@Riot Foundation Team: a question of UTMOST IMPORTANCE regarding Marai anatomy:

So is what Nami has in front of her upper body boobs or some sort of air-bladder as it is suggested in this comic?

For a fish-species to have such an body-part it would be weird, as they are not mammals and the use of an air bladder to easily regulate diving processes while swimming seems logical (It would function like this: blow it up -> get lighter -> rise / or release air -> gain weight -> sink). It would make sense for a species that spends 99% of its life underwater to have adapted like this.

However, we also know that the vastayan come from an ancient union of humans and aetherical shapeshifters, so we never know how big the human influence is on this - and so there is the chance that what we are talking about is not an air bladder but indeed fish-boobs.

So what of the two is it. Or is ot both?

I know the question is silly, but for some reason I REALLY NEED TO KNOW. Some people are kept awake at night by questions about existence and philosophy, and I wonder if one of my favourite champions has boobs or not. Not sure how weird my brain is, but hey what can you do about it?

they are boobs. marai are vastayah, vastayah are human/animal hybrids. the human part is mammal, therefore the fish people are atleast part mammal, and that means that they can be breasts without any logical fallacy. Occam's razor, they look like breasts, they are probably breasts.

Seems like weird and ineffective location for air bladders, considering a humanoid body's weight distribution. Around the hips or waist would be more realistic.

this is going in the folder.

She could be a dolphin Ezreal.

Also this comic is unaccurate. Here we see Ezreal blush at sight of boobs instead of saying Ewwwwww.

Probably air bladder left in a boob shape

Vastayan's are magic, so in that assumption real biology isn't a concern. They have boobs for the sake of resembling humans.

Boobs make no sense on a fish, but I think when it comes to the design team and boobs, they don't really care. Morello stated it a few years ago even.

I feel like this video would be semi helpful even though it draws from Skyrim and ESO's reptilian races instead of league.

I think that it's simply due to their biological relation to humans, which is a lot better than just fish boobs for the sake of fish boobs.

Along with that, it's possible they are vestigial figures from their human heritage, just like humans have tails in their bones or how some whales have feet.

BOOBS!!...............that is all. i go now.

Likely just breast.

lungfish its a real thing this may be the ecology that you are looking for in how the humans and magical fish people managed to get together to hook up and breed.

Why am I here?

Also, they are boobs. If Vastaya are human/animal hybrids, then it stands to reason that they would carry human traits if they appear to be human.
