That thing mildly looks like Kog to me, but I could be wrong.
Also that looks like a paw print to me on the left.
edit: river battle runner?... is it scuttle? scuttle does like to run away and not fight back.
He looks a bit like a fish with legs.
Overall kinda weird,but LoL does have some characters with more humorous sides,so I guess it is possible.
What if the new champ is some sort of beast master?
After all there is someone searching for "kled" and said person calls him an ungrateful bastard,implying that kled is indebted to said person. What if it is someone who has a cowardly beast by his side?(though not sure what kled would actually do)
I just figured out something! What if Kled and this creature are hunter/pet champion. Kled is searching for his good-for-nothing pet who keeps running off into bushes.
My guess is that the beast would be used as a way of alerting and attacking champions from the brush, like a living ward. Kled may or may not be a Marksman since we already have Jhin as a Marksman.
Jhin = Marksman Aurelion Sol = Mage Taliyah = Mage/Support Kled and "beast" = Marksman/Assassin?
I actually feel like it's gonna be an incredibly silly, never-ending rivalry between the two.
I feel like Kled's gonna be this goofy, trying-to-be-serious kind of villainous character, while the creature will always mock him.
Something like the Coyote & the Road Runner ("The MEEP-MEEP bird") from Looney Tunes.
A fish that appears to have escaped. Hmm... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDl6AKWmVtg
Weirdly, looked up 'KLED' on google translate, and supposedly it translates to clades, in Javanese.
a group of organisms believed to have evolved from a common ancestor, according to the principles of cladistics.
Just a fun little bit of info.
Another one has been found. Appearantly Kled might be a noxian champ O_o

Sounds like he could be a noxian guy with this weird fish-like pet
Maybe it is the noxian yordle that people always wanted to see...
I dont know if its been posted but I think this Fish thing isnt the champ and rather Kled is the one drawing the posters, and his name at the bottom is his signature like a letter would have. I really hope That fish thing isnt the champion, not because hes a fish but because he just is too close too kog'maw. I wouldnt be sad if Kled were the fish thing but I would just like something new.
Riot with the mint names.
That is Kog'Maw. Whoever 'Kled' is seems to portray Kog'Maw as its rival.
My theory is that the creature is Kled's "pet" of sorts and that both Kled and the creature work together to fight on the Rift. Gameplay wise I would guess it's ether going to be like Kindred were the pet follows Kled around and interacts with some of his attacks or maybe you could switch between using Kled and the animal like Elise and Nidalee's ultimates. The first one seems more likely to me, and I feel it would lead to a cool ult where the creature goes super like in the last poster, but I thought I'd put out more options.
Guys is it just me or does the creature seem to evolve? In the beginning it is scared and tiny, in the second poster it's fin thingies are bigger and it doesn't look scared anymore, and finally it looks like a tiny dragon in the last poster. Maybe this champion evolves throughout the game, if so then that would be amazing!
the thing on the posters might be a lizard, because it said that river battle runner, so I was searching "what animal can run on water", and research is the lizzardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhsxo7vY8ac
Yo guys %%%%%s listen gather around kids so basically this new champ isn't gonna be a jinfler most likely it will be a toplaner or botlaner so we move on to the 1st poster you will see that this kled is called a coward and shit also in the second but in the third he becomes really strong and kled misses him so basically I'll say kleds ult is that it makes his coward animal 1 with him probably like swain and then he becomes much more stronger don't worry guys when the champ comes out you will thank me just gift me free rp ty
So I assume I'm the only one that notices that it has..barely any resemblance to Kog'maw at all, so far?..
I'd like to think its a yordle to an extent, but there was a 'yordle jungler' that was mentioned that they had wanted to release; however, it was stated that this was to not be a jungle-type champion.
I believe it will most likely be a mount-type deal, but not like everyone seems to think. The commanding around a specific other-unit is unlikely, similar to how everyone assumed Kindred was supposed to be, anyway. Kled is signed at the bottom of the poster, like many artists and publishers do. This doesn't exactly mean that the monster/mount shown is going to be the champion, nor does it mean that "Kled" is going to be the champion 100% either. As likely as it seems, its not the first time Riot threw a curve ball that not only satisfied, but took people looking 'in the box' for a loop, so to speak.
Then again, these are just personal opinions I guess. Funny how I logged on just to point out there..theres pretty much no resemblance to Kog'maw there. I mean, they are both small, but its like going seeing a picture of Tristana and assuming its a Pirate Ryze skin, because it has a cannon. xD If I'm wrong though, it'll be a good laugh, i'd assume.

You know, looking at the posters and seeing the name Kled at the end of each poster makes me wander if the new champion is actually the Kled fellow instead of the creature (naming him Maw'Kog 
). We have some information about this Kled person already: 1. his name is Kled, 2. He is looking for Maw'Kog who likes to run, 3. at different points he wanted Maw'Kog for different reasons, 4. He knows Sion 
and had regarded Maw'Kog as "the Pride of Noxus" making him a noxian. From this I would guess that this Kled is the champion and not the creature Maw'Kog depicted in all of the posters however the creature probably impacts Kled's game play in some form or another. Such as when he finds Maw'Kog he gains new abilities while riding Maw'Kog and that use of Maw'Kog is limited to when Maw'Kog runs and leaves Kled the champion to go and search for Maw'Kog again. I know this may seem far fetched, but this (to me) makes the most sense. Kled searches for Maw'Kog, finds him in the tall grass and rides Maw'Kog and now he is temporarily sejuani 
. This is purely my own thoughts and feelings and it's fine if you think the creature is the champion and not Kled, we will know with time. See you on the Rift.
So here's a thought...
Riot has been trying to make champions with more interesting types of playstyle, such as Kindred stacks, Illaoi tentacles, Bard chimes, and Ekko's ult. Basically they're all just mechanics of the champions to alter the way the game is played out. I'm willing to bet that this champion has another similar mechanic, that being his partner we see in the posters.
Whether it goes by the rank of his ult, time in the game, or drakes/baron's taken, I imagine that his partner will show up on the map to influence river fights. At the first appearance, it's fairly weak, whereas it's later/third appearance, it evolves to the "Pride of Noxus" you see in the last poster. I'm not sure where the bushes come into play.
I'm willing to bet it'll resemble the above in some kind of way. If anyone is willing to theorycraft with that based on what info they might've heard, I'd love to hear it.
Something I just realized:
If Kled is a noxian champion.
Does that mean that we'll get lore updates for the noxian champs O _ O?
and maybe even 
Ill stick my theory in here, I have never been involved in the discussion of teased champs before so I will most likely be wrong but this is what I think is going to happen.
There are currently 3 posters out. In each poster the creature seems to get bigger, stronger (less cowardly) and overall just more evolved. I do know that Riot have been wanting to implement a champ with a permanent pet, like Annie and Tibbers but more, well, permanent. So my rough guess to this champion is a Hunter with a persistent pet that will run away under certain circumstances.
If i was to get really spontaneous here then i'd say that every 6 levels, the pet will grow increasing his own and Klebs overall stats. The posters all depict different states of the little - fairly big - HUGE creature, this leads me to believe that whenever the creature changes or evolves that it will gain a new skill set or something along those lines. Like in the first poster it says "river battle runner, runs all the time" So if i was to guess id say the first version of the pet would make you have an ult involving it becoming a mount then running in a straight line or something like that.
Another skill that has more or less been confirmed by the Brush teaser is some kind of trap, this leads me back to my statement when I say the pet would run away under certain circumstances, I believe that whenever you ult and do the run thing then the pet will run away and you need to go place traps around in an attempt to capture it so that you can ult again.
This gets far-fetched now, but who cares right? It's all hypothetical! As I believe the creature caught in the trap will be klebs persistent pent, this leads me to think that one of klebs skills will be to heal his pet, because what use is a pet thats got a bear trap around his ankle when its a pet that is supposed to be running all the time?
Well that's just my theory! Please comment saying your own, you never know but riot might see one of our ideas then decide to adjust it because they like it!

I would like to remind you all that this champion coming is difinately not a jungler, even brofesco agrees with me on this one as he says it on the video.
