What would be some good ideas for non-comedic Tahm Kench skins?

So far, both skins for Tahm Kench have been lighter takes on him (generally), with one in chef's attire and the other an Urf costume. But as one of the most unambiguously evil characters in the game, I think his next skin should be more straight-up dark or serious. Like an alien space mobster skin similar to Dreadnova, or a overt demon theme, or even a Dark Star skin, seeing how he's trying to consume everything in sight. I'm just hoping he doesn't fall into a trap where he doesn't receive skins often and whenever he does, it's a joke one.

Could make a sarlac-eqsue sand pit monster out of him.

Or make him a carnivorous plant.

Maybe how non Blige-Water people perceive him? Ionian Tahmkench? Or Noxian Tahm?

Mobster kench cause he is alot like a mob boss with the way he carries himself-850rp no changes just some new voiceovers

Mecha Kench-1350rp change everythine voicelines,animations,everything

Cosmic reaver kench-?rp idk how they would set it up but it would be cool to see a voided starfish

Dark star tahm kench where he's kinda like this universe' galactis the eater of worlds (but more eldritch of course)

His ultimate could reveal that his stomach is literally a black hole!

I could see a Battlecast or Mecha TK work. Maybe Blood Moon or Risen for Ionian/Shuriman versions of him?

I really hate TK but skins which would fit, imo, are prehistoric, deep sea (abyssal) and nightmare TK

Void/Dark Star would probably be scary.

Wouldn't a mafia skin for him be really cool?

Void Kench would be dope.

I'd go the full demonic route with an Infernal Kench skin. His ult can have him swim through molten lava.

As Sharjo said, some kind of an Elderwood Tahm Kench with carnivorous plant inspirations could be pretty damn cool.

There's always the possible Void skin, with him being even more monstrous, with purpose and spikes and perhaps a new, special rig for a meaty, spiked tongue, and Abyssal Voyage being a Void rift/portal. Perhaps he could have a third eye instead of a hat, to fill in the silhouette with a way that makes sense for the thematic? Though, that will probably require some adjustments for the animation cycles in which he does things with the hat (when he bows, for example), as well as new animation cycles and rig for the eye. With a Void-ish processed voice, it could either be a very features-heavy 1350 RP skin, or a 1850 RP skin if they decide to go for completely new Voiceover and (maybe) rig instead.

There's also a possible Arcade/Boss Tahm Kench, inspired by Pacman's constant "WAKA WAKA WAKA" jaw snaps. I kind of feel like Tahm Kench and Wario have some similarities which could be explores with such a concept, too.

-_-

Anyways, I may be in love with the concept of Wonderland Tahm Kench, by VegaColors/Ze/ZeOcelot:

Everything about it is just brilliant: From the Passive stacking to slowly form the Cheshire Cat's known smiley face out of thin air (as if he was invisible!), to the colors of the clothing, to the 'hungered' animation. It's all just so good.

I don't think chef Tahm Kench is a comedy skin. he is evil indeed but a good part of his lore included eating stufff.
