Some questions about Gnar

I'm a Gnar main, so I've been waiting the day to see my special champ finally get his lore update. And yesterday my dream came true! Thanks Riot!

I am pleased with his new lore overall, and I appreciate the hard work of the lore team, but I have some questions that I would like to know if you could answer. The question are: 1.How can Gnar turn into Mega Gnar?

2.What does Gnar have that helps him become something different from how he is?

3.Does Gnar can't remember a thing about his moments while he is Mega and if so, why?

4.Is he still 4 humans years old(without putting the time he was frozen)

5.Did he had someone watching him before he met "the big white yordles" or was he on his own from the beginning?

Thanks again Riot for showing some love to my favorite furball, and I do hope some of my questions might be answered. I wish everyone has a great day and good luck in your games!

Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to check out the lore. I'll try my best to answer your questions. Gold Light did a pretty good job!

Gnar transforms into Mega Gnar in a very similar way to how he does in game: during emotional highs. Most of the time, this is shown through rage or frustration, but we have much more of Gnar to see and understand, and I imagine he'll continue to surprise all those around him.
Gnar's ability to transform into his "mega" form is the result of magic. We'll have more yordle lore in the future explaining how magic and yordles go together!
Gnar's memory is still akin to that of a very, very young child, so sometimes he can remember moments. Most of the time, not so much. He also often lacks a lot of awareness to what is "truly" happening, including the fact that he has transformed.
Thinking of his "maturity" (or lack thereof) being "similar" to that of a 4 yr. old human is still pretty accurate. Like you said, in actual years, Gnar has existed for much longer.
Gnar was friendly with many living creatures, human or otherwise. Others may also have taken notice of him, but at the moment, he is more interested in the world around him, filled with wonder at everything new and shiny.

It's currently hard to answer all these questions, particularly as to WHY he turns into Mega Gnar now. It seems to imply that he got the power from hanging around the yetis (aka "white yordles") since their forms are somewhat fluid, but that's just a guess at best. It's definitely likely that he doesn't remember his transformations though, if only because he's flying into a state of blind, animalistic rage. It's possible Gnar is VAGUELY aware of when he transforms, but he's still mentally a kid, so probably doesn't think much of it. If something scary attacks him, Gnar just beasts out, deals with the problem, turns back, and goes on his merry way.

As for age... I don't think he's four years old anymore since yordles have really long life spans now, but he's definitely, as stated above, still a child.

Hey i want to drop another question pertaining to Gnar's old life, specifically on the stuff he hunts.

Is Gnar's skull hat one of the hunting trophies he acquired or did he pick it up off somewhere?
What kind of things did he hunt, does he eat them? And if he does, does he know how to atleast cook or does he eat them raw?
Is Gnar's boomerang kept sharp or does he throws it bluntly at his prey?
How long did it take him to track the yetis
And lastly does she share his hunting exploits and trophies/rewards with his fellow tribesmen?

The cave where the void creature is.. the eye, it was broken

"They walked towards the nearest pillars, Sigvar making a conscious effort to keep his gaze high. Once, perhaps, this had been an enclosed cave, but the roof had long ago collapsed.

Sigvar had the impression that the collapse had been caused by something vast having been hurled down from above."

Did Gnar cause that? Yeah it said "Blow never landed" but.. hmm, maybe he can't remember the fight `till after the chill-time

Would be fun imaging him smacking it with a boulder and nailing it into Abyss haha
