If Skaarl the Drakalops is a wind spirit, perhaps Willump the Yeti is an ice spirit?

From Nunu's bio:

the Yeti: an uncommon creature with mystical qualities and raw physical strength.

From the Kled Q&A

Drakalops are desert wind spirits(...) Drakalops are totally immortal and unkillable. Drakalops are said to be the cause of the mysterious winds in Noxian deserts (...)

The Drakalops are supernaturally fast and immortal, much like the wind. Yetis evidently have ice-powers. Perhaps the Yeti's great strength represent the raw force of glaciers? Perhaps Willump eating stuff has some similar symbolism?

Well anyway, I think it'd be a neat detail if intentional and true. :)

Potentially, I can definetly see that, especially given how Yeti's are naturally magical creatures as well.

Mind you I'm still of the opinion that Frost Trolls and Ursine have some innate magic in their veins from being adapted to living in the Freljord, so I can still see them just being magical animals and not spirits that manifest in to the world, though I'm definetly leaning towards Yeti's being manifested Freljordian spirits now that you've mentioned it.

Now I want a Nunu VU to embellish the idea of Yeti's in the League universe since there's a fair bit of potential there.

I don't know. I kind of don't want every big mythical animal in Runeterra to end up being elemental spirits.

It would make him sound more impressive battle wise. Sure, he's a yeti and those are mythical in their own right, but that doesn't exactly mean he's able to compete with the likes of Renekton or Chogath. Being a spirit would also explain why he has his ice ult and why nunu's snowball does more than what a normal snow ball can do. Lore wise, they could make it so Nunu could be chosen by the Ice spirit because of his affinity with the cold or something. Definitely something Riot should think about for Nunu's lore update.

Wouldn't Sejuani's Bristle be just as likely to be an ice spirit as Willump?

Nah Willump is an Earth Spirit who happened to adapt a water attribute
