Role: Melee Jungler with 'pets' Enjoys: Animals, The warmth of a bear's fur, Folktales. Dislikes: Overly-active animalist groups, Disobedience, Bear hugs. Looks: A heavy looking gentleman who somehow has a nice tan despite living in the frosty wastes that are the Freljord.

He wears less than the standard amount of clothing you would assume someone who lives in the cold would wear. He has a fingerless light leather glove on his left hand, has a hard leather gauntlet on his right arm. He also bears a small Poro tattoo on his left shoulder.

A bit of Lore for Ulvar:

One day as Ulvar was clearing his counter of crumbs from Porosnax, a local village boy came to his store, inquiring about his past travels through Valoran. Village Child: "Mister Ulvar sir? Could you tell me a story about the beasts you've seen throughout your travels through Valoran? Please?" Ulvar: "Beasts? No boy. I know of no such things..." Child: ".. But Mister Ulvar! You're lying to me! You have two wolves just over there!" Ulvar chuckles at this and replies: "Actually you are correct, I am a terrible liar. I know of beasts. In fact, there are many lurking all around us this very second! A hundred maybe even!" The child gawks at this reply and says: "A hundred?! Wow! . . But where are they?" Ulvar reclaims his stout posture once more, and replies in a more serious tone: "Why, they're all over the village my boy. You know many of them I'm sure!" Child: "I don't know about beasts! That's why I came to you Mister Ulvar." Ulvar: "Oh, but now who is the liar? You know of the worst beasts of all: Men and Women. Yes, of all the creatures throughout the wastes of Shurima-- all the abonimations in Zaun-- all the ferocious wildlife in the Kumungu-- and even the bears here, in the Freljord.. None are more beastly than men." Child: "I'm confused now... I thought bears, or wolves were beasts Mister Ulvar... Will I become a beast too?" Ulvar: "You might. Though, if you can learn to respect the animals and creatures around you as I do, perhaps then you won't be. Bah, but that's enough story-telling for today my boy! Come back tomorrow if you wish to ask me more about these so called 'Beasts'." The child nods and stomps off pretending to be a monster, as Ulvar is left with a smirk on his face and continues to clean his counter as he once was.

ABILITIES

Passive: Command Beast Ulvar has the unique ability to tame neutral jungle monsters to follow him and fight his enemies alongside him. While fighting a neutral monster camp, the monsters he is engaged in battle with will slowly respect him, eventually helping him fight. When Ulvar basic attacks a neutral small monster, but does not defeat it, all the monsters in the camp earn 10 points of respect towards him; if he basic attacks a large monster, 20 respect will be earned. At 200 respect on any monster excluding Dragon, Baron Nashor, and Vilemaw, the monster(s) will be considered 'defeated' and grant normal defeat rewards, including buffs, exp, and gold. Monsters with 200 respect for Ulvar will stay like this until they are defeated, and will help him attack targets automatically (similar to Elise spiders). Smiting a large monster will grant 50 bonus respect towards the neutral monster camp. If Ulvar has not earned respect recently for a camp (5 seconds) it will drastically begin to decrease back to 0. Ulvar does not have a limit of how many monsters he may have accompanying him, but too many may cause him problems. Beasts Ulvar has tamed retain 100% of their normal stats, and will earn Ulvar last hits if they kill an enemy. Scuttle-crabs do not gain respect for Ulvar, as they couldn't care less about him.

Q: Primal Challenge (Short Cooldown) Passively: Ulvar takes reduced damage from neutral monsters of any kind, including Dragon, Baron Nashor, and Vilemaw. Ulvar challenges an enemy unit, taunting it and forcing it to attack him which deals reduced damage. If the target is a neutral small monster: Respect for hitting this monster is doubled, 20. If the target is a neutral large monster: Respect for hitting this monster is doubled, 40. If the target is a minion or enemy champion, the taunt time is reduced and all of Ulvar's current beasts will attack the target if they can.

W: Mend Beasts (Medium Cooldown) Ulvar takes a moment to stop and care for the beasts he has accompanying him, healing them for 10%/12%/15%/18%/20% of their total HP over 5 seconds and giving them a 10%/13%/17%/20%/25% damage bonus which lasts 7 seconds. While channeling, Ulvar must stand still. A beast must be in a close range to him to receive treatment. If Ulvar is interrupted while channeling Mend Beast, the damage bonus will not be applied and the healing will immediately end.

E: Pack Leader (Very Short Cooldown) Commands Ulvar's current beasts to go to a location with 50% more movespeed, or retreat to him again (second cast). Beasts will actively seek out enemy targets down the path toward the selected location. If Ulvar enters the radius that his beasts were sent to, they will once again automatically reaccompany him (if in battle, they will not stop battle unless directed to another location), and this skill will have it's cooldown reset.

R: Beastly Frenzy (Passive) All of Ulvar's large monster beasts will have special effects as follows. Wolves will dash at enemies out of melee range, dealing 25% bonus damage. Raptors will detect nearby invisible enemies every few seconds. Golems will have increased defenses, and are immune to penetration effects. Gromp will poison enemies it attacks. Red Buff passively increases the damage done by other beasts by 10%, does not retain 'red buff' effect. Blue Buff has deals damage in an area of effect, does not retain 'blue buff' effect. Wraiths will detect nearby invisible enemies every few seconds. Leveling up this ability increases the effectiveness of these.

[Special Passive] Poros on the "Howling Abyss" map will follow Ulvar around, and Ulvar receives three extra Porosnax.
