Malik - The Hunter Of The Moon [Full Lore/Abilities]

Malik - The Hunter of the Moon

The moon. There are those who serve it. There are those who devote their lives to it. There are those who use it's light to kill.

It was the warrior, Malik of the Lunari, who found himself truly able to bend the moon's power to his will. Although he did not know it at the time.

Malik and a contingent of the Lunari disciples were travelling back to the temple, thinking themselves invincible under the light of the moon. It was ignorance that led to their doom, as they refused to believe that there were other hunters of the moon who roam the lands. When the wolves appeared out of the trees and began slaughtering the disciples, Malik took to his horse and fled, leaving the remaining disciples behind to die.

Little did he know that it was the Lunari who won that fight. The sole survivor of the massacre lay on the ground bleeding from his wounds, the blood pouring out faster than the horse that led Malik further from the killing grounds. As the last disciple's soul began to departed from his body he let out one last cry for vengeance; a call to curse the one who fled from them when they needed him most.

Whether it was the moon, or nature, or even the Lunar Goddess herself, no-one could say. All that is known is that Malik fell from his horse as if struck off it by an arrow. The pain that rippled through his body brought his mind into the void of unconsciousness, and upon his awakening found himself back at the killing grounds in the form of the thing he had run from: A Wolf.

Malik wandered the wilds, finding within him a killer instinct. He was the fastest, the strongest, the most agile: A true hunter of the moon! There was no denying his unbelievable speed. Upon the call of night; the Lunari, who once thought themselves the warriors of the night, were the ones who quaked in fear. Malik was the true lunar disciple now.

It's been quiet. His search for challenging prey must have led him from this place. Hopefully far away.

May the souls who find themselves in his way beg for a quick death, as that is the best they can ask for anymore.

Abilities:

Passive Ability - Bloodlust Active One - Savage Active Two - Feral Instinct Active Three - Howl Ultimate Ability - On The Prowl

Passive - Bloodlust Passive/On-Hit The scent of blood puts Malik into a frenzy, granting him 2% (+0.12% x level) lifesteal for every 5% life Malik is missing, against bleeding targets.

Active One - Savage Active/On-Hit Malik jumps a short distance on his next basic attack to chomp down on a target, dealing 20/50/80/110/140 (+1.1 Bonus Attack Damage) physical damage and causing his target to bleed out severely over 6 seconds. The bleed damage is equal to 1 physical damage for every 7.0/6.5/6.0/5.5/5.0 health the target is missing per second.

Active Two - Feral Instinct Passive/Activate Malik passively picks up the scent of his target enemy champions, causing his attacks to reveal the target for 1.5 seconds. If the target enemy champion is bleeding out at the time the blood spilling out causes the scent to strengthen, causing the vision to last up to 4 seconds. Malik enhances his senses, giving himself 24/30/36/42/48 bonus movement speed while running towards a scented target and causing his attacks to deal 1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2% of the target's maximum health as bonus magic damage on-hit to enemies who have been marked by the 'Scent'. The enhanced senses can only be activated if at least one target champion has been scented, and only lasts for 4 seconds.

Active Three - Howl Active/Area Of Effect Malik lets loose a piercing howl, causing all enemies within a 500 AoE to take 60/100/140/180/220 (+0.35 Attack Damage, +0.5 Ability Power) magic damage. Any enemies facing away from Malik are slowed by 35/40/45/50/55% that decays over 1.5 seconds.

Ultimate Ability - On The Prowl Active/Self-Buff Malik loses control of himself fully, giving into the killer instinct for 8 seconds. He grows in size by 30%, gains 10% tenacity and gets 15/25/35% bonus attack speed. Malik's primal form grows, and with it so does his abilities:

Bloodlust: Gains the bonus lifesteal on every hit, regardless of if the target is bleeding or not, for the duration of On The Prowl. **Savage: **The leap range is increased from 250 to 550 for the duration of On The Prowl. Feral Instinct: The active becomes a temporary passive for the duration of On The Prowl. Howl: When activated, while under the effects of On The Prowl, causes enemies struck to run from Malik in terror for 1.5 seconds.
