Important note: what i mean by linked champion is that his lore will be linked with some other champion concepts i made: Theur, Pandorum and Basker Evil. Full info on them can be found by clicking on their names. Also, because of those champions, this champion would also be linked with two places done by me: Pandemonium and The Dream Realm. Info about them could be found by clicking their names. Also, i will provide brief summary about each champion and location later on, so you (the reader) are not forced to check all of them if you don't want to. Now, lets move on.

#4. PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THE KIT

Passive Pretty simple passive. Try to be where enemy minions die and pick dead bodies as fast as you can for a sustain in lane. While is doesn't offer too much healing and it might be risky to try to gather every corpse you can, but don't by doing so you not only gain some sustain, but permanently increase your maximum health. If your playing top lane, then you have to decide whether picking corpse is worth it, because enemies with a lot of mobility can easily get into range to you and deal a lot of damage. If you are playing support, then try to pick all corpses you can and ask your ADC to cover for you if he/she can. Counter--playing against this passive is pretty easy. One or two basic attacks against corpses should instantly destroy them, so if you are range champion, then destroy those corpses and negate his only sustain.

Q This is pretty simple ability, yet it can be be very complex to deal with. Lets start with simple things and move on to more complex ones. It is shill-shot which penetrates all enemies in line dealing damage to every hit enemy. All hit enemies champions become marked and start to emit harmful aura which damages all other enemies around them, but not enemy champions marked by it. Also, affected enemies champions start to emit a small vision field around themselves. It does not grant true vision on them, but rather work like a sticky ward. If two or more auras connect, then while they are connected, they deal true damage instead of magic damage. So, if two enemy champions are close to each other and get marked, then they start to deal true damage to each other. If you managed to hit 5 enemies champions while they are very close to each other, then every one of them takes 4 times of true damage. Counter--play against this ability isn't easy. First thing first, try not to be hit by it. If you see enemies picking this champion try to pick a champion with a heal in his/her kit. AOE heals are extremely good against this ability. Also, there are items which allows you to heal other friendly champions. Secondly, try not to clump up. If you clump up and get hit, then multiple damaging auras will be emitted. If that happens, then move away from each other.

W This is also a complex ability. For one, it summons 6 uncontrollable immobilized pets to attack nearby enemies. While they don't do that much damage, this ability have a lot more other uses than this base one. Enemies affected by your Q aura trying to exit this area of W will be heavily slowed. Your pet dragon summoned by R can not be damaged while he stays in your W. Also, after 4 sec you can reactive this ability again causing phantoms to rush to the center of this ability and deal decent damage to all enemies they pass through. Also, if a lot of corpses are made in area where you can not go, then you can consume those corpses via this ability. As you see, this ability have many uses and have good synergy with the rest of his kit. Counter--play is much easier compared to his other abilities. You can try to quickly move out of this area before you are marked with Q and/or receive damage from phantom's. Also, you can destroy phantoms themselves, because they have pretty low health and late game would die in 1--2 attacks from ADC. Don't that slowing part will work only when you to try to walk out of the area. You will not get slowed if you dash, jump or blink out of this area.

E Good ability to begin a fight or to end it. When enemy engages on you can can silence him/her and shred some good health from him/her while also reducing his/her protections. When enemy tries to run away, you can taunt him/her reducing his/her attack speed. Don't forget that this ability shreds current health, so enemies with low health receive a lot less damage than enemies with full health. Counter--play. Well, you will have 0.6 sec to decide that to do: get silenced, get taunted and try to move away. See? There are counter plays against it. Although, 0.6 isn't that much time, but decisions can be made. It have fairly long CD, short range and kind long casting time, so you can either use that to your advantage of just ignore it and see what will happen. He can't move while he is casting, so that is another thing to play around. How fight ends hugely depends on your reaction time. P.S. if you play AA based champion, then don't afraid to be silenced, because getting aunted is way worse.

R Yea, when i finished with calculation and design on abilities, i noticed how unfair this ability can be with very good team on your side. It is not that this ability is OP, but i CAN be very unfair against enemy team. Let me explain what i mean by it. Early dragon kill= +300 health to your pet. Early herald kill= +300 health to your pet. Another dragon kill= +300 health to your pet. Baron kill= +300 health to your pet. And another dragon kill= +300 health to your pet. With these kills your dragon gets 1500 bonus health only from good team play of your team. Now include your pet's already high base health and you will have massive creature to tank any damage from anything. While it doesn't have massive health of Mordekaiser's pet ghost dragon, but this zombie dragon have other things. While you do lack any form of engage, you can send in your dragon and force your dragon to cream via your E causing him to silence or taunt enemy champions. If timed correctly and positioned right for a team fight, you can W+R+E combo to taunt enemies to fight your dragon which would not be damaged while inside of W. And hitting enemies with your Q boost dragon's damage against them. If played really well, this could be very unfair against enemy team. Counter--play. Similar to Annie's bear, but this thing doesn't stun you. You can either root it, stun it, try to kite it, smite it or just ignore it. It doesn't do massive damage and destroying summoner will also kill the dragon. Don't let dragon to come into middle of your team, because he can easily taunt/silence your whole team.

Special unique items Well, these are important, but a same time not that much. You will have a choice: either buy any of there and work around new resource bars or don't. Some of them are nice, other might be a little too strong for certain teams. If you decide to buy any of these, then my recommendations would be: Devouring Face for solo top while building AD/AA build; Phantom Face for solo top or jungle, or when enemy team have many champions with stealth; Heaven Shocking Face when playing solo top against range enemy; All-seeing Face when you play as a support or your team have no other tank. Keep in mind that all these unique items will change a little bit or a lot how you play this champion. If you decide to buy them, then i suggest adapt you build to your unique item. Also, these items do not require to be bought, You can build your items without these if you like.

Mage released Theur after he understood what is morality. Short after that Theur found a friend and decided to protect this world from evil beings.

~~ ~~ Secret laboratories and Subject F66

Hidden from the world, there exists a secret complex of laboratories which belongs to mad scientists. Many inhumane experiments are done there, many lows of nature are broken there. No cost is too high for these scientist, because they word for one glorious purpose. Human life means nothing for them, if they can get closer to their purpose. But, experiments are done not only on humans there. Voidborns, undeads, ursines, minotaurs, yordles, angels, marais, demons, trolls, werewolves and any other races were used as lab rats there, if mad scientist manged to get their hands on those unfortunate creatures. Dark and cruel experiments were done there day and night. Like switching organs of human being and voidborn, or injecting troll with blood of undead, of impregnating voidborn with cells of the ursine. These only few of hundreds thins which were done there. Usually most of experiments ended in failures, but not the one done on subject F66. All experiments done on him very successful, in a way. Many different things were done to him, but he didn't die. He survived them all, but born as a human, after many of those experiments he had no humanity felt in him. Only living, breathing, bizarre flesh and mind of a beast -- that was what left of a person.

Before being captured and experimented on, he was just a normal man working in his parents farm. He was average in every way possible. His dreams weren't big and so did his ambitions. He was happy being a farmer and only wished to get a wife and couple of children. Life was calm and easy, days slowly passed and living away from big towns was a bit boring. Every day nothing seem to happen, every week was similar to the one before this one. Every week end people gathered in the village nearby and danced, chatted and shared their stories. Friendly community, happy people, who could ask for more. Once in a while some got married, once in a while some died, but life didn't change that much. Children grew up, parents grew old, cycle of life cycled slowly in this village. However, peaceful days disappeared like smoke in a wind when one night a family got abducted by someone. No one in the village knew what happened or what to do. Soon after the first one, another family got abducted, then another one, until a man, later called subject F66, got abducted too.

After taken into secret laboratories series of bizarre things were done to him. Several organs were replaced by voidborn's organs, entire blood was drained and replaced by blood of undead's. Parts of demon's, ursine's, yordle's flesh was implanted into his body. Experimental bacteria, viruses, drugs and other stuff were put into him, mutating, transforming his body. Slowly changed from a human being, but into what... He become devourer of the dead, able to absorb eaten dead bodies into himself. However, simple dead flesh was just a mass to gain. Caged like a animal, he was viewed only as mutated experiment. But, not even mad scientist knew what they actually had. He grew acetic acid bacteria in his body and slowly gathered acid in his body. He waited, planed his escape. When right time came, he spewed out all his gathered acid and melted a hole in his prison cell. Escaped into the world, he started his killing spree. From one place to another, he roamed Runeterra killing and devouring everyone he met. Mostly humans and animals were devoured by him, thus he didn't change that much, just grew bigger. However, some creatures he met changed not only his size, but his farm and even have him dangerous powers.

First important being in his path was Basker Evil. This dream realm phantom just happened to pass though a town and there they met. Back then, mutant didn't have purpose or even intellectual mind. He was driven by instincts and need to devour dead flesh. They both were somewhat intrigued by each other. Monster against the phantom, they attacked each other. Fought for a long time, over whole town, destroying buildings and streets. Phantom created copies of himself, used many different tactics and tricks, but when dust have settled, mutant managed to eat the phantom up. Maybe worst possible thing have happened, because phantom is neither dead not alive, so instead of just becoming bonus flesh, Basker became its core. Mind, shadow powers and something like a soul was born into this mutant. Intelligence, however limited, started to grow and take over this creature. Few days later he was smart enough to understand what he is doing, he even named himself. Not some fancy name, but that moment is was enough. He named himself -- Demort.

Not yet known to the most of the world, Demort attracted attention of other being. Pandorum got his eyes on him. Sensing presence of Demort, Pandorum tracked him down and finally met his nearby Freljord.

Pandorum: well well well, i had my eye on you, but you turned out not hat i expected. I see the sins you committed, all dark deeds done by you, and just look at that dark core you have inside of you. I see it all. Demort: you, are you a demon? What do you want from me? Pandorum: look into my eyes, they see everything. They see dark tomorrow and they despair we will bring to this world. I see what needs to be done, what could be done and what will be done. Together we will do great things, dark and vile things. I see them all, and i want to show them to you.

Pandorum attacked Demort, but not to kill him. Pandorum provoked this unstable monster for a one simple reason -- to be eaten. Demon flesh fused with the mutant, their minds get twisted together, fused into one. Two malevolent creatures got fused together into something beyond terrifying.

Newly born monster of dead was filled with evil, cared only about destroying everything around, ate remains of people and laughed, while he made other people to watch. This evil could not be tolerated and somebody had to stop it. Those somebody happen to be Volibear, Theur and Sejuani. These three brave heroes stood against monstrous being and fought for their home. Icy weapons, lightnings strikes and claws were used against the monsters, but nothing seemed to stop him. One after another heroes fell, until Theur was the last one standing. He knew that monster couldn't be stopped is the fight continue. Only way to save his friends and destroy the monsters was to sacrifice himself. He rammed the monster with his body tossing it and himself into icy abyss. During their fall Theur tried to serf--destruct releasing massive burst of energy. He managed to destroy near 50% or monster's body, but failed to kill it. Instead, monster absorbed Theur and at the bottom of the abyss final version of this monsters was born. Terrifying creams blasted out into the world, when in the snow and ice best turned into ungodly abomination. Calmed down, more rational and with cold, sharp mind, stabilized monster stood on his feet and shouted out his name causing world to tremble -- Deus Mortem.

Using R -- Another part of me.

#8. EXTRA INFO

Playing in top lane R>Q>W>E I would suggest to poke enemy champion as much as you can and try to collect all corpses you can. To enter info fight you can't win and just generally play safe. Hi wouldn't be one of the strongest top lane champions, so playing safe should be default option. Also, because he have no disengages and no engages, that means fighting high mobility champions will be very painful. Rather then trading with enemy top laner, poke hard and collect corpses. Don't ask help of your jungle unless you have very hard time farming. Take your time and wait for mid/late game, because this is mostly late game champion. Hardest champion to play against would obviously be ranged champion. Especially those with slows, hard CC or/and high sustain.

Playing jungle Bad option. Would not recommend it.

Playing mid R>Q>W>E Also not that good. Most of mid lane champions are ranged and you would struggle very much against them.

Playing support R>E>Q>W While you do lack mobility, you still have a lot of "utility". Q aura on enemy champions, silence/taunt, slow, pet tank. Don't forget that collecting corpses might be easier. Your main job would be to try to constantly hit at least one enemy champion with Q and force them to keep distance form each other. When fight breaks out hit enemy ADC with E and you should be solid. Also, enemy supports with heavy pokes are your worst nightmare, so try to avoid playing support against poke heavy teams.

#9. OTHER

I will put here any additional ideas or thoughts i will get. As for now, i can put only thing i can.

CCOS reviews

#SPOILERS AHEAD. BE WARNED

So, i put many something like eastern eggs around this concept. From numbers been 666, adding up to 6, 9 or 13. For example 345 --> 4+4+5=13, or 270 --> 2+7+0=9 which is 6 upside down. Deus Mortem means "the god of death". Passive "angel of death" is reference to Thanatos, the ancient greek god of death. Also, F66. F is sixth letter in English alphabet. So, it is same as 666. Some quotes are references to his them music, like "Where are the freaks at?". Also, some quotes are references to Transformers: Rise of the Fallen movie. There are several other eastern eggs to be found, but i leave that up to you, the reader, to find them all, if you want to.
