Spirit Guard Udyr Rework Concept

Talking about Udyr usually leads to the realization of this skin being one of the many reasons for Riot to leave Udyr as it is. If this champion were to be released today, it would be Spirit Guard or at least incredibly similar. In order for the rework and the skin not to overlap, I present this concept of changes that could be made so SGU keeps the Ultimate Skin title, coexisting with a reworked Default skin.

Having SGU in your team could modify both the map and even the taunts, jokes or dances of some of your fellow champions, but how would this work?

Spirit Sanctuaries

Where the Spirit Guardian goes, Spirit Sanctuaries appear, structures made of rock or wood that appear in walls or trees without being obstacles or interactuable. Inside any of these sanctuaries, an animal Spirit Appears floating over it, and by using any ctrl+number action, the spirit posesses that champion, leaving the sanctuary devoid of spirits for up to 2 minutes.

Posessed?

Yes, posessed. having Udyr become one with one of these spirits by interacting with any of the sanctuaries changes part of his body to resemble said spirit, while keeping top chest, arms and head in constant transformation with each use of any of his stances, but only with characteristics of the final forms, that right now you can only see while maxing any skill on SGU.

This would lead to having Udyr become strange beings, like half tiger and half monkey, or half phoenix and half wolf and also being able to summon different animal spirits during Jokes, Taunts, Dances or even recall

But how would we differentiate Udyr's current form?

Apart of the stance related part of his body, the Spirit animals could remain floating behind Udyr until their related 3 hit passive has been procced once, clarly signaling what form he is while also making use of these interesting spirit models.

How would posession affect the ally?

Posession on an ally would mean that the Ctrl+number command it used in front of the sanctuary (Joke, Taunt, Dance or Laught) would be replaced by an emote where the character would remain in idle stance while the animal spirit manifest from behind it, and sometimes, instead of a normal voiceline of said champion/skin, it would make an animal noise related to the spirit, in a clearly audible way for those that are close and have vision of the posessed champion.

How can i get rid of the current spirit animal?

Emoting in front of an habited Spirit Sanctuary dispells the current spirit and substitutes it by the one inside the Sanctuary, leaving the Sanctuary inhabited and in a 2 minute cooldown, emoting in front of an inhabited Sanctuary simply dispells the current posession. This works for both Udyr and Allies
