Lyathon The Redeemer
Lore:
The canidaes were once a very peaceful race living deep in the forests which grow around the earthy banks of the serpentine river they lived as one with nature, only eating what they can grow and catch from the wild. Not many people knew much about this secretive race until now; they have become outlaws in every district around Runeterra. One of their high council leaders Lyathon was outraged at this decision. He wants this to change, with the help of the Canidae council they have devised a plan to stop this madness.
Lyathon is the king of the foxes who wishes to clear the name of all Canidae creatures. They were once a beloved race who lived hand in hand with the ancient races of Runeterra, however this has now changed. The one the call Warwick has brought terror to the lands. The Canidae race is no longer trusted because of this. Lyathon has set out to change this. He wishes to hunt down the vile scum which brought shame upon his beloved race; he is prepared to stop anyone is his way.
Information: Lyathon is a AD champion which is melee, he is best built tanky. Top laner. *His counter would be a champion who has high mobility that can escape from his stuns and ult. He is a fox which can summon other canine creatures to assist him. Lyathon fits in with the lore.

Most of my time making this champion was putting thought into the abilities. I didn't want to create this super op champion, but however I wanted to create this balance majestic being. He as a stun, and a slow (Different from most champions atm who have knockups or knockbacks)
Model Ideas:
- A fox structure like Nidalee in cougar form, but textures like this -
(Stole from this guy: http://tinyurl.com/q3olvn6)
- Obviously on all fours
- Long fluffy Tail
- Claws
- Big white teeth
(The really obvious stuff a fox should have)
Background Information:
Canidae's are a classification of canines. These include foxes, wolves, jackals, coyotes and dogs. Wanted something to do with a pact of wolves/foxes etc to reinforce the canidae group where they work together in pact. People have been saying Lyathon is a bruiser Nidalee, although Nidalee does not deal aoe damage and has a slow and a stun. Lyathon is also constantly in Fox form. So he is very different.
About Me:
I have played Warwick for a long time (Well I used too when I was leveling from 1-30) He was my go-to champion and I really liked him. However I miss how champions fit in with other champions and how they created the awesome lore. Any feedback would be appreciated. I have a lot more ideas too!
TL;DR Lyathon is one of the high councilors of a ancient race called the Canidaes who have been living in peace of harmony until Warwick gave them a bad name and made everyone dislike the race. Lyathon has set out to put an end to Warwick.
