(Champion Concept) Zugyuk, the Chem-Tail Lemur
LORE The Chem-Tails are a breed of lemur that live in the wastelands surrounding Zaun. Most forests were completely destroyed when Zaun began spreading it's pollution on the surrounding area, but not all of the animals living within the forests were sent into extinction. Previously known as Magi-Tails, Chem-Tails adapted to cause all of the harmful chemicals that enter their body to be stored in a chemical-resistant pouch within their fat tails that they can then use to attack their foes by flicking their tails at their enemies. Zugyuk, a leader Chem-Tail Lemur that protects his pack with pride, is among the few Chem-Tails to live within Zaun itself. Using his smarts and deceivingly large amount of strength, he has made Zaun a suitable home for his pack of Chem-Tails. Chem-Tails, when not hunting or defending their pack, are often seen playing rather human-like sports with each other. Playing catch with Splort berries and batting Splort berries over several buildings with metal pipes are common activities for Chem-Tails to do. The younger generation of Zaun can often be seen playing with Chem-Tails if the Chem-Tails accept them. Many children have been found playing with Splort berries with Chem-Tails in the streets. However, Zugyuk does not accept just any human. He only accepts the strongest or most intelligent humans into his pack. Ekko, a boy who lives within Zaun, is one of few humans to be accepted by Zugyuk. Ekko protects his group of friends with relentless effort and Zugyuk respects that dedication. Within a week, Ekko was accepted into Zugyuk's pack and Zugyuk taught him how to bat Splort berries. The techniques Ekko learned there would come in handy to him in many occasions when protecting his friends. Ever since then, Zugyuk and Ekko have always come to each other's aid whenever possible. Recently in Zaun, the Chem-Barons of the city have tried to wipe out the Chem-Tail population within Zaun. Zugyuk defends his pack with extreme vigilance and has yet to be bested by the simple chemical attacks of the Chem-Barons of Zaun, sending their harmful chemicals right back at them. No machine or chemical can best Zugyuk, the strongest Chem-Tail of them all. Using the various metal pipes around Zaun and his powerful tail, his pack is at war with the Chem-Barons and seek to force them to stop attacking them.

Passive- Chem-Tail Innate: Zugyuk's tail will absorb the energy sent into air from nearby spells, causing his next basic attack after 7/6/5 abilities are used by allies or enemies near him to become ranged, gain 325 bonus attack range, and deal 10 (+3 per level) (+15% AP) bonus magic damage plus an additional 15 (+5 per level) (+15% AP) magic damage over the next 5 seconds.

Ability 1- Batter Up/Homerun Active- 1st Cast: Zugyuk jumps to the target location, gaining a 40/80/120/160/200 (+65% AP) shield for up to 6 seconds.

The knockback distance is doubled for enemy minions and monsters, but they cannot be knocked over a wall. This attack applies both on-hit and on-spell effects.

Active: Zugyuk flicks a scent from his tail onto the target enemy champion or monster, dealing 20/60/100/140/180 (+35% AP) magic damage to them and applying Offensive Scent to them for the next 4/5.5/7/8.5/10 seconds, causing all nearby minions from Zugyuk's team and non-epic monsters to try and attack the unit, following them to attack even if they do not have vision of them. Neutral monsters will even leave their own camp to attack the enemy. Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana Cool Down: 19/18/17/16/15 seconds Range: 625 Minion and Monster Aggro Range: 2000
Ultimate- Leader of the Pack Passive: After being out of combat for 20/15/10 seconds, Zugyuk will call upon his pack to join him, calling to him three Lesser Lemurs. Lesser Lemurs will mimic Zugyuk, following him in a line with equivalent movement speed. When Zugyuk basic attacks an enemy unit, his Lesser Lemurs will throw a metal ball at the enemy from their current position in the line, each metal ball dealing 15/30/45 (+15% AD) (+10% AP) magic damage. Lesser Lemurs will move and attack at the same time. Lesser Lemurs will also throw any berries they are holding when they attack. These attacks will apply AoE on-spell effects, not on-hit effects. Lesser Lemurs are immune to crowd control and ignore unit collision. If Zugyuk uses an item or Summoner Spell that causes him to teleport or blink across a distance, his Lesser Lemurs will also use the mobility portion of these effects. LESSER LEMUR STATS Health- 200/350/500 (+10/12.5/15% max health) Armor- 5/20/35 Magic Resist- 15/30/45 Movement Speed- (100% Movement Speed) Lesser Lemurs will act differently when Zugyuk uses an ability. Batter Up: Lesser Lemurs will jump to the same position that Zugyuk jumped to, also gaining the same shield. Homerun: Lesser Lemurs will throw a larger than normal metal ball that deals 20/40/60 (+25% AD) (+20% AP) magic damage at Zugyuk's target. Splort Berry Toss: Lesser Lemurs will also toss berries to nearby allied units and other Lesser Lemurs, although the same unit cannot hold more than one berry. Offensive Scent: Lesser Lemurs will attack enemies marked with Offensive Scent relentlessly, attacking the closest enemy with Offensive Scent applied to them within 575 units of themselves with Attack Speed equal to Zugyuk's. Killing a Lesser Lemur will grant their killer 5 gold. Lesser Lemur Distance Between Each Lemur in Line: 250 Total Line Length: 750
