enhanced Endurance: Jinx has an inhumanly high tolerance to pain. Despite all the punches that Vi landed on her during their fight in Janna's temple, she was able to keep moving and fighting back against her older sister with little trouble. She was also able to withstand the pain of getting her middle finger shot off her left hand, with the injury only slowing her down by several seconds, and inhale large amounts of the Grey for a prolonged period of time without passing out or suffocating.
- Inventor: While not having any formal education, Jinx learned how to create numerous contraptions and weapons with her own creativity and ingenuity.
- Pow-Pow: A machine gun of her own design, this would be Jinx's primary weapon during her usual escapades around Piltover and Zaun.
- Fishbones: This rocket cannon has a chemtech payload known as Super Mega Rockets, which is enabled it to shoot great distances.
- Zapper: A gun that shoots lightning arcs, it's able to stun any person targeted.
- Chompers: The chompers have a chemtech payload inside them. Disarming one can prove to be dangerous, as its inner mechanisms are difficult to go through due to their random scrapheap design.
- Mr. Sparkles: A laser cannon or rocket launcher. After she tried modifying it with the stolen hextech core in Piltover it launched itself out of her hands and landed in Zaun, being destroyed from the impact.
Relations
Vi
As an enforcer, Vi is dedicated to capturing Jinx at all costs. Jinx once painted a rude depiction of Vi on the wall of the Ecliptic Vaults, one of Piltover's most secure treasuries.
Ekko
| “ | ▶️ "I had a crush… until you started talking to the gun." |
—  Ekko to Jinx
| |
 |
Jinx seemingly shows no signs of knowing Ekko, despite Ekko stating that he knew Jinx and had a crush on her when they were kids.
Caitlyn Kiramman
As the sheriff of Piltover, Caitlyn is dedicated to arresting Jinx for her crimes.
Ziggs
Meeting Ziggs during her regular escapades around Zaun, Jinx quickly saw through his yordle glamour, believing him to be a product of her imagination, more specifically, her conscience. Due to their shared love for explosions, Jinx convinced Ziggs to live with her in Zaun after a night of hijinks.
