Tabu, the Voodoo Shaman Tabu, the Voodoo Shaman is a canceled champion.

The Voodoo Shaman

As one of the few remaining voodoo shamans of Jugos, Tabu took it upon himself to educate the populace of his culture's twisted and remarkable powers. Traveling from town to town with local gypsies, Tabu acquired quite a large collection of shrunken heads, shriveled ears, and wispy vials which held living souls. Tabu didn't have as much luck selling these wares as he expected.

Development

Tabu was discovered in the beta files. Thematic similarities suggest he might have been inspired by Zharvakko, the Witch Doctor from Dota 2, and visual and gameplay similarities seem to indicate he might have been reworked into who is now Swain Swain.

Confirmation of his cancelation came in the 2010 Harrowing map skin for Summoner's Rift, where a coffin containing Tabu (along with two others each containing Averdrian Averdrian and Gavid Gavid) could be seen, effectively serving as the final 'nail in the coffin'.

The presented information is extracted from Closed Beta 1 (25-Mar-2009)[1], where he is referred as "48th Slave". There are minor wording adjustments for this presentation.
