what does poro snacks do to your poro?

Every poro snack makes the poro bigger. If a poro eats 10 poro snacks in a single game, that poro will explode into a ton of many little poros. This requires everyone in the game to feed the same poro, though, so it's pretty rare that this happens.

Poros are needy creatures. They're also shallower than Thresh's sympathy pool. This is why they cling to the first person they see like fluffy little dingleberries, but immediately transfer their fickle loyalty to the next person wandering by with Poro Snax.

As cute as they are, they've got horribly low self-esteem. Seriously. You can pick one up and pitch it at a raging monster or a blazing bear, and less than half a minute later, it's back at your ankles, begging you to love it.

The advertising propaganda for Poro Snax brand biomass states:

This savory blend of free-range, grass-fed Avarosan game hens and organic, non-ZMO Freljordian herbs contains the essential nutrients necessary to keep your Poro purring with pleasure.

What can we infer from this? Poros are omnivores. These "treats" that bear a disturbing resemblance to patties that Hecarim or Alistar might distribute amongst the local flora are mashed-up birds and "herbs." What exactly are these herbs? They seem to be habit-forming, or at least appetite-inducing. Poros exhibit increased activity when they sense Poro Snax nearby, making a beeline for the holder while flapping their tongues about with greedy smiles. These herbs may also emit a euphoric or hallucinogenic aroma while they remain dry; once a poro has consumed the Poro Snax possessed by a League champion, any endearing attachment to that champion appears to wear off immediately, and the poro flees as if its very life is in danger.

All proceeds will be donated towards fighting Noxian animal cruelty.

Propagandists love irony.

Poros have very little self-control. This, combined with their self-esteem issues and augmented appetite from consumption of Poro Snax, results in a downward spiral of gluttony once they've consumed their first Poro Snax. They care less about self-preservation than they do about getting another nibble of those addictive "opiates made from grasses." Humanoids think they know so much about body issues. Can you imagine doubling your mass after a single meal? These poor creatures are so defenseless against these torturous temptations that they literally explode from overconsumption!

"But wait, isn't that how they reproduce?" some might ask. Consider this. Do they need to reproduce so quickly? Are they endangered? I'd say no. They're even less endangered than they were upon discovery. The little furballs used to die if they wandered into a fountain on one of the Fields of Justice. No longer! There are very few known ways for a poro to die.

• Blitzcrank's electric discharges can electrocute them
• Sejuani's poro mount (obviously engorged on Poro Snax) is more vulnerable than the general population
• Self-explosion by overeating

It appears that poro durability is inversely propritional to bodymass. Sejuani's mount is so large that it is no longer immune to fountain lasers. "Reproducing" poros are still deceased; the resulting "infants" are separate conscious entities. There are several animal species whose reproductive cycle involves parental death, but these are generally prey species. Poros have no known predators, so inducing exponential population growth may be considered unwise.

It gives you automatic wins in the poro mini game.
