Thule is a tribal hunter and findsman who wields a large macuahuitl to battle his opponents. He is a sturdy brawler with a lot of chase-down potential, but with somewhat high cooldowns and low area-of-effect damage, he may find himself lacking without a proper team engage or poor positioning. However, he has excellent dueling potential in most lanes or the jungle.

Dance: Thule impales his macuahuitl into the earth before performing a dance reminiscent of an Aztec fire dance. A video of this can be seen here. Namely view 0:10 - 1:43 for a general idea of the dance (@ 0:25, Thule performs an animalistic roar similar to the shout in the video). Unlike most champions, Thule's dance does not loop.
#Relationships
Nidalee (Rival) - Nidalee has origins in the Kumungu jungles, sharing this trait with Thule. It is currently unknown why the tribal twinge has such a distaste for the bestial huntress but it remains just the same. Perhaps like Urgot and Garen, Thule joined the League of Legends to slay his enemy...could this be revenge?
Rengar (Neutral) - Thule is also a hunter and claims to be one of the best; however, he acknowledges that he is not near the caliber that Rengar is. While the two have similar occupations and aspirations, the two rarely cross paths. Thule is doing his best to avoid the supreme huntsman as best as he can.
Trundle (Ally?) - Thule enjoys the company of the obnoxious troll, and believes that the Freljord and Kumungu have few similarities, but what they do share is quite extraordinary. Thule and Trundle have had many competitive events, from arm-wrestling to log-tossing to poro-golf of sorts. When they enter the battlefield, may the opposing force have mercy; Thule and Trundle certainly won't offer it.
#Skins Selection
-
Classic Skin: Thule is an imposing figure, standing at about six and a half feet in height. He is somewhat barrel-chested, denoting natural strength building and a sturdy core rather than fitness for glamour. Hiss most infamous piece of gear is his greyish skull mask, a human skull with streaks of red painted down the forehead through the eyes. The top of the skull is adorned with feathers and furs alike. Thule's hazel eyes have a supernatural yet faint glow through the skull's eye sockets. His right ear has an earring with a large canine dangling down from it. Thule's exposed arms have scarred tattoos of tribalesque appearance. He has matching fur bracers and boots, as well as a pelt-like kilt with pieces of leather straps and chains for added armor. He wields a heavy wooden macuahuitl with obsidian shards along the edges.

Crystal Miner Thule: Thule's skull becomes a dark grey, ash-covered one and atop it we find a yellow hardhat with a reflection light dead-center. Thule's main chest armor is replaced with an orange and yellow vest and his boots and gloves become black and thick, for protection. Thule also gains a pair of dark blue jeans for leg wear. Additionally, Thule's weapon becomes a work pickaxe. In this costume, Thule loses a lot of his tribal decorations and adornments.

Hoarfrost Thule: In an alternate timeline, Thule's birthplace is the Freljord, where he resided in the frozen ruins and caves hunting for weary travelers. Thule's skull-mask takes on a boar design rather than a human's, and each side has upward curling tusks that now appear as decorative horns. Overall, his skin takes on a pale blue hue and his weapon transforms into a barbaric axe, similar to one Olaf might use. His entire body however is covered in layers of pelts and silver, banded armor on the shoulders, hips, bracers, and shins.
