Let's Not Forget: We've Seen Other Animal-Like Yordles Before...

Sure, Mortal Reminder isn't canon, but since it came out pretty recently, I think it's easy to say that it's a good teaser at the Bandle City we're going to get. With the recent Yuumi leak, several people are reacting to her being a catlike Yordle with the impression that she can't be a Yordle because of that.

Well, according to what we see of Bandle City in Mortal Reminder, that's not the case whatsoever. We see Yordles based on all sorts of cute furry mammals here, from dogs to rabbits to foxes. And of course, with Fizz being confirmed as a Yordle, we know that Yordles can be even more diverse than just mammalian, since Fizz is an amphibious Yordle, although amphibian-like Yordles seem to be much rarer than their mammalian counterparts for sure. But for all we know, there could even be birdlike or reptilian Yordles out there too.

This could also explain why, if Amumu turns out to be a Yordle after all, he has no visible ears beneath his bandages. Since he's a mummy, it's hard to say if he would have had typical big Yordle ears in life, but it's possible that he could have looked like an animal with very small ears, such as a gerbil.

I really can't wait for the full Yordle update and getting a good look at what Bandle City and all the different Yordles actually look like, besides what we can see of them in this music video. And I'd love for future Yordle champions to give us different types of Yordles too! The brown floppy-eared dog in the music video looks particularly adorable, as does the beige-furred foxlike girl. What sort of new Yordles would you guys like to see down the line, now that we have Yuumi to start spicing things up?
