[YOUSOCONCEPT] Vulfeynnax, the Tyrant Dragon
I've had this concept going for a while (as Plagueis), and I'm still looking for feedback.
Here's some music to get you in the mood:

General Design
Vulfeynnax (or Plagueis, as he is known by many) is a melee tank/mage designed to inflict massive amounts of poison damage to multiple targets in a fight, while being a terrifying monster to his enemies via disruption and sheer presence. As the former Dragon King, he seeks to return Runeterra to the Age of Dragons, and to this end desires the extinction of mankind. His hatred of humans is only exceeded by his hatred of the heir to his slayer: Leona.
Vulfeynnax goes by many names: Plagueis, Dreadwing, The Dragon of Desolation, The Dragon King, The Black Beast, etc. His Draconic name means "Dark Bane Cruelty".

Abilities
NOTE! - Vulfeynnax uses health for his costs, not mana.
P - Undying Hatred
Upon taking lethal damage, Vulfeynnax's body disintegrates into a cloud of noxious poison for 5 seconds. While in this form, he has increased movement speed and ignores unit collision. Any enemies who come in contact with the cloud are poisoned, taking 25+(7.5*level)+(5% of Vulfeynnax's bonus HP) magic damage per second over 2 seconds and receiving Grievous Wounds while poisoned. Continual exposure renews this poison.
Q - Death and Decay
Passive: Whenever Vulfeynnax kills a unit, he recovers 20/30/40/50/60 health (+2% of bonus health) over 5 seconds. (This effect can stack.)
Active: Vulfeynnax breathes a cone of dark fire (600 range), dealing 50/70/90/110/130 (+0.5 AP) initial magic damage and poisoning enemies hit, dealing an additional 10/20/30/40/50 (+0.1 AP) magic damage each second for 3 seconds.
Total damage: 80/130/180/230/280 (+0.8 AP) magic damage.
Costs 4% of current health. 8 second cooldown.
W - Merciless Tyrant
Vulfeynnax roars loudly after a short wind-up to demoralize nearby enemies (450 range), dealing 60/90/120/150/180 (+0.55AP) magic damage to all nearby enemies. Poisoned enemies struck by Merciless Tyrant are also feared for 1.25 seconds, causing them to run away from Vulfeynnax. If Vulfeynnax hits an enemy Champion or large monster with Merciless Tyrant, he also receives 20/30/40/50/60 bonus armor and magic resistance for 4 seconds.
Costs 5% of current health. 16/15/14/13/12 second cooldown.
E - Barren Flight
After a 0.5-second wind-up, Vulfeynnax dashes in a target direction (max. 800 range), knocking back enemies he passes through, dealing 40/55/70/85/100 (+0.3AP) magic damage on impact and poisoning them, dealing an additional 40/65/90/115/140 (+0.45AP) magic damage over 3 seconds.
Barren Flight's cooldown is reduced by 1 second whenever a nearby enemy unit dies (3 seconds if it is an enemy Champion).
Costs 8% of current health. 18/17/16/15/14 second cooldown.
R - Black Vortex
After a 1-second wind-up (cannot be interrupted), Vulfeynnax creates a brief but powerful vortex around himself that drags in all nearby enemies (600 range) to him. Afterwards, for the next 5 seconds, Vulfeynnax emits a poisonous field around himself (500 range). Enemies in the field are poisoned for 2 seconds, taking 80/115/150 (+0.3AP) magic damage each second. Continual exposure renews this poison.
No cost. 150/135/120 second cooldown.
Background
Pahlok joorre! Hin kah fen kos bonaar! (Arrogant mortals! Your pride will be humbled!) – Vulfeynnax
A mighty and terrible king of dragons, the black-winged beast Vulfeynnax is one of the most powerful beings ever to have lived upon Runeterra. Slain in ages long past, and now raised as an undead abomination, the Dracolich seeks to re-establish his rule over all others. To the dragon, domination has always been his birthright.
Thousands of years prior to the formation of the League of Legends, Vulfeynnax, called Plagueis the Vile by men and Yordles, roosted in the blackest peak of the Ironspike Mountains, a solitary mountain known as Death’s Spire. He and his kind, the dragons, had been charged since Runeterra's birth to watch over the world and its inhabitants. But following the Second Rune War, the dragons believed that humanity, the instigators of the war, had become far too unruly and threatened the stability of Runeterra. Vulfeynnax stepped forward, and decreed that humanity was to be subjugated. Humanity was no match for the dragons, and were forced to serve them as slaves. Vulfeynnax, who had led his brethren to victory over the humans, crowned himself the Dragon King, and took his place as ruler of Valoran.
For centuries, the dragon tyrant and his kin ruled over the mortal races of Valoran, and Vulfeynnax himself was worshipped by many as a living, yet terrible god. Any who challenged his rule met a terrible end, either at the hands of those loyal to the dragon, or at the dragon’s own might. Yet his rule inevitably met its end. A lone hero bearing the power of the sun rose to challenge Vulfeynnax. Overconfident, the dragon faced the hero in single combat. The decision would end in the dragon’s demise when the hero brought the very power of the sun crashing down on Vulfeynnax, burning him to ash and bone.
Countless centuries later, Vulfeynnax was raised from the dead by a powerful lich, who sought to enthrall the dragon king. Vulfeynnax, however, was incensed by the arrogance of this sorcerer, and defeated the attempt to control him. Yet the resurrection was detected by the Summoners of the Institute of War, who sought not only to control Vulfeynnax, but all dragonkind. The very notion of their plans infuriated Vulfeynnax, but with the dragons' numbers having dwindled over the ages, he knew he could not yet challenge mankind in open war.
Swearing his revenge on all mortalkind, Vulfeynnax fled Death's Spire before a battalion of stunned Summoners and Adjudicators, and flew to the south. Wherever he now roosts, it is clear he is formulating his plans to strike back at mankind, and return Runeterra to the age of the dragons, with himself once again as king.
