Druid Malzahar

So my friend mains Malzahar and has been constantly whining about wanting a green Malzahar skin.

We were brainstorming 'green' Malzahar skins and besides 'Neon Malzahar' which I felt was an obvious stretch I came up with 'Druid Malzahar'. Rather than the typical purple robe garb he would have earth tones such as brown and grey but with green as the primary highlight of his color scheme.

His passive would summon some sort of forest creature after so many abiliites. I think a black bear would fit the best.

His Q would cause a quick lightning flash in the same shape as the current Q. There would be an initial graphic effect followed by the flash of the actual lightning. This isn't really animal based but is still 'nature' themed. My other idea was that two trees burst out on each side of the gate with spider webbing in between. There could even be an animation of two spiders crossing diagonally from the tops of each tree to the bottom of the other. This kind of works but I think of slows when I think of webs, not silences.

His W would create a large insect swarm (perhaps ants) instead of the typical void circle.

His E would be yet another insect swarm, perhaps a swarm of bees.

His R would be Malzahar shooting a vine out of his hand and impaling an enemy with it. The vine animation would keep flowing through the enemy for the duration of the effect perhaps going into the ground behind them. This would make sense as a suppression ability I feel.

So that's my idea. What do you guys think?
