New Menace: Deimos, The Feral Menace
So it's been a couple of years since I've been on the scene. But hey, think I'll try my hand at it again. I do hope to include artwork with these concepts but for now, I'll just present mechanics and lore. Hope you like my first creation!

Passive Overwhelming Hunger: Deimos’s mind is slowly being eaten away by his curse. When he is near enemy champions, he gains 2% attack speed and life steal per champion.
Abilities (Q) Violent Impact: 30 Mana - 10/9/8/7/6 Cooldown Deimos readies a powerful strike, causing his next basic attack to gain 20/25/30/35/40 bonus armor penetration and deals 25/45/65/85/105 (+30% AD) additional damage.
(W) Power Surge: 350 Range - 55 Mana - 7 Cooldown Passive: Deimos gains 5/10/15/20/25 (+15% bonus Armor) bonus magic resist. This effect is removed while Power Surge is on cooldown. Active: Deimos releases a wave of energy around him, dealing 45 (+20% AD) magic damage and knocking nearby enemies 100 units away.
(E) Bash: 225 Range - 35/45/55/65/75 Mana - 15/20/25/30/35% Slow - 15 Cooldown Deimos throws the nearest enemy aside for 550 units, dealing 45/65/85/105/125 (+45% AD) damage and slowing them for 2 seconds. Any other enemies they pass through receive 25/45/65/85/105 (+15% bonus AD) damage. If the enemy collides with a wall or structure, they are stunned for 1 second.
(Ult) Brute Force: 1125 Range - 150 Mana - 120/100/80 Cooldown Passive: Deimos builds up stacks of Hunger when he kills enemy minions, neutral monsters, or assists in killing an enemy champion. Killing a champion gathers 3 stacks. At 50 stacks, he can cast Brute Force. Active: Upon activation, Deimos transforms as he charges in a line. He deals 90/145/200 (+40% bonus AD) damage to all in his path, knocking them to his sides as he goes. If he runs into an enemy champion, he stuns them for 2.7 seconds, dealing an additional 95/150/205/ (+40% bonus AD) damage when the duration ends. The stun will end early if the champion is moved by any champion ability (knockbacks, pulls, Kalista’s Ult, etc.) and the second damage burst will be nullified. Deimos remains in his Accursed Beast form for 15 seconds, adding +20 range to his attacks and abilities and 20 additional AD.
Lore: Deimos was a brutish mercenary, willing to take on any job so long as it promised to be exciting. Because of his strength and lack of fear, he was often employed by the Noxian military to take on tasks they felt were too extreme for their soldiers or too delicate to be traced to them. Rumor has it he was hired by Le Blanc to slaughter the past Grand General, Boram Darkwill. He is also more than willing to employ his intimidation, strength, stories, and rugged charm to acquire whatever he desires. It was because of this behavior that he is the monster we now see. One evening after slaughtering once more for a Noxian noble, Deimos accosted the wife of his client and forced her to obey him. A servant had taken note of this and relayed the information to her master, which infuriated him. The following morning, the nobleman approached Deimos with a pleasant facade and offered him a bonus to his pay; a rare and valuable trinket his family had kept. The eager mercenary opened the box, only to be assaulted by a small creature which burrowed into his chest. Yet after its tail had disappeared into his ribs, the wound closed as though nothing happened. Deimos found himself collapsing on the floor, writhing in agony as he was assaulted by both pain and whispers. Satisfied with his work, the nobleman threw his former employee onto the streets and left him for dead. However, death was not what awaited Deimos. He roamed the streets after awaking in the middle of the night, his stomach ravaged with hunger and constantly taunted by a whispering voice. Power, power, give me power! For a while, he shoved the thoughts aside and attempted to resume his work. However, during his next battle he blacked out, waking to find himself gnawing on one of his fallen foes. The others nearby had already been torn apart in such ghastly ways that even he couldn’t stomach. Not enough. Weak! I need power! He soon came across a wizard, and to his horror, he could see his arm change. Stone-likes scales and spines began to grow over his skin and he began to rush at the hapless man, frothing at the mouth. Before he could even touch his newfound prey, the wizard cast a binding spell and studied the ravenous creature before him. As seconds passed and Deimos’s hunger grew, his body slowly began to shift further and further into a more monstrous form, taunted by the voice begging for him to devour the man just within his reach! “What a nasty curse you have. Does this form please you?” the wizard asked. Deimos shook his head, and the magician slowly stroked his beard as he spoke again, “Then perhaps we can help each other…”
