An odd topic, but have there been any interracial relations in Runeterra between humans and yordles?

First of all, not all yordles are children. In fact, Gnar is the only juvenile among the yordles (he's thousands of years old but he got the Steve Rogers treatment so he's still a child) and the rest are either young adults (Tristana) or middle-aged (Kled). They're short, but so are fantasy dwarves and halflings. So don't accuse me of being a creep!


Secondly, if Rumble's admiration of Tristana is anything to go by, we know yordles reproduce sexually otherwise he'd have no attraction to her or any other yordle (if they reproduce asexually by some magical means, there would be no requirement for an innate drive to seek out partners but he clearly is attracted to her and she doesn't seem to completely shun his affections.)


Thirdly, while humans and vastaya have canonically had relations of the sort before (as revealed in the field journal by the half-vastayan Shai), what would a human/yordle offspring be? Would they have a 50/50 chance of being human or yordle, would they be a half-human-half-yordle sharing traits of both, or would they (with usage of the innate yordle magic) be a shapeshifter like Shai?


And, although this is a minor point because it's technically non-canon, it isn't too much of a stretch to say that yordles and humans can't be attracted to one another because of the music video Mortal Reminder. Like I said, it's non-canon, but it's not too much of a stretch to say that Rumble doesn't limit his attraction to just yordles and he may not be the only one.


I don't have any real reason for asking this other than I am curious...

I'm sure it'd be like a human trying to fuck an Ewok

Hm. An interesting question, but I think the answer is "no". Yordles are spirits in physical form; they possibly don't even know about reproduction.

However, I wouldn't underestimate a human's ability to mate with other species.

Amumu This could actually be a great explanation for Amumu and the confusion on his race in lore. Maybe it could be why he's cursed.

Well, Ziggs was implied to have an attraction to Jinx in the comic

And even if they are full Fae-like creatures, it's not as if a Fae has never had off-spring with a human in mythology/fantasy fiction either.

So like, my guess is that it's possible but unlikely and until Riot releases "[NAME] The Yordle-Half" it's not something that will come up.

The problem is that one human can see a yordle as one thing and another human can see the same yordle as a different thing... that is because of the Glamour.

.... Lets say as an example, that Akali and Kennen start a relationship. Akali would probably see Kennen as a yordle... but Riven would see him as an old tiny man and Yasuo would see Kennen as a child for example. So, some people would see Akali dating a child, and some other persons would see Akali dating an old man... and the things would be akward.
