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.

Xin Zhao
Xin Zhao is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- The stack counter displays 1–3 rather than the usual 0–2, meaning that a count of 1 does not translate to having 1 stack.
- Wind Becomes Lightning's generates one stack per strike that hits at least one enemy.
- Stacks reset when Xin Zhao dies.
- Stacks of Determination will be gained even if the attack is blocked.
- PENDING FOR TEST:: Determination's interaction with parrying effects ( dodge, blind).
- Determination deals proc damage.
- Since it is a separate instance of damage when applied by basic attack or either of Wind Becomes Lightning's strikes, flat damage reduction that applies to both the main and bonus damage such as Amumu's Tantrum's passive will reduce each, for twice the reduction.
- The bonus damage cannot critically strike.
- Since it is a separate instance of damage when applied by basic attack or either of
- When applied by a basic attack:
- The attack uses a unique animation.
- The bonus damage benefits from life steal.
- PENDING FOR TEST: It applies life steal specifically.
- Neither the bonus damage or heal will be blocked by spell shield.
- When applied by either of Wind Becomes Lightning's strikes:
- Triggers against the closest target struck by the strike (equals first target to receive spell effects).
- Does not benefit from life steal, including not healing from Wind Becomes Lightning's 33% conversion for this bonus damage.
- Since proc damage is 'single target', Vamp will heal from 100% of the bonus damage.
- The bonus damage will be blocked by spell shield, the heal will not.
- Spell shield will only block the knock up.
- The enhanced attacks present input buffering during their wind-up animation (Xin Zhao cannot be issued any commands until after it ends).
- Spell shield will block only a single instance of damage - either the thrust or the slash.
- The first strike will occur immediately and the second will occur after the cast time completes.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
- The first strike will occur from wherever Xin Zhao is at the start of the cast time.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The second strike will occur from wherever Xin Zhao is at the end of the cast time.
- The first strike's hitbox includes a 275 radius 160° cone in front of Xin Zhao and an additional 125 radius around him.
- The second strike's hitbox includes the same 125 radius around Xin Zhao, a missile with 1000 range and 80 total width, and a -60 radius area check upon the end of the missile.
- The 125 radius check does not hit champion summoned units.(note)
- Because Wind Becomes Lightning uses an older type of 'healing based on life steal' and not applies life steal, Spirit Visage will amplify the life gain twice (+25% life steal and +25% healing), for a total of +56.25%.
- The primary target cannot dodge Audacious Charge's effects.
- The target will always emit the area of effect from their position.
- If no unit is targeted directly, Audacious Charge will search for possible targets in a 200 radius around the target location.
- Pets, traps, ground AoEs, DoTs, and delayed-damage abilities (e.g. Death Mark, Explosive Charge, Hemoplague) will not damage Xin Zhao if the enemy champion source is outside the circle when the damage applies.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- Displacement immunity will also resist the application of the stun.
- Enemies will not be marked as Challenged if Crescent Guard has not been learned. Learning the ability after an enemy would have been marked will still cause them to be knocked back.
Champion skins[]

Xin Zhao is a resolute warrior loyal to the ruling Lightshield dynasty. Once condemned to the fighting pits of Noxus, he survived countless gladiatorial bouts, but after being freed by Demacian forces, he swore his life and allegiance to these brave liberators. Armed with his favored three-talon spear, Xin Zhao now fights for his adopted kingdom, audaciously challenging any foe, no matter the odds.
