[Champion Concept] Canis Umbran, the Alpha Shadow Beast

SSmotzer··6 votes·3,276 views

Once the caretaker of the menagerie on the Blessed Isles, but now Canis is as twisted and bestial as the animals it controls. It's body now consists of pieces of the beasts that were bested by Canis's pack. Canis now prowls Runeterra in search for more beasts to add to it's undead pack.

Melee Fighter/Assassin

Passive - Leader of the Pack: Allied units behind Canis gain additional movement speed and deal additional damage to Canis's attack target.

Q - Rip and Tear: Canis will leap in a target direction, slashing in a cone when Canis lands, dealing physical damage and shredding a portion of the armor of enemies hit, for a few seconds. Beasts under Canis's command will also leap to Canis's location, dealing additional damage.

W - The Cursed Hunt: Canis and it's beasts will shed their physical form, gaining bonus movement speed, camouflage, and become ghosted for a few seconds. When Canis and it's beasts reform their physical bodies, they will cause enemies around them to flee for 1 second. Taking direct damage while camouflaged will cause Canis to become stunned and immediately reform, without causing enemies to flee.

E - Add to the Collection - Passive: Canis collects a piece of the body of any large jungle creatures it kills. Killing a large jungle creature adds a stack of Bones, up to a cap.

  • Feast of Bone - Active: Canis throws a Bone in a target direction, dealing physical damage to enemies hit and causing the beasts under it's control to dash after it, knocking away and dealing physical damage to enemies in their path. When the beasts reach the end of their dash they are healed for a portion of their max health.

R - Decrepit Bestiary - Unlocked at Level 1 - Passive: Large jungle monsters killed by Canis are resurrected as pets, up to a cap. Stronger creatures will replace weaker creatures.

  • Commanding Howl - Active: Canis howl, commanding the beasts under it's control to move and/or attack. If Canis has no beasts under it's control, two astral wolves will be summoned, however they can only be summoned once every few minutes.

Enemies: Udyr Illaoi Prey: Warwick Rengar Alistar Volibear MonkeyKing

Really cool concept

What exactly does the ult active do??

SSmotzer1 votes

Like controlling Tibbers or Daisy.

Maybe make that a bit clearer in the description? Also, does this have a cooldown or nah?

SSmotzer1 votes

Commanding them has no cooldown, just like controlling Tibbers or Daisy, but summoning the free dogs does have a cooldown.

Art sources? Also why does the skin turn him into a girl?

FrenkP on Deviantart, it's of the Capra Demon from Dark Souls. Canis is a girl, she just possesses animal parts in a humanesque shape, the skin is just her before she got all zombied up.

The first one is literally shirtless and can clearly be seen as a male due to the lack of breasts and jacked arms. Still love the concept though, but it would kind of make Mordekaiser obsolete. https://yt3.ggpht.com/-H2q1z1qOak4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/k2kwrhv6T50/s900-c-k-no-mo-rj-c0xffffff/photo.jpg

That's not her chest. She is a ghost, possessing random meat bits to look scary, and boobies are not scary.

Yeah, but Mordekaiser is obsolete, and he will be getting a rework eventually, besides, she only controls animals, Mord controls people, it is different.

Morde's human ghosts tend to be pretty useless, usually only his dragons have impact. This champion controls dragons and more.

SSmotzer1 votes

Yeah, but Mord's current ability to control the dragon doesn't make a lot of sense to his character, who is all about controlling people in order to overthrow the Ruined King.

Let's face it, Mord is going to get a completely new ult in the future, and that will leave room for someone who can control the dragon.

So basically epic monsters become your pets when they die? RIP Mordekaiser.

Also the first image is a male and the bottom image is a female. I'm confused.

SSmotzer1 votes

Mord had it coming.

Oh, Canis is a girl ghost and she is possessing random meat bits from animals to look absolutely terrifying, and boobies aren't scary. Her W even makes the meat fall off.

Sounds horrifying. I like it!
