Ideas for Lunar Revel "Chinese New Years" animal skins!

As seen in a recent Reddit Post, it's basically confirmed that Nasus will get this years Lunar Revel/Warring Kingdoms skin since this is the year of the dog. However this made me think about potential candidates for the upcoming themed skins and this is what I cam up with. Here's the calendar depicting the cycle of the animals:

#Pig

Sejuani Ok so the first one that sprung to mind was Sejuani. Since we don't really have any pig champions, Bristle her boar, shared the closest resemblance. Would make for a cool skin tbh, like a Chinese battle boar! Yasuo Self explanatory...


#Rat

Twitch Fits perfectly, cuz y'know... he is a rat... and he already has this sick concept art: https://pre00.deviantart.net/221b/th/pre/f/2017/272/d/3/d3791fa5ef51b363169f2a52eb91fff3-dbox0bl.jpg


#Ox Alistar Bulls are oxes, right? Ornn Ox horns, check. Would make for a good skin, though.


#Tiger Rengar Ok, this one was a little bit trickier since we don't have a Tiger champ as far as I'm aware (suprisingly since it's such a cool concept), so I thought our beloved feline would take the place. Gnar I mean, he kinda looks like a tiger. Although he also looks like a gorilla as well as a boar... Not to sure on this one. Nidalee This would be sick as hell honestly. Nida has such good skin potential in general.


#Rabbit Teemo Oh the rabbit, another trope that isn't explored yet, would be cool to see a future rabbit champion hopping across the rift. I imagine any cutesy yordle really in a rabbit costume, idk.


#Dragon AurelionSol Will this guy finally get a skin after 4 years!? Shyvana Inb4 she steals it...


#Snake Cassiopeia I mean... She's already got one right? Are there any more snakes?


#Horse Hecarim Only option as long as Riot stop click baiting us with Xin's horse in all of his splash arts.. Soraka She has hooves ok!?


#Goat Ornn On second thought, this guy probably belongs here more since hes a Ram... Braum Tryna think out of the box here guys... He's got a shield with a goat on it lol.


#Monkey MonkeyKing Disregarding all Riven one tricks in my solo q games, this guy is the only monkey on the rift. To be fair, it would suprise me if Riot even continued this skin series after the Goat skin, can't go around with two radiating apes.


#Rooster Xayah Rakan Highly unlikely because of what I wrote on the one above, but this theme would be sick for these 2. I need this. Quinn Kinda fits as well, although Roosters can't fly... Valor... Kled Would be hilarious with a befeathered Skaarl. Can we just have a rooster skin seriers?


#Dog

Nasus Probably this dude. Warwick This guy could de cool as hell, he's a good boy in my book. KogMaw Void puppy. Puppy. Dog. No?


Ok I think these were all, tell me if I missed any and I'll add em to the list. Also if you guys have any ideas make sure to write em. Other candidates that would be cool but doesn't really fit in a specific year would be Taliyah cuz she would look sick in some asian robes, and Udyr since he's basically a zoo within a hobos robes. Either way, happy new year everyone!

Nidalee already has a warring kingdom skin

Teemo and Fizz have cottontail skins, so yordles have been dressed up in rabbit costumes. The cottontail skins also seem to be for the yordles most people hate.

I propose Azir for rooster year and Ahri for the dog year (Foxes are canines)

The champion zodiac shirt from Riot Games might be relevant here. It supports many of your choices. https://na.merch.riotgames.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/570x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/l/r/lr_tee_2017_mock_rengar_version.png

Nasus dog Sejuani pig Twitch rat Alistar ox Rengar tiger Riven rabbit (lack of rabbit champ made them chose her because of battle bunny skin) AurelionSol dragon Cassiopeia snake Hecarim horse Kindred goat (because lamb, but Ornn didn't exist back then, he might be a better choice) MonkeyKing monkey Azir rooster

So many of your predictions for the next year seem highly likely.
