Lore[]
Professor von Yipp was once one of Piltover's brightest minds, though his unconventionally fuzzy form overshadowed his razor-sharp intellect. Ridiculed for his looks and forced to attribute his ideas to his human colleagues, he soon grew weary of academia.[1]
Thus he went to Zaun, where progress needs no propriety. There, he turned his genius towards augmentation and found a kindred spirit in the brilliant and ambitious Viktor. It was from him that von Yipp first learned of a powerful new technology known as "hextech".[2]
Note[]
- Whether or not the effect activates is based on the card's cost as it enters play, not its original cost. This can be seen in Lab of Legends, as the Foundry starts with Professor von Yipp in play and has a power that reduces the cost of all cards.
Trivia[]
- 5Heimerdinger is featured in the artwork.
- Professor von Yipp was named after Legends of Runeterra's design director, Andrew 'Umbrage' Yip.
- To Herd A Cat reveals that Professor Andrej von Yipp used a machine to swap bodies with his cat Mauczka, but it broke quickly after resulting in both of them being stuck in each other's bodies.
- Despite being the focus of the card's artwork, the "man" is actually Mauczka in Professor von Yipp's body and the cat is Professor von Yipp in Mauczka's body.
- Professor von Yipp is voiced by Jason Spisak, who also voices 1 Fallen Feline, 5 Subpurrsible, 3 Nyandroid, 1 Mageseeker Conservator, and 5Vladimir. [3]
