@jaredan I have a lore question about rengar

Veraska··2 votes·4,700 views

Hi I have a question about rengar and more specifically what he is? I remember some rioter saying Nami is part of a race of mermaids called the marai(?) Nut is rengar a part of some race of giant cat people? Is rengar an urban legend? Is he a human hunter transformed into a jungle cat by the magic of the kumungu or maybe a lion transformed? WHAT IS RENGAR?

I have to engage vague mode, sorry, but I promise your question is going to be answered.

I have a hunch that he's some kind of a spirit. Only time (and you guys from Narrative) will tell, I guess. :P

He's not a spirit, he's very corporeal, and he's larger than a bread box. Or he's a bread box. Mmm toast.

Rengar actually being a bread box brought to life by Lulu after thinking of cats and knives confirmed.

Ah crap, I'm going to get in trouble for leaking that one.

Pshh. Bagels beat toast every time; unless it's Marbled Rye. Marbled Rye is always a winner.

I have a question too

Did Shen get his supernatural abilities naturally IE Born with them or is it part of the ninja art his father taught him?

could any person do what Shen does with enough training and perseverance? What about Lee Sin and Master Yi?

Shen is uniquely special in what he can do, but the education and training of his father brought that potential to the point of being viable in the amazing things he can accomplish. If someone else tried to do what Shen does, well, it would go very, very, badly on a large scale.

Almost as badly as if someone with bad intentions was able to do what Shen does...

Is this the same for Karma? They both seem to have spiritual powers which aren't like conventional magic.

Rengo is an ancient king of the long forgotten knife cat race.

This is a true story and I will not accept any deviation from this.

We don't know what he is as Rengar was adopted by a human who found him lying in the jungle,so even Rengar and his dad don't know where he came from.

Though it is worth mentioning that Iverns lore mentions a group of half-human-half-animal guys living in Ionia,so maybe he is related to them?

There's a number of animal humanoids around Runeterra with no known peers of the same species.

Rengar MonkeyKing Fizz Rammus Twitch

I think it's safe to assume that they're isolated cases. Rengar, for example, might be a jungle lion that was mutated by latent energy from the Rune Wars when he was a cub, and taken in by the human hunter mentioned in his backstory.

MonkeyKing is a magically changed ape from the rune wars pre retcon so they nee to update him. also Fizz is part of a race but hes a sole survivor

I could not handle many Fizz-like people existing on the rift!

Rammus is speculated to be an ancient Ascended from Shurima, and Twitch likely was an experiment gone wrong in Zaun (based on old lore at least).

I'd much rather Rengar be a member of a species. This is a fantasy world; we already have yordles, merpeople, and even trolls (though no one's cared about Trundle's lore in over 5 years), why NOT have different anthropomorphic species? I'd love to see Alistar, Rengar, and Fizz all be members of different species. This would give some potential story threads of how they interact with the human nations, or how their cultures and stuff are different.

It would feel really wrong and weird to me if all of these guys were suddenly mutated humans of some kind. Don't be afraid to make the world bigger, guys

He's obviously a Knife Cat.
