(Champion Concept) Dominus, the Forgotten Prototype
LORE Within Zaun, an experiment was held to see if a group of scientists could create the ultimate weapon. This experiment, through many twists and turns, eventually lead to the creation of ZAC or Zaun Amorphous Combatant. The success of Zac is something kept under wraps by the government of Zaun, but Zac was not the first creature created by the scientists when creating the ultimate weapon. The original ultimate weapon was, in fact, a ginormous reptile creature recorded under the name Dominus Tyranni, or just Dominus for short. The name means Master Tyrant or Master of Tyrants. The creature spanned from one wall of a building to another and had to be moved to a secret facility underground in order for the general public to not know of it's existence. The original creature that was used to create Dominus was only about three inches in length. When injected with a powerful serum modified by magical ash from an ancient Rune War explosion site where a World Rune was used. In just a week, the creature grew to become three hundred feet in length, one hundred and fourty four feet in width, and one hundred feet tall. It's neck was extremely long and so was it's tail, making up the majority of it's length. It weighed over ten tons and was capable of seemingly uncontrolled magical bursts from it's skin cells. These bursts could only be described as miniature World Rune explosions that were quickly becoming an issue for the safety of the entire city of Zaun. After an incident that nearly caused the outside world to learn of the creature's existence, the scientists were forced to freeze the creature far below ground. It was not killed at the request of the lead scientist, but simply put into stasis. When Zac was created, a pair of scientists freed their experiment and taught him the basic morals of life. Eventually, the pair of scientists were captured by Zaun officials and Zac was forced to rescue them. During Zac's raid in Zaun to free his "parents", he accidentally activated a series of events that would lead to the frozen Dominus to begin to be thawed out. The process would take a month, but, after a month, the creature was free. In an explosion, the creature exploded out from beneath Zaun, killing many. As quickly as it appeared it disappeared as it fled Zaun into the vast world of Runeterra. Unfortunately for Dominus, it's long time being frozen permanently damaged some of it's vital organs and, eventually, it would die. It roamed the wilds for many weeks before the pain began to set in. The creature could not speak, but it's intelligence was equal to if not better than the smartest of humans. It quickly made it's way to Piltover, where it used the magic within itself to raid the city, stealing several machines and metal scraps from the city. Using the stolen machines, Dominus created a life support system that it installed on it's back. The life support system quickly took effect, slightly healing the injuries done it's vital organs due to being frozen and then halting any further damage. With this issue dealt with, Dominus returned to the wilds to live a life of peace. Unfortunately, it was not destined for such a life. News spread all across Runeterra of a Zaun experiment gone wrong that was said to be the ultimate weapon. Several nations tried to capture the beast, but none succeeded. It would constantly release now very potent World Rune explosions from it's skin cells that would wipe out entire forests and, therefore, armies. Zaun was questioned numerous times what the creature was made of, but they never revealed the truth for they knew that the nations of the world would turn against them if they knew what had been injected into Dominus. Eventually, Zac heard of the news of it's "brother". Despite different in almost every way biologically, Zac saw Dominus as his brother and wanted to help his situation. Eventually finding the creature, Zac offered the creature protection. He told Dominus that he could protect it from the dangers of the outside world. Zac knew how important family was and he wanted Dominus to be a part of his. However, the giant reptile was doubtful at first. He doubted Zac's intentions and did not believe him. It wasn't until Zac revealed how he himself was created by Dominus' creators that the reptile accepted Zac's offer with a quick lick. Leading Dominus to where Zac lived, the two lived in peace. Zac found a vast forest just near where he lived for Dominus to live peacefully in. The forest was protected by several nations and no one was allowed to enter it. It did not have a name, simply being called The Forest. It stretched for miles upon miles, so Dominus would never be found within. Finding a nice lake within the forest, Dominus decided to live the rest of his life there with the promise that if he was ever endangered by the outside world, Zac, his family, would help him. The search for Dominus continued, but seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet. Some think he died, but others are not so sure. The creature became a legend and disappeared from history as time went on. To this day, those who defy the law of the land and enter Dominus' Forest meet a swift end as magic from a World Rune surges towards them and disintegrates their body. None can enter Dominus' forest, whether they like it or not.

Dominus is a unique champion in that he is incredibly large and can move through terrain. This, however, comes at the cost of speed and the fact that he will take a ton of damage due to his size. He comes packed with tons of innate defenses, but his size and inability to easily escape sticky situations can put him at a disadvantage against his foes. His damage is immense, but can be easily avoided since it is limited to wherever he is and has some decent delays. Dominus is a very simple champion with a very clear playstyle, something that is rare these days. Feedback is appreciated and thank you for reading!
