Nash'Ra , The Void Lure
Lore : Not all creatures of the void are born with weapons and brute strength. Some lack the resources to survive from birth, while others lack the will to live in its harsh environment. In the void, being born with good traits means longevity in a world where its kill or be killed. Such as the case with Nash'Ra, a voidling born to die as it was crippled from birth.The fear of being eaten by its sibling drove it into solitude and starvation. When all hope was lost for the voidling, a tear in time and space lead its way into Icathia from the void. It is there when he heard a calling "Join Us". As he and his kin rush towards the portal entrance like moths drawn towards the light, only to be met with Kassadin's blade and be slain. Nash'Ra scrambled to find shelter within the ruins of the Shuriman city. Days passed and still no sign of whoever sent the calling, it awaits its death grievously. As vultures began to home in for the dying voidling, it attempts to suicide by causing a chain reaction from inside its body. Alas, the voidling only made it more painful for itself to endure as the blast did not kill Nash'Ra. Vultures that were caught in the area where paralyzed as the acidic substance slowly digested their flesh and bones, leaving only a mushy pile of goop. Finally, was the voidling able to feast upon a meal like no other living creature. The creature began to realize its true way of life and continued its path out of the ruins of the city. Wandering the Great Sai desert, predators that ambushed the voidling were lead into mounds with volatile acid waiting to burst forth should it come in contact with any pressure. As beasts stepped on Nash'Ra's hollowed grounds, their life faded, just like that. Be it man or void, this monster devoured everything in sight, leaving no traces for others to find. It slowly learned how to use meat and gold as bait for any poor passer-by who are tempted by greed. Til this day, Nash'Ra have yet to find who sent the calling.
"Not all of us are born equal in this world.........."

R : Hollowed Grounds (Available at level one) After 3 seconds of digging, claim an area as territory for 5 minutes. Spores and Nash'Ra are invisible in hollowed grounds and enemies cannot see Nash'Ra dropping spores. Nash'Ra is revealed for 3 seconds when taking offensive action. Area increases with ranks.
Early Game : Planning ahead to try and get enemies to fight inside your territory. Ganks primarily consists of landing a W into a fully channeled E. If the enemy jungler tries to counter gank from the path that you took, they will have to endure the spores that you left behind. Unlike most junglers, setting your ultimate in the lane which you are going to camp the most is key to snowballing a lane. Flashing from outside your ultimate into your territory grants instant invisibility. (Hex-Flash I'm looking at you)
Mid Game : Provide constant protection by marking an entire lane as your territory, your carry won't be punished as much because enemies fear you might be near if they fight the carry on hollowed ground.
Late Game : Teamfighting be like Q Q Q Q Q until they are low enough then use your ultimate's stealth to try and channel your E in the middle of teamfights. He also punishes sieging champions such as Caitlyn because her range causes her to be more vulnerable if she doesn't stick with her teammates, STICK VERY CLOSE.
