Darius: The Hand of Noxus - League of Legends Champion Profile
The Dormun are massive creatures native to Shurima, protected by thick chitinous plates. They have evolved to survive harsh desert conditions by detecting hidden water sources. Some nomadic tribes have built permanent homes on their backs, maintaining a symbiotic relationship by keeping the creatures clean and hunting pests.

- Kmiros: Giant scarab swarms that prey on travelers
- Xer'Sai: Void creatures that plague southern deserts, ranging from dog-sized to massive like their queen Rek'Sai

Sandswimmers are large quadrupeds that swim under the sand in predictable patterns. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly adapted for this movement style. They feed on small desert creatures that other predators ignore.

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores common across Shurima. Their long legs and hardy nature make them ideal for desert travel. Though bad-tempered, they're treated with reverence - their hides are painted with protective symbols and horns decorated with charms. Owning one indicates prosperity, and larger specimens can support built-in travel rooms.
