I'm 99% Sure that's a Watcher

For those of you who don't know, Ryze got a new cinematic and in it, he fights what I'm pretty sure is one of the Frozen Watchers. If that's the case, then the Watchers are NOT going to get retconned anytime soon and we can get some juicy lore on the creepy alien ice goats that once conquered the planet. Can someone from the lore team confirm this for me? I would very much like to know.

Also, related question(s), in the cave paintings for Gnar's reveal, one of them is of the creatures Gnar fought in ancient times and it looks like a Frozen Watcher. So did he duke it out with Watchers? And if so, did the yordles ditch the Freljord and move to the Glade because of the Frozen Watchers?

This.

It's not a Watcher. Expect more context soon - there's only so many hours in our working day!

It's just a regular Voidborn

It's not related to Vel'Koz either

Though I wonder what it's doing under all that ice

It actually says in the interactive map on the league of legends universe that the thing is a watcher
