Can we get a Freljord Champ based off of Tibetan Mastiffs?

I wonder if there couldn't be an even more massive version in the Freljord. And if we could get a champ of one? I think it would be really cool, and I'd really like to play as a dog, because dogs duh.

Is that a dog or a bear? Remind me never to go to Tibet.

The dog normally looks like this: http://cdn2-www.dogtime.com/assets/uploads/gallery/tibetan-mastiff-dog-breed-pictures/tibetan-mastiff-1.jpg This one in particular looks pretty fucked up tho.

They vary in size, but are usually a slight bit bigger than a lion.

You don't honestly believe these dogs are even remotely as big as a lion, do you? An average lion is a full foot taller at the shoulder and probably 200+ lbs heavier than these dogs. Tibetan's only weigh like 150ish lbs and aren't even the largest mastiff breed. The second picture you posted is a pretty poor photoshop as you can see the blurry spot where her head was in the original.

Actually standing on their hind legs they are generally equal to a lion. That's not photoshopped, that's a blurry picture with an out of focus background. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ohbSVxIfYRw/maxresdefault.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0a/a0/dc/0aa0dc7407780ef527185198882962bc--red-tibetan-mastiff-mastiff-dogs.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/3c/a4/c3/3ca4c38dfc180ec6a4cb0ef64305c7de--funny-dogs-cute-dogs.jpg Now you want an actual photoshopped image made to compare scale size? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N23Yn8F5LmY/hqdefault.jpg And btw there are 2 types of a Tibetan Mastiffs Do-khyi which are smaller and used for mobile jobs like the pic you showed. And Tsang-khyi like the pics I am showing which are larger and used for stationary jobs such as protecting herds from wolves, tigers, and bears. And even Do-khyi can stand at 7 feet tall on their hind legs, which is even to lions, and thats the smaller one.

They called him the Ogre-Wolf. He was a disgusting and imposing mixture of a bear, wolf and some other unknown mutations. He was captured and brought into the savage arenas of Noxus to be a fearful spectacle. Once hunted the dark, bewitched woods of the cursed shadow isles, he hunts now YOU!

We got 1-3 wolves, but a dog? Nope. I'm definitely up for this.

Well, when Warwick uses his joke, he suddenly turns into a good boy, so....

TerozuJul 31, 20171 votes

But Warwick is based on a fox now not a dog.

Ithil SnekAug 1, 20171 votes

In its lore, it is said that he is originally human and that his body has been randomly mixed with few animals; wolves, foxes for its tail and bats for its ears.

TerozuAug 1, 20171 votes

No the ears and tail are both fox like. In the Ask Riot they said they took inspiration from fennic foxes for them. But that he has a lot of animal DNA.

What the fuck are your sources? Do you even have sources at all or you just made this up?

“Every werewolf has been done," says visual designer Larry "TheBravoRay" Ray. "I spent a lot of time thinking, ‘How can we make him our own?’" The solution TheBravoRay came to was to focus on the fact that Singed wasn’t trying to turn Warwick into a wolf specifically—he was gene-splicing. He put all sorts of hyper-monster DNA in there, and the result is something more akin to a chimera. Warwick has bat ears, a longer fox-like tail, and chemical machinery to tie him to Zaun.

This is directly from the Warwick Champion Reveal. Warwick is a chimera. Period.

TerozuAug 1, 20171 votes

I never said he wasnt a chimera, but an ask Riot sid he was largely inspired by fennec foxes. https://fthmb.tqn.com/HTgyAhWJNTAxzhQoW1QsCcXlW0g=/960x0/filters:no_upscale()/about/fennec-fox-85120553-57ffe0d85f9b5805c2b03554.jpg And thats what they look like. https://www.sciencedaily.com/images/2008/09/080904102756_1_900x600.jpg Thats what bat ears look like. https://lolstatic-a.akamaihd.net/frontpage/apps/prod/rg-warwick-update-2017/en_US/5063726749849be9f632934e9d54622c69e6ce98/assets/img/ww_base_logo.jpg And thats what ww looks like. His ears are clearly fennec inspired not bat...

I just put the citation from the OFFICIAL WARWICK REVEAL made by RIOT GAMES on THEIR OWN WEBSITE Meanwhile you talk about an Ask Riot I have never heard of and without posting any sources. Plus, none of the two pictures you posted have ears similar to Warwick's, and you didn't even realized there might be more than one specie of bats. Post your sources, otherwise I'll consider your arguments as wrong.

Nasus is a dog. Renekton is a crocodile. Volibear is a bear. Kindred is a Lamb (basically). Warwick is a wolf. Ahri is a fox. Swain, Xayah and Rakan are birbs. Rengar and Nidalee are cats. Twitch is a rat. Nami is a fish. Kench is a fat demon. Vel'Koz is a tentacle monster. Annie is underage. Orianna and Blitz are robots. Aurelion Sol is a space dragon. Zac is goo. Ivern and Maokai are trees. Jhin is perfection. Pantheon is a baker. Ezreal is garbage.

As you can see, we got a lot of champions. We don't need more dogs.
