Tumblr is far more condusive to long form rambling than other forms of social media, so go here to see my ramble about LoR treants and how they fuck with me www.tumblr.com/sharjo/76289...
Ok so I like to potter around with figuring how spirits work in Runeterra and I always get screwed up by treants, because they're confusing as fuck, atleast to me So Maokai is the only champion who'…
"Spirit" and "Demon" aren't races but broad classification systems. Spirit is just any kind of entity that originates from the Spirit Realm, and so yordles are a species of spirit Demons are also kinds of spirit, but a broad group of predatory beings that aren't defined as a species
As far as races that can be called a "species", these are the ones with defined names and champion representatives: - Humans - Minotaurs - Trolls - Yordles - Vastaya - Brackern - Yetis - Dragons After this things get more awkward cuz things are way less clear cut
Nah they specifically made minotaurs NOT be vastaya back when they originally created the classification. Minotaurs are more akin to humans than they are vastaya, given they're a mortal race where vastaya are not
Champions organized by their birth year I did this about a year ago so figured I'd touch it up some; few things needed to be re-examined
Thing is we canne assume all non-humans with animal features are vastaya because minotaurs exist as a mortal race And vastaya are an innately magical race, so not having outward expressions of magic feels telling, especially for Arcane's lot
And those are the ones I can say with confidence are their own thing There's others to and where do you even begin with them I love all of them obviously but I come from WoW where almost everything gets classified, and I am also a zoologist at heart
League's always weird to examine lorewise, and as much as I still have fun with it, stuff irks me, like the races You've got the 8 defined races of human, minotaur, brackern, yeti, yordle, vastaya, trolls and dragons And then just unclassified stuff that just exists somehow
