#Lore Deep within the harsh landscape of the Kumungu Jungle, there exists a plethora of lost knowledge. Artifacts and relics of countless ages forever abandoned, only to be found by the brave - and foolish - adventurer. Some believe that in the heart of the fiendish jungle exists a sporadically populated tribe of savages, led by their fiercest findsman: Thule.

A warrior of supernatural strength and ferocity, Thule’s speed is only matched by his relentless will to outlast his opponents. With his sharpened bludgeon in hand, he defends his peoples’ territory with tooth and claw. Few are able to live long enough to tell the tale of such a savage. While Thule was pleased with his attempts at protecting his people, he craved bloodshed and thus ventured out on a crusade to stop any from venturing into the sacred lands.

It was only a matter of time before he learned of the Fields of Justice, and like the Bestial Huntress herself, Thule joined to protect the jungle from Noxus and Demacia. However, deep down he and few wise intellects knew the truth. He did not come as a defender, but rather, a murderer.

##Dance: Thule impales his weapon into the earth before performing a dance reminiscent of an Aztec fire dance. A video of this can be seen here. Namely view 0:24 - 1:43 for a general idea of the dance (@ 0:25, Thule performs an animalistic roar similar to the shout in the video).

#Skin Selection

• Base Thule: Thule is an imposing and large man of supernatural strength; however, his body is not needlessly bulky but rather, leaner than one might think. He has a powerful core and slightly hunched forward stance. He wears a dull white skull for a mask, with red streaks painted down the front over the eye sockets. His piercing yellow eyes are barely seen within. At the back of the skull are mismatched colored plumage from exotic wildlife that he has collected. He does not wear any armor on his torso, and bears many scars and tribal markings. On his wrists and feet are deeply brown fur pelts with metallic bands and studs across them, and he wears worn cloth pants with a pelt and decoration lining his waist and legs. In this skin, he wields a macuahuitl, a large flat bludgeon with serrated shards jaggedly lining the edges. When recalling, Thule drops to one knees, rips grass from the earth, sniffs its scent thoroughly, before the wind blowing it away from his grasp.
• Candy Skull Thule: A more festive and bubbly look, Thule's look changes dramatically. His skull mask becomes like that of a candied skull, with bright dots and swirls wrapping around the eyes and face; his sinister amber eyes become a pleasant blue color. On his chest he wears a lightly colored pancho with elaborate patterns of rich color. His weapon shifts to that of a pinata bat, as well. He wears a jean-like pair of breeches with cowboy boots, and hanging on his back by a strap is a sombrero. When recalling, a small Teemo pinata appears before Thule. He violently beats it up, scattering candy and everywhere before he begins tearing it apart with his bare hands.
