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 Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

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 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[]

Shurima 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.

Abilities[]

Edit

Prowl

Prowl

Innate - Prowl: While in Brushmaker brush, Nidalee gains Movement speed icon Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)10% bonus movement speed, increased to inherit30% when facing a nearby Sight icon visible enemy Champion icon champion, and persisting for 2 seconds after leaving brush.

Innate - Hunt: Hitting Monster icon monsters or enemy champions with Javelin Toss Javelin Toss, or Bushwhack Bushwhack while they are nearby, applies a Hunted mark and True Sight icon reveals them for 4 seconds. During this time, Nidalee gains Movement speed icon Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)10% bonus movement speed, increased to inherit30% when facing a nearby Hunted target. Additionally, Nidalee's first use of Takedown Takedown and Pounce Pounce against Hunted targets are empowered.

Javelin Toss

Javelin Toss

Active: Nidalee hurls a javelin in the target direction that deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to the first enemy hit, increased by 0% − 200% (based on distance traveled).

Minimum Magic Damage:
70 / 90 / 110 / 130 / 150 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 50% AP)
Maximum Magic Damage:
210 / 270 / 330 / 390 / 450 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 150% AP)

Info
  • This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
  • The damage amplification is based on the distance from Nidalee's location at the end of the cast time to the struck target's center at the time of collision.
    • The damage increase is very slightly higher than the spear's travel distance due to edge range behaviour of collisions and the distance being measured as the radius from the picked "origin" location at the end of the cast time, rather than just along the vector of the cast.
    • The damage increase does not have distinct thresholds based on the distance the spear travelled.
    • Picking Nidalee's location at the end of the cast time as the "origin" for the damage calculation may be unintended.(note)

Nidalee OriginalSkin
Original
RP 790
17.12.2009
Raised in the deepest jungle, Nidalee is a master tracker who can shapeshift into a ferocious cougar at will. Neither wholly woman nor beast, she viciously defends her territory from any and all trespassers, with carefully placed traps and deft spear throws. She cripples her quarry before pouncing on them in feline form—the lucky few who survive tell tales of a wild woman with razor-sharp instincts, and even sharper claws...
