What if Volibear's Aesthetic "Upgrades" Upon Each Time He Levels Up His Ult/Kills

So in some of the recent lore Volibear is seen and in it he is described a little less like a polar bear and more like an absolute monstrosity bear. He apparently has horns and several eyes, torn flesh and fur revealing his bones and such. Udy witnesses Voli messing around with corpses, and Voli either mentions or it is seen that Voli seems to be regenerating back his health while playing around with these dead bodies.

A huge change from the original Volibear. As a Voli main, I am a little sad, but whatever, the new direction is interesting as well.

However, this last bit of the update sounds a bit like current Volibears passive where he regenerates health. Currently, there's no lore connection at all to this passive. It's just "He's a tanky bear guy...lets make him heal fast!".

But this new update to the lore gives more of a connection to him being able to regenerate health. Since Volibear is slated for a VGU sooner than later I think this could be connected.

I would also find it really interesting if that Volibear starts the game off as this shredded monstrosity bear with horns and several eyes and face all torn apart. The more Volibear either gets kills/or levels up the stronger his regeneration ability becomes and the more polar bear in aesthetic he becomes as he renews himself.

It also definitely makes him more than "Armored bear".

I would love this. Another thing that would be cool is just battle damage and the lower health he is he reveals that monster god bear appearance from the lore story. Maybe with him getting more battle damaged he gets some advantages and weaknesses like he gets his healing passive with maybe some tenacity but loses movement speed in the process, Idk. I use to be a Volibear main and he was the champion that got me out of bronze years ago I love this direction they're going in and I hope hes the next VGU so we can see this demi god bear as his lore describes.

His model is already WAY different from the lores one. Voli will probably get something like, less hp% more flash and bone showing (true to the lore)

WTF has the lore team done with Volibear? I thought he was supposed to be a demigod of the Freljord, not some zombie bear.

I would find that interesting. I really like the new direction they’re taking Volibear as a monstrous almost demon-like demigod.
