Born in an ancient, sorcerous catastrophe, Zyra Zyra is the wrath of nature given form—an alluring hybrid of plant and human, kindling new life with every step. She views the many mortals of Runeterra Crest icon Runeterra as little more than prey for her seeded progeny, and thinks nothing of slaying them with flurries of deadly spines. Though her true purpose has not been revealed, Zyra wanders the world, indulging her most primal urges to colonize, and strangle all other life from it.

Background[]

Early Life[]

Zyra existed thousands of years ago as a collective hive-mind of carnivorous plants that lived together in a place called Gardens of Zyr, somewhere in the Shurima Crest icon Shuriman jungle. Sometime during the Rune Wars, a party of soldiers accompanied by an ambitious sorceress visited the garden and were attacked by the plants. In an act of fear, the sorceress unleashed a magical attack that ignited the fumes of the swamp, causing a magical explosion that destroyed everything in its path. The gardens remained lifeless for hundreds of years after.

Contemporary history[]

After centuries without life in the gardens, Zyra emerged from the lifeless ground, not fully plant nor fully human. She struggled to understand her new existence and came to be curious of the new world she was able to explore.

Her plants seem to be slowly expanding westward towards the Mother of Life river system of the Shurima Capital.

With the Flowers[]

Zyra's flowers were collected by a flower shop in the market city of Kumangra. The owner watered one of the flowers and placed it in his study. From the flower bloomed a large mass of vines and flowers that covered the entire study and wrapped the shop owner into a cocoon, killing him. After the shop owner's wife found him, Zyra appeared in the study, stopping the wife from destroying the flower and wrapping her in a cocoon, killing her. As the woman died, she saw visions of a world covered in Zyra's plants with nothing else in sight.

Appearance[]

Zyra is a wondrous vision of a creature, resembling a human woman covered with plants, which seem to be parts of her body. Her eyes are very similar to a panther's, with narrow irises that are common to predators.

Personality[]

Zyra is a vicious, predatory creature. In spite of gaining human intelligence, Zyra still has the natural instinct of consuming and devouring of a vicious predator. Her ultimate goal is to envelop the world with her plants, making it beautiful and ridding it of all that isn't her.

Abilities[]

  • Unique Physiology: Zyra is a hybrid of human and plant, something the world has never seen before. She was created on a magical accident during the Rune Wars, a disastrous explosion that mixed the natural elemental magics of Ixtal Crest icon Ixtal's swamps and the careless spells of an unnamed sorceress.
  • Nature Magic: Zyra can create plant life as she sees fit, and is able to create vines vines, thorn spitter flowers thorn spitter flowers, and other types of plants.
    • Infection: The spores in Zyra's plants can infect humans and grow into full blooming plants, killing them from the inside.
    • Pseudo-Teleportation: Zyra is able to reform wherever her flowers flowers have taken root.

Relations[]

Trivia[]

Zyra, Rise of the Thorns Zyra, Rise of the Thorns

  • Zyra came to be during a magical catastrophe made by an exploring party from a long-forgotten kingdom during the Rune Wars. She doesn't quite understand the world and has yet to demonstrate if she is more rational than instinctive.

Original Zyra Original Zyra

  • Zyra wants to explore the world she glimpsed when consuming the sorceress, as well as to adapt to her new form, the fragility of which makes basic survival all the more important.[1]
  • Zyra (the predatory plant who relishes her new form) looks down on Maokai Maokai (the guardian nature spirit who laments his own) and yet they might be the only ones able to show each other the merits of their newfound bodies.[2]
  • Zyra might show some interest in Ahri Ahri considering the commonality in their acquisition of a humanoid form, but otherwise the Fox is merely a many-tailed snack.[3]
