Terka and Ig (Pet Champion Concept)
Inspired by linked Video
Table of contents Story Stats Spells Thoughts
In Ionia Peace, tranquility, and virtue are common however in the deep mountains these traits do not equal a full belly. Terka was a young boy in Noxus born to a family who was recognized as powerful by all. Terka however, wasn't as powerful as the rest of his family seen as a frail boy who loved the animals and small amount of nature in Noxus. His family saw that as weak, the son of one of the most powerful families in Noxus, wishes to play with animals made for war. Terka was not allowed to be out often due to what his parents saw as weakness so not many knew of his existence. Terka's family could not allow a weakling to taint the family name.
So they traveled with him to Ionia, for what he thought was a scouting mission. As he was there he heard a loud noise inside of a forest he quickly looked to find out what it was but saw nothing. As he turned around to speak to his parents he realized.....they were gone and now he was all alone.
Days later, hungry, saddened, lonely, Terka was on the brink of starvation when heard something inside of the forest. He goes to find out what it is hoping that it was his parents or someone who had come to save him. What he saw was an animal that He'd never seen before, however this animal was injured. He Slowly approaches it in an attempt to help it, but it only growls at him. He knows the baby animal is scared just as he is, so he continues to slowly approach the animal. He holds out his hand in attempt to earn the animals trust. Only growls come from the animal, as he removes his shirt in order to stop the bleeding coming from the animal. He succeeds in patching up the animal, but it snaps at him immediately following. He stumbles backwards and hits a tree, miraculously the one tree that he hit contains fruit that falls onto his lap. Knowing how hungry he is and the animal as well, he decides to split it and offer it to the animal. The animal may eat him, but without the energy to run he knows that this is all he can do. The animal limps towards Terka, and cautiously attempts to bite the fruit in his hand. The animal takes it.
However he hears a howl coming closer. Out from the bushes a dozen of the same animal, that now surround Terka. As the new animals approach Terka with bloodlust in their eyes, the animal lays down on Terkas lap and howls. The animals still approach Terka and are only a few feet from him. A few of them make way for another one to come, however this one is a bit bigger than the others and it begins walking to Terka. Terka knows that this is the end of him. As the Larger animal is front of him it opens of enormous mouth......and drops a few fruit in front of him. All of the animals howl, Terka is confused and scared still. The animals do nothing but stare at him, looking as if they are waiting. He sees the look they all have and he believes there is only one thing that he should do. He howls in desperation that he guessed correctly, all of the other animals howl loudly as well. He has been accepted into the pack.
Older and now having a stronger relationship with Ig the animal he met long ago, Terka and Ig fight side by side to fend of invaders of the packs territory. Terka and Ig are often the go to team when it comes to hunting for food as well. With their synergy and combo attacks they easily can provide for themselves and for the pack. Over the years the two have felt their bond become stronger with each passing day. The two no longer see each other as partners, more so the part that the other is missing. In the mystic lands of Ionia strong bonds can lead to mysterious things, Legends say that two beings can combine to become one. With the bond Terka and Ig share, they may one day be able to complete this task.

Sorry if I forgot to put anything Let me know what you think
Thought process for Terka and Ig If always liked the idea of a pet champion but seeing Jeremy's video really motivated me make this concept. I think Terka and Ig could be played in anything but ADC. They would be a decent early game champ but with a monster late game. The damage on Terka is good because he only has 2 damaging abilites, but not super high because they are CC spells.
Passive I didnt want to make it like yorick without counterplay and i really wanted the player to feel as if they were working WITH Ig, not just using him so I put the passive that Terka had to attack. They stat sharing really puts into the idea that you are working with Ig, and that's the reason why Terka has some of the worst base stats in the game, but has decent scaling. Ig needed to be targetable because everyone needs to "feel" like Ig is in the game. However, Ig can't just constantly attack opponents forever, but I didn't know how to deal with Ig losing all of his health so I made so that he would go to fountain like any other character on the rift. This may change in the future. But hey, Ig benefits from lifesteal so......
Q Terka needs CC. If Terka can't get to his Target than Ig can't do much either. The Damage is Solid but not overtuned until later in the game which is where I want the 2 to shine
W If you have a big pet you would ride it too right. The 1 second delay to dismount is because, I think that it would be too broken to have 20% movement speed not needing to buy boots early without some draw back.
E I want Ig to be a Beast and Terka to be the Beast tamer. I want it to be known that Ig is no slouch on his own.
R I thought it would be cool to show a bond between 2 different beings, that together should be able to overcome anything. We have Gnar who becomes a beast unwillingly, but with Terka and Ig they are strong on their own but willingly being able to become a monster, but only together sounds cool.
