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.
A renowned harpooner from the slaughter docks of 
Bilgewater, 
Pyke should have met his death in the belly of a gigantic jaull-fish; and yet, he returned. Now, stalking the dank alleys and backways of his former hometown, he uses his new supernatural gifts to bring a swift and gruesome end to those who make their fortune by exploiting others—and a city that prides itself on hunting monsters now finds a monster hunting them.

Background[]
Early life[]
In life and in his youth, Pyke worked on the slaughterhouse docks to earn a living, he found work at the Red Dock and it didn't take him long to get used to the business, the hard work and its minimum wage. But deep down he aspired for more and every time he saw a crew arrive with huge creatures to sell his desire grew more and more, he worked hard and finally managed to stand out and join a crew. Pyke demonstrated great talent for Buhru-style harpoon hunting, earning the title of the best harpooner of his time.
One day while his ship was sailing, a Jaull Fish appeared, one of the most coveted and strongest monstrous fish in all of Runeterra since its oil had magical properties. Pyke without hesitation jumped into the sea into the mouth of the fish to try to kill it, but the fish emitted a powerful scream which called a herd of Jaull Fish which began to push the boat.
The desperate captain was forced to cut Pyke's lifeline. The last thing he saw was the horrified faces of his companions as they saw him being devoured by the monstrous fish. However, in the jaw of the fish Pyke survived, when he opened his eyes he saw lights which were watching him, something mysterious crushed his mind and showed him visions of his companions benefiting from his death.
The magical oils of the Jaul fish changed Pyke who now only had in his mind a great desire for revenge and punishment, granting him supernatural powers, eventually Pyke left the monster and returned to Bilgewater determined to get revenge.
Contemporary history[]

Ruined King[]
Due to the fear he instilled in Bilgewater, Illaoi, the high priestess of the Buhru, decided to put a stop to the Red Dock Ripper, leaving the Serpent Isles and venturing into Bilgewater to try to track him down. When she was about to kill a retired captain, Pyke encountered Illaoi and her followers. At first he did not see interest in killing her, but when he saw how insistent she was on stopping him, he prepared to fight her.
The battle was fierce, but Illaoi finally managed to overpower Pyke. Seeing that he was an undead, she felt disgusted since the undead were a blasphemy to her religion. So she subjected him to the test of Nagakabouros knowing that due to his undead nature he would not survive and would be crushed and destroyed by the power of the Goddess.
However, Pyke managed to survive, because to the confusion of Illaoi, the Goddess considered him worthy. Pyke was left stunned and with his mind spinning wondering what she had done to him, but he still had enough strength to escape and fled from a disconcerted Illaoi.

Pyke is a corpse-like entity that has been in the water for quite some time. He is thin, skeletal, has slightly pale dark skin, a shaved head, and bright blue-green lights that shine in his sockets as eyes.
Personality[]
In life, Pyke was a very loyal and hard-working man who was willing to do anything to be recognized. After dying and resurrecting he became a living killing machine, he was ruthless, sadistic and very vengeful, he was determined to take revenge on those responsible for his death.
After Illaoi tested him and proved him worthy, Pyke regained some of his former self, always sharpening his knife to avoid falling into a fit of rage.

Ahri, 
Braum, 
Illaoi, 
Miss Fortune, Pyke and 
Yasuo would set sail to the 
Shadow Isles to fight 
Viego in order to protect Bilgewater. Although Pyke is an undead, Illaoi sees Pyke as an eddy of a much deeper tide and therefore is in motion.[2] She subjects Pyke to Nagakabouros' test and her influence calms him from his murderous states. Later, Pyke saved the Sentinels of Light from 
Miss Fortune's attack after she made a deal with Viego in exchange for power. Pyke then joined the team despite most of the members not approving it.

Trivia[]
- Pyke was not resurrected by Nagakabouros or the Shadow Isles Black Mist. He was resurrected by the magic of the Jaull fish.
- Pyke is part ocean now, he can magically turn into sea-mist and swim between the air. When he's in this state, he sees the real world as "underwater".[3]
- The mist/ Mordekaiser cannot control Pyke. He is a different sort of undeath. His powers are probably tied to the spirit world in some way. They are boons of the swimming city.[4]
- Pyke is part ocean now, he can magically turn into
- The 'Swimming City' mentioned by Pyke multiple times is noted as being a very real thing, a city that literally swims and never stays in the same place. This is noted because Pyke is stated to never lie. Pyke's death and resurrection warbled his mind significantly, so what he's saying isn't necessarily false, it's simply distorted though madness. The Swimming City might not be what most people would consider it to be.[5]
- Pyke clearly can't seem to remember or understand that the names on his list are being altered. He occasionally remembers being manipulated by higher power but doesn't care about it.[7]
- Pyke believes that before drowning he was a sailor aboard The Terror however no one has records of that vessel. Since Pyke's list keeps increasing (usually before killing someone) it's likely that The Terror is a fabrication from his own broken mind, and a way for whatever gave him his powers to keep Pyke interested in killing people.
- The ship he was a sailor of was a different one, with one known member being Lars whom Pyke later killed.[8]
- Despite similarities to Nautilus' lore, Riot decided to keep Pyke's lore the same because they felt there was enough room for two deep sea revenants that desired revenge.[9]
- Pyke is half Buhru islander and half immigrant. His mother was from the Serpent Isles and his father immigrated to Bilgewater from the Freljord or the outer territories of Noxus.[10]
- His favorite food is salted pork and his favorite beverage is red wine cut with salt water.[11]
- After the Ruined King's return, Pyke became benevolent as a result of Nagakabouros' influence, but may eventually return back to his murderous state.
