[Champion Skin Concept] BroodMother Shyvana
With the recent release of Championship Shyvana, I looked through her skins and remembered one of her core themes --- She's also a Dragon. A large, bad ass and flaming monster of death and destruction. But with that I remembered there are several 'Dragonslayer' skins for very nice champions, and each is very well designed using the themes of taking parts of hunted dragons and using them for armor/weaponry. And with this revelation, the thought struck me-- A VERY cool and awesome idea that could rake in profits and fans alike. Why not add a Dragon for them to fight? A monster to slay? Only this time, she's much larger, and she isn't alone.

face their toughest challenge yet.
BROODMOTHER SHYVANA! This idea for the skin revolves around
finally deciding to live as a Dragon (Focusing mainly on the power it gives her, and the fact that she's a Dragon and could eat people if she wanted.) So she would look more Draconic or Dragonlike then human-like while she's in her human form. Also, by definition, a Brood is a flock of young animals (mainly birds, though.) So the mother of these younglings would be a 'BroodMother'
As she levels up, she turns more and more dragon-like. Her near regular form (Outside of different armor) slowly changes with each upgrade to her skills. Evolving much like Kha'zix as she grows in power and readies herself for the final confrontation. I imagine her armor as being much darker with royal purple and reds to say how far gone she really has become.
Her helmet would be having the 'horns' come down over her upper back. (Shoulders, shoulder-blades and possibly mid back depending on developer judgement.) Being ringed and thick to accentuate just how much of a larger being she really is in her dragon form. When she turns into her dragon form, these horns change and are spread over her neck to protect her from being be-headed by any foul Dragonslayer. Perhaps a full-head helmet, covering the face as well and showing only her eyes and mouth?
New shoulder-pads / armor that gives the look of a burning hell inside-- A molten mass of fire and fury. They would stand up and out just a bit and have black plumes of smoke pour from them with each fiery ability she uses, and using Burnout causes them to explode and surround her with lava. (Maybe her fire got stronger...!) Turning into a Dragon, this would cause her to have red trenches (Of flame, or of lava. Take your pick) passing from her 'shoulders' and down her sides, and down her hind legs.
Her legs would also be more armored then what they were, having the image of two dragons breathing the fire of life into her stomach (almost like a single suit of armor!). The dragons would be identical, black and purple breathing the hellish red flame onto her stomach, almost creating a ruby-like image over her stomach. This would give her a purple underbelly with a blackened hide, while giving her a massive red spike at the end of her tail as she uses her ultimate ability.
Her new weapons, the Fangs of the Mother, have very much the same look as her original weapon. Only now there is a very noticeable red gem on the blackened head of her right fist and another on her left. (Momma has to look GOOOD when she goes out, kiddies. ) Yet the 'fangs' of the dragon now comes up and over itself, creating a block of solid teeth when closed, with the teeth interlocking. Using her twin bite ability causes her snap it down on the enemy, and the gems on the weapons glow momentarily. As a dragon, the gems are now on her nose as a horn and on both 'hands' at the end of her wings.
As I said before, each Max to her abilities would make her look more draconic.
With the Max of her [Q] ability, Twin Bite, she does a simple animation of throwing her weapons to the ground and changing her hands into massive claws that look very similar to her Dragon form's.
Maxing her [W] - Burnout causes her shoulderpads to explode and leave lava in her wake, as Shyvana is now a tad hunched over and huffing like an animal, looking pissed and ready to kill.
Maxing her [E] - Flamebreath causes her to forego her helmet, as it shatters and her skull shifts, gaining large Demon-like horns that go over the crown of her head and an elongated nose/mouth. From this point on, she no longer 'throws' a ball of flame, instead of actually breathing it out (Using her.. Face. She shoots the ball of fire from her face.)
And finally, maxing her [R] - Dragon's Descent causes Shyvana to hunch over for a short moment and sprout dragon wings from her back, with the same claws as her dragon form. Every now and then, they would flap furiously and try to lift her off the ground as she idles. This would change her Dragon form drastically, as it is now larger looking, her wings are no longer attached to her arms but are on her back (A-la traditional Dragons.). Her 'hands' are now massively clawed for striking down her prey, her head is wide and her teeth are interlocked to trap anyone that would have the misfortune to be bitten. The Red 'Horn' on her nose would now be larger and more prominent, glinting every so often.
And as per the skin name, maybe some tiny tiny dragon babies would swoop down with her and hover around their Momma as she activates her ability. Each one would look the same, a much smaller and plain version of Shyvana's dragon form. Black and purple, a spiked tail, arm wings and a tiny red horn on the nose.
Maybe buying a few items would give her a special phrase or two, a few examples:
Buying
would cause her to say, "A fiery demise awaits all those who stand against me!"
Buying
would cause her to say, "Some question how these boots would be useful when changing into a Human." (Stating she thinks of herself as a dragon, and the boots are made for that form. )
On upgrading the boots to.. Anything, would make her say, "These boots are magic, aren't they? I should get a few pairs for the kids when they get older."
Much like the
vs.
quest when they both reach max level, a quest would be added if there is a BroodMother Shyvana and ANY Dragonslayer skinned champion on the enemy team. Who ever wins the fight gains a buff, if
wins the fight, she gains the buff "Hero devourer." - "Shyvana has claimed victory and devoured the foolish Dragonslayer." This would give the enemy Dragonslayer the debuff "Charred to a crisp." - "You have fought and have been devoured by the Broodmother"
However, if the enemy Dragonslayer wins, they gain the buff "Dragonslayer" - "You have slain the Broodmother and saved the kingdom." and
gains the debuff "Slain." - "The Broodmother has been slain by the Dragonslayer."
Sadly, this is all I have right now. But the main thing to remember about this skin is that Shyvana is A DRAGON, and prefers it. So foregoes being human, and considers herself an all-powerful Dragon.
