I noticed that Lol has Trolls and began wondering if LoL fantasy-verse had any of the other staple high-fantasy baddies.

Dark Elves? https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/176/1340117-kick_ass_dark_elf_lord_01161027.jpg

Wood Elves?https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5e/91/20/5e9120bb1bdf0ee6aef58301900492f3.jpg

Orcs? http://www.aidedd.org/dnd/images/orc.jpg

Goblins? http://vladigor.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/plan-goblinov.jpg

I was wondering how we are 100+ champions in and yet none of them happen to be everyones favorite knife-ears,big green bullys or "totally not green Koblods" . At least not outside of a couple skins anyways.

No. Not every fantasy worlds needs the same trite monsters. I'm actually quite happy that League has managed to create such a vivid world without resorting to Tolkein fantasy tropes.

No, and while a fan of orcs I am glad that we don't have any in Runeterra.

Not that something is automatically generic when you put in orcs and elves, but it gives that impression quickly.

Elves: Vastayan (proud, secluded, naturaly magical, long lived) Orcs: Noxians (bloodlust, might makes right) Goblins don't lend themselves that well to a champion due to usually being potrayed as very weak.

We have a Cannon Goblin, her name is Tristana

Well, to be fair, Goblins are like hairless green Yordles, the Orcs look like "pretty" Green "LoL Trolls" and Elves are lame since they are just humans with weird ears and weird skin color.

... and we could even say that Orcs are Vastaya... with Gromp DNA or something like that
