Speculations on Vastaya champions that are already present in the game

We know from the lore that some Vastaya travelled to the Freljord, but it has only been explicitly said that they were the progenitors of Urf's race. The Ursine Volibear are basically bear people, so they could be very well a subclass of the chimeric phylum that adapted to the harsh and cold enviroment.

We also know that some Vastaya went to Shurima, so it's possible that we've finally unveiled the mistery of Rammus's origins.

Then we have Alistar, who looks like a minotaur, which is half man and half bull.

And finally there's Rengar, who perfectly fits the description of a Vastaya.

Edit: if it wasn't already obvious, MonkeyKing is a Vastaya. The monkey-looking tribe that Santangelo first encountered was most likely Wukong's tribe.

Edit 2: We also have Nidalee, who can shapeshift into an animal whenever she wants.


So, what do you think about it? Are my speculation plausible?

I kinda hope they don't all fall under vastayan, actually. If Valoran's general sapiant populace can be summed up as "human, yordle, vastayan", that really kinda seems disappointingly narrow.

What about Fizz? Could he be vestayan or has he been confirmed as a yordle?

I could also see Nunu being a vestayan child with a VGU.

I suspect Wukong is a 100% Vastaya.

Rengar and Alistar are possibilities, and I hope they're descended from Vastaya, as otherwise I have all sorts of questions about those two. The lack of Ionian or Freljordian origin might need to be explained though.

Rammus is almost certainly NOT. He's sort of his own, entirely inhuman creature. I feel the same is true of Volibear -- while he has animal qualities, he also only really has sentience as a HUMAN quality, and seems much more like his own race entirely.

Twitch is almost certainly not as well. He's crazy science.

Nidalee is likely a vastayan too,after all it does mention that some of them can transform.

It mentioned the Freljordian scaled manatee. Could Urf be a vastayan?
