It's a flying manta ray

It's actually Anivia, in one of the battle cast teasers Anivia's name came up among the other battle cast robots. Guess that skin was scrapped tho.

It's a lost kite.

It's in Creator Viktor's Recall-Animation aswell: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130906013237/leagueoflegends/images/b/b1/Viktor_Recall.png

http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120802032044/leagueoflegends/images/8/8a/Battlecast_Cho'Gath_Specs.jpg The mentioning of "ANV" at the top right corner of Battlecast Cho'gath Primes Blueprints. It's probably scrapped tho and at this time Vel'Koz wasn't a thing. Yet Vel'Koz is shown in Creator Viktor's Splashart (Vel'Koz wasn't released at this time) and Battlecast Skarner Alpha is seen in Battlecast Cho'Gath's Splash (The last battlecast skin is shown in the first one's splash...).

Tl;dr: Could be Anivia with a chance of 5%, otherwise it's either a new champion or someone who can thematically fly. Let's not forget tho that Battlecasts are mostly creatures from the void - And ironically most of them are lategame monsters.

It's obviously a Jigglypuff as seen from above.

My guess is that it was a teased champion that hit some kind of bump in the road, and was then iceboxed to either be dropped or picked up at a later date.

While I can't say for certain, as I'm not 100% sure myself, I am a fan of the manta ray theory. :3

Sorry, but it's just the peak of a rock poking though the smoke.

Although a flying manta ray would be cool...

Macilento3/27/2016, 8:21:38 PM1 votes

My best bet is that is a void monster butterfly like creature support role

Unpaladin3/27/2016, 8:20:14 PM1 votes

Battlecast Rek'Sai? Maybe? Possibly?

Capt Milkshakes3/28/2016, 5:27:35 AM1 votes

Galio maybe? I dunno, upon closer inspection, probably not, but that's the only champ I can think of off the top of my head that has wings similar to that.

Digielf3/28/2016, 10:51:02 AM1 votes

It was a skin - Battlecast Anivia which was canceled later because they said it would not fit for her, his recall animation has it aswell and on the Wiki of unreleased content it mentions this skin

Bellows3/28/2016, 1:38:12 PM1 votes

Its either Corki

OR FUKIN AURELION SOL! AurelionSol

Rico Nasty3/28/2016, 5:05:50 PM1 votes

It was Battlecast Anivia, cancelled because the animations didn't work well.

Beoridas3/27/2016, 12:59:40 PM1 votes

people joke about it but there was actual theories about it when it came out: a bit like Vi's sister was mentioned in ARAM

nosafterburn3/29/2016, 5:25:57 PM1 votes

That was just the clunky old Ao Shin model. Now you know whay they scrapped it.
