Is Baron Nashor supposed to be some sort of Void creature?
I was always curious of this since the had said that he had "broken through and corrupted his side of the jungle".

The many neutral monsters on the Fields of Justice are constructs inspired by real creatures from Runeterra. The Baron Nashor you see on the map is actually an incomplete facsimile of the true Baron Nashor, who is now the subject of myth and legend. The story goes that Baron Nashor was a ferocious worm that ruled the Serpentine River, which flows through Summoner’s Rift. He was such a fearsome and powerful beast that even the armies of Demacia and Noxus steered clear of the river, unwilling to chance an encounter with the Baron.
When Summoner’s Rift was constructed, the Baron vanished, leaving no conclusive evidence as to where he went or why he left in the first place. Obviously the rumor-mill has churned out many explanations, but all we know for sure is that the Senior Arcane Architect for the Summoner’s Rift arena was said to have crafted the version you see today from no more than a molted scale and interviews with those who had seen the beast and lived.
tl;dr no he isnt
A Rioter from LAS said that Baron was a void creature... but... LAS knows nothing
I mean just from where I'm standing since the old description of Baron is probably going to the garbage heap with a ton of the older lore.
He fits the colour scheme and anatomy of other void dudes: 
I mean it wouldn't be that far fetched of an idea to have him come from the void, but in the end it's up the writers over at Rito Inc.
It seems plausible but i rather him not be a void creature. I think he should be more intricately tied to the Rift.
There's a lot of fantastical and epic creatures on the Rift and I like the idea of Baron being the most powerful and legendary of them all.
Him being a void creature makes him feel out of place in the rift at least to me..
