Amidst the vast pantheon of Buhru lore, most of the Serpent Isles' bizarre demigods are oft forgotten beneath Nagakabouros' imposing bulk. However, this does not apply to Mauru, the Crab God, the vain and cruel patron of the selfish and dishonest. Scuttling his way through Buhru tradition and myth, Mauru has been a continuous thorn in the side of the Serpent isles' pious elite. A trickster, swindler, and thief, Mauru's lust for all things that glimmer and shine are without equal - as is his taste for mortal flesh. Long ago, it was Mauru who plucked the briliant Eye of God from the first Truth Seeker, and it took seven days and seven nights for her to retreive it from his jewel-encrusted lair beneath the sea, so legendary was their battle. His shell is adorned with the loot of a thousand conquests, strong enough to shatter any blade that strikes it. For Mauru is the Scavenger, the Man-Eater, He Who Glitters Beneath the Waves, and nothing will stand between him and the treasure he desires so fervently. In game, Mauru takes the role of a beefy initiation tank who roams the map in search of treasure to add to his shell, using his formidable bulk to keep entire teams at bay.

##Ability Notes:

Mauru's shell will visibly grow more and more adorned with Treasure the more he collects.
Treasure spawns at roughly the same rate as Bard's chimes, but remember that there is a cap.
Once Mauru digs up treasure, he does not immediately collect it. The treasure will remain at the location for Mauru to walk over it. Treasure can take the form of many things - coins, cups, jewels, golden objects, its up to your imagination, really.
All 3 Mythic Treasures are guaranteed to spawn at least once throughout the game, although they will disappear if Mauru does not manage to collect them.

#W: Hunker Down / Shell Leap http://i.imgur.com/l8BTGSN.png

##Ability Notes:

While burrowed, Mauru is still visible to other players. His eyestalks and the top part of his shell will be revealed.
If Mauru happens to burrow onto a spot of Treasure, he will immediately collect it, although, since burrowing takes much longer than digging up Small, Medium, and Large Treasures, this is not always useful.

#E: Shiny! http://i.imgur.com/F6sZ2cb.png

##Ability Notes:

1200 is the normal vision range of a champion, and so essentially all Treasure within Mauru's vision radius will grant him the bonus movement speed.

#R: Scavenger's Curiosity http://i.imgur.com/1X4fHRO.png

##Ability Notes:

Mauru can move between casts so long as he remains within range.
The second claw is a targeted ability, which works a little like Yasuo's ultimate - it can only be casted on airborne enemies, but instead of keeping them airborne, it will drag them to an area directly in front of himself.

#Quotes: (Jemaine Clement would be my first choice, obviously)

Upon selection

'Greedy' is a word people use when they are jealous.

After being banned:

_ Fine! All the more time to spend with_ my treasure.

Upon starting a game:

Why not just give all your gold to me? It's not like any of you need it or anything.

Ugh, only five hundred? Oh, you poor mortals.
I had almost forgotten how stingy you mortals are.
I'll eat a couple and steal from the rest.

Movement:

I make ten legs look effortless, don't I?

Dry land is so drab.
I'm only here for the gold.
(grumbling) I came all the way up from the Serpent Isles....for this?
Shiny, shiny, shiny.
There has got to be something worth wearing around here.
Ooh, look at me sparkle.
Diamonds can't compare with the likes of me.
Pearls hide under shells. I flaunt my beauty for all to see.
Why, yes, I do enjoy talking about myself.
The sea is where I belong.
Marvelous, no?
I am stunning.
I think I have......someone.....in my.....teeth.
Standing still and doing nothing is underrated.
LIfe is the glimmer of gold and the sparkle of gems.
Is it too much to ask to ask for all the wealth in the world?
My shell is much too beautiful to be a burden.
One's worth scales directly with how much they have to offer me.
If I can't find anything, I'll steal instead.
(scoffing) No, I'm quite sure it's called stealing, not borrowing.
Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left.
Let's see if there's anything worth digging up in this dump.
I wasn't always this beautiful, you know....

Attacking:

Can't I just have all your gold and call it a day?

(sarcastically) Wow, look, another mortal I couldn't care less about.
Fighting back is futile, so let's at least try and make this fun.
Ever seen someone so shiny?
Soak it in, mortal; it's the last you'll ever see.
You only wish you were as brilliant as me.
Bask in my glow - while you can.
Don't get in the way.
You don't look very tasty, but I suppose you'll have to do.
I will tear you to shreds.
Why do you not fall down in awe?
Compose your pleas for mercy while you still can.
It would be difficult to make you any uglier than you already are.
Let's finish this later.
Run away, mortal.
You mess with the crab, you get the claws.
I'll outlive you anyways.
Ugh, I'm better than this.
My beauty will be the last thing you ever see.
Don't tango with a partner that has ten legs.
Over here, lackwit.
Run along now and cower.

While digging Treasure:

Yes, yes.....so close now.....

Finally, something of interest.
Let's hope this one is nice and.....shiny.....
I can't wait to see what it is!

Collecting Treasure:

Another for the collection.

I grow only stronger.
My beauty only grows.

Equipping Golden Claws:

These look very nice.

Equipping Golden Shell:

Does this make my carapace look fat?

Equipping Golden Legs:

There's a new spring in my scuttle.

Upon casting Claw Slash:

Take that!

I wasn't done with you, mortal.
Where do you think you're going?

Upon burrowing:

A welcome respite.

My shell weathers all.
I am invincible.

Upon casting Shell Leap:

Heads up!

Look out below, mortals!
Oooh, this is going to hurt in the morning.

Upon casting Shiny!:

My beauty is blinding.

It's not just for show - oh, what am I kidding.
Brilliant, aren't I?

Upon casting Scavenger's Curiostiy:

I love watching them squirm.

Not so fast, mortals.
Come here; let me get a look at you.
You need to be closer to appreciate my beauty.
You cannot hide from me.

Taunt:

I will dip your corpse in gold and string it from my shell.

Try your hardest, mortal - none have penetrated my shell.
Don't worry, I'll add your corpse to my collection.
You aren't brilliant enough to warrant my attention anyways.

Taunting an enemy Ahri:

Your beauty is as brittle and fragile as you are, skinchanger.
I don't know what that key does, but it will soon be mine.

Taunting an Amumu:

Friendship is an illusion.
Find yourself something shiny to gawk at, and 'friends' will quickly flock to your side, child.
Friends are overrated. I've never had any and look how happy I am!

Taunting an enemy Aurelion Sol:

I'll take that crown of yours, Sol.
Starlight pales in comparison to my brilliance.

Taunting an Azir:

Being an emperor and all, you wouldn't happen to have any gold, would you?

Taunting an enemy Bard:

Your chimes are as hollow and irritating as you are, Caretaker.
That horn of yours will soon be mine.

Taunting a Camille:

You had the perfect chance to have legs made of gold, and you threw it away.
Only fools dedicate themselves to the hollow premise of duty.

Taunting an enemy Diana:

I outshine even the moon, child.
That blade of yours will look nice on my shell.

Taunting an enemy Ezreal:

What's the point of exploring if you don't get anything out of it?
You don't need a map to find a being as brilliant as I, child.

Taunting an enemy Gangplank:

The mighty pirate king of Bilgewater....a bearded drunkard with a drab hat, more like.
Your avarice is commendable, but you lack implementation.
A boring lover for an equally boring Truth Seeker.

Taunting an allied Illaoi:

_ This alliance is temporary, I assure you._
Enjoy my beauty while you can, Truth Seeker.
No, this does not mean I will take one of your redundant 'tests'.

Taunting an enemy Illaoi:

Hand over the Eye and I'll let you slink back with your tentacle between your legs.
How's ol' Nagaky doing these days, Illaoi?
We have both covered ourselves with the markings of our respective quests.
How exactly will tentacles help you against a gold-plated shell?
