Brackern

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun

• Dormun 1
• Dormun 2
• A depiction of a Mwatis

1/3

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

• A Xer'Sai known as Rek'Sai
• Kai'Sa fighting Outerbeasts 1
• Kai'Sa fighting Outerbeasts 2
• Kai'Sa fighting Outerbeasts 3
• Kai'Sa fighting Outerbeasts 4

1/5

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

• A Ralsiji
• A Shuriman Camel 1
• A Shuriman Camel 2

1/3

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

• Skallashi
• Skallashi in The Great Sai
• Skallashi at The Zoantha Cascade
• Skallashi near The Sun Disc
• Skallashi in Nashramae

1/5

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.

Lore

The greatest boon of Nasus' Ascension—his newly extended longevity, which allowed him countless lifetimes to spend in study and contemplation—would, after the fall of Shurima, also prove to be his curse. But now, Shurima's rise has given him renewed purpose...

Patient and wise, Nasus was a peerless strategist and celebrated general who guided Shurima to greatness alongside his brother, Renekton. After his Ascension, he became a jackal-headed demigod, and the eternal guardian of the empire's knowledge.

1 / 03-Mar-2021

Level 1

"Nasus' newly won blessing allowed him countless lifetimes to spend in study and contemplation over the nature of life and death. But this same extended lifespan would, after the fall of Shurima, also prove to be his curse." - Scribe Kah'nir, History of the Ascended Host

Level 2

"For years, 6Nasus and his brother Renekton served the empire. 6Nasus was a scholar, Renekton a fierce warrior. It was not until the two were called upon to confront the betrayer, Xerath, that 6Nasus was forced to make a terrible choice..." - Scribe Kah'nir, History of the Ascended Host

Worldbreaker Nasus: Common Skin

The end is near.

Features:

• 3 new artworks

This skin is available for purchase.

700 / 05-Jan-2022

Level 1

"O, hear the earth tremble! At sunrise, the fourth titan will arise in a blaze of hellfire and glory, just as the Prophecy of the First Destruction foretold. I fear that the end is nearing..."
- Meduanna the Seer

Level 2

"But however many souls he devours, it will not be enough."
- Meduanna the Seer

Level 3

"At sundown, he shall swell in size, stretching out towards the vast, all-seeing cosmos. As the final sliver of sunlight disappears, so shall the earth."

Edit

Corrupted Nasus: Common Skin

It seems Shurima was meant to fall.

Features:

• 5 new artworks

This skin is limited: From the Bloodwoven Event Pass 2022.

07-Dec-2022

Level 1

As Nasus' mind declined, he clung to his strongest memory--that of his brother, Renekton, urging Nasus to sacrifice him.

Level 2

What kind of brother would force such a choice? Centuries of guilt, regret, torment... no brother would do such a thing, Nasus thought over and over again. It was the only thought left to him. No brother of his. No brother.

Level 3

No. Nasus had no brother. Renekton would die, and then Nasus would know peace again.
