Is Zyra Good, Evil, or What?

I've been thinking about Zyra lately (LCS and Kumungu Jungle), and I've always wondered about her. With most champions, you're able to tell what their morality or beliefs are, but I don't know about Zyra. She's a predatory plant, but she doesn't want to die, and has a whole world to discover, unless Riot ties her to the jungle like Maokai.

Nope, you're pretty much spot on.

Zyra doesn't really care for anyone but herself; so I guess in a sense she is evil cause she goes around eating people basically, but aside from that she has no real affinity.

Neutral evil.

Good and Evil is not a good metric for anything, I would suggest you get out of the bad DnD alignment mindset.

I don't think I have a dnd mindset but ok.

Do you believe she'll be a protagonist or antagonist in the likely Kumungu story?

It really depend who's point of view Riot decide to focus on. Beside I don't think Kumungu has enough champion for a grand narrative at best I think Zyra will get a flavor text where she is the protagonist.

When it comes to Kumungu, she'll probably be bad if she ends up trying to eat some of the ohter champions, but she isn't "evil".

Like, if she's only trying to kill you because she's hungry, and she needs food to survive, than that's not evil because she isn't being morally wrong in her actions.

Now, if she is planning to eat you purely because she can, not because she needs to, tries to torture and play with you a bit, then eat you alive because that's the most pain, then yes. That is evil.

We won't know until we get a bit more info on her,but judging from her look and attitude she seems to be rather evil(or at least not good)

I like to think that Zyra is neutral. She isn't evil because she isn't morally bad.

If she is naturally acting on instinct and therefore kill humans because they are a food source, then it's not evil.

We kill and slaughter pigs for food, so everyone can eat. Are we evil aligned becasue of it? NO. It's nature.

Where does it say she ate people aside from the body she has now?

Idk. Don't think she has eaten anyone. Hasn't done anything either.

Bigger question: What does Zyra even do besides make plants grow? What has she done to make her good, evil, or what? She ate someone and got a body. That's it.

Zyra eats people all the time. Her prey thinks itself clever... http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/010/2/a/my___you_look_delicious_____by_raichiyo33-d5r3v0h.jpg

But I guess she's about as good or evil as the Venus flytrap you had when you were a kid.

Except she is intelligent and understands that her prey are intelligent and have feelings... hmmm...
