He is literally a giant anthropomorphic puppy.

His joke emote references scooby doo.

He is a giant werewolf boi.

Are you ok?

Ok so you're telling me wolves aren't the predecessors of dogs?

Concerta 18mg thinks Lux and Nasus are dogs in the year of the dog.

Nasus is actually a dog.

HethaleanFeb 10, 20181 votes

Jackal. He's a jackal. https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/champion/nasus/ "Nasus is an imposing, jackal-headed Ascended being from ancient Shurima, a heroic figure regarded as a demigod by the people of the desert."

If Nasus counts as a dog because he's a jackal (which is a canine but not a domesticated wolf aka dog), then Warwick counts as a transformed anthropormorphic dog aka werewolf.

Old warwick would absolutely count as a dog- but the modern version isn't actually a canine. That sounds confusing, but he's a chimera of a variety of creatures including bat and some kind of feline. If he counts as a dog, then he counts as a human, a bat, and a cat. Sure, go with that.

Nasus is a half jackal (a canine, but not a wolf (aka wild dog)) half human. I'm down for Nasus being a dog, but so is WW. lol Dog is commonly just referring to canines.

TerakaliFeb 10, 20181 votes

So, by your own admission, Warwick would logically be a feline and a bat as well, right?

HethaleanFeb 10, 20181 votes

I'm not sure where the feline comes in, or the bat. He doesn't have bat features. The bone facial structure. He doesn't have cat claws, or features. Where do you get feline or bat? Warwick is basically a werewolf.

TerakaliFeb 11, 20181 votes

During his debue, it was referenced that he was a chimera. The only obvious components of bats would be his ears, but the feline qualities are actually more obvious with the structure of his legs and claws.

HethaleanFeb 11, 20181 votes

Cats have retractable claws. Wolves do not. Warwick doesn't have retractable claws. Cats and dogs just have too similar of leg structure beyond that. That speaks to me wolf not cat due to the lack of cat like retractable claws. As for the ears, it could possibly be batlike, but it's more werewolf like to me. Werewolves typically have those elongated/batlike ears as well.

After rereading his release, they do say he has bat ears and fox tail. So yes, if I am thinking that Nasus is a canine because he has a jackal head, then he'll be a fox / bat as well as a werewolf (which his champion release says he is)

Cats have retractable claws. Wolves do not. Warwick doesn't have retractable claws.

He actually does, WW's mechanical right hand's claw actually does have extend and retract capabilities.

Dun

DUNNNNNNNNNNNN

If Nasus counts as a dog because he's a jackal (which is a canine but not a domesticated wolf aka dog), then Warwick counts as a transformed anthropormorphic dog aka werewolf.

Jackals are a species of dog...

HethaleanFeb 10, 20181 votes

Well, so are wolves. If by dog you mean canine. ESPECIALLY since dogs are domesticated wolves long long ago. If warwick doesn't count because he's a tortured morphed monster that's a werewolf, then idk how an ascended being that just has the head of a jackal counts.

TerozuFeb 11, 20181 votes

Jackals are an alternate breed of wild dog, same as wolves. Dog is synonymous with canine.

HethaleanFeb 11, 20181 votes

so uh... you and i agree? lol If jackals are a dog which make Nasus a dog, WW is a dog since he's a werewolf monster.

TerozuFeb 11, 20182 votes

You said nasus isnt a dog in your first post.

HethaleanFeb 11, 20181 votes

I thought that I was obviously being sarcastic and mocking the OP. Since you have to work SO HARD to consider Nasus a dog, but not WW, that was my bad assuming people would pick up on that. lol You even responded to me when I said essentially "If nasus is a dog, then so is WW" that combined with I didn't just straight up agree with OP "Yeah! what are they crazy and they think Nasus is a dog" that I feel it should have been one of those things that it was obvious that I consider both canines.

"My bite is worse than my bark."

Literally nasus quotes.

He's a dog

HethaleanFeb 10, 20181 votes

I never said he wasn't. I was suggesting that WW is.

Also... warwick quotes "Who's a good boy? I am!" "Scratch behind my ears... " "I'll do a trick for a Warwick snack!" (and more dog like references)

My original post was sort of just using the OP's logic in a mocking way. Because Nasus is a Jackal which isn't technically dog, and just because he has quotes about referencing dogs, they're just funnier vs referring to his duality of a jackal (canine not domesticated wolf aka dog) human ascended being. Jackals, dogs, and wolves belong to the same genus which is canis) but different species.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackal has a good graphic showing the relationship between the canines.

Player3Th0masFeb 11, 20181 votes

You never mentioned Warwick. Anywhere.

HethaleanFeb 11, 20181 votes

I never specifically said the word warwick in my more mocking comment, no. However, that's the point of the sarcasm of my first point. Using his logic to apply to Nasus which he was suggesting was a dog (even though I guess he didn't specifically say it), I was pointing out that if you think Nasus is a dog, then WW is as well. It's calling into question his original premise by using the same thing on the other ones.

Also, as for never saying it anywhere, you actually replied to this response to your original

{quoted}

If Nasus counts as a dog because he's a jackal (which is a canine but not a domesticated wolf aka dog), then Warwick counts as a transformed anthropormorphic dog aka werewolf.

I feel like that counts as mentioning Warwick.
