Brackern[]
Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.
Dormun[]
The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.
Eka'Sul[]
Desert goats that travel in herds.
Mwatis[]
Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.
Kmiros[]
Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for 
Rammus.
Outerbeasts[]
- Main article: Voidborn
Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.
- Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger.
Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.
Ralsiji[]
Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.
Shuriman Camel[]
A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.
Sandswimmers[]
Sandswimmers
Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.
Skallashi[]
The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Gwen
GameplayGwen is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Subsequent basic attacks on-hit also refresh the duration of Snippy stacks.
- The amount of Snippy stacks Gwen has is indicated below her health bar.
Spell shield blocks only one snip.- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The first snip happens at 0.13 seconds, the last one at the end of the cast time.
- Bonus snips from Snippy stacks each happen at 0.45, 0.4, 0.35 and 0.23 seconds into the cast time.
- Hallowed Mist's
untargetability does not apply to 
monsters nor 
turrets, meaning they are allowed to gain aggro against Gwen and attack her regardless of being in the mist or not.
- However, Gwen will not take damage from monsters that hit her and are outside of the mist.
- Hallowed Mist does not grant untargetability against enemy
pets inside the zone even if their source is not. - All
projectiles targeted at Gwen by enemy champions outside the mist are 
destroyed upon attempting to pass through the mist or being inside the mist.
- Targeted projectiles sourced by minions or monsters will not be destroyed and can still hit Gwen even if they are outside of the zone.
- If Gwen
dashes out of the area, the mist will automatically move to the dash's destination instead of Gwen's location.
- The mist will stop moving immediately if the dash is interrupted.
- The recast will move the mist's center 75 units through Gwen's location at the time.
- If she is dashing, the mist will move 75 units through her dash destination instead.
- If she is
- The mist will teleport to Gwen's location if she
blinks a far distance. - Enemy champions outside the mist are indicated with a broken sword.
- Hallowed Mist will indicate that Gwen is Immune whenever an effect attempts to hit Gwen.
- Skip 'n Slash has no minimum dash range.
- The basic attack reset is not considered one for
Hail of Blades.(note)
- Details
- Gwen can still move during Needlework's cast times.
- Dying during the cast time will prevent the remaining needles of the cast from being launched.
- The first cast's cast time is 0.25 seconds, and the second and third's cast times are each 0.5 seconds. Gwen launches the needles during the cast times.
- For the second cast, the first needle launches 0.264 seconds after the start of the cast, the second needle launches after 0.132 seconds, and the third needle launches 0.231 seconds after the first.
- For the third cast, the first needle launches 0.264 seconds after the start of the cast. Each additional needle launches 0.066 seconds seconds after the previous one.
- The needles of each cast will fire based on Gwen's location at 0.264 seconds into each cast time (in case of the first cast, this is at the end of the cast time).
- The needles fire from 100 units behind the cast location.
- The width of all needle missiles decreases with their distance travelled, forming an approximately triangular missile hitbox.
- Needles of the same cast all travel the same line at a slight delay after one another. The visual origins are offset (by 70 and 110 units to either side from the center missile spawn location), but the actual hitting missiles all follow the central line.
- Spell shield blocks only one needle.
- Needlework is placed on a 0.1-second cooldown when the cast time completes and when Gwen gains a recast (before gaining a recast via the attack, the recast remains sealed even while not on cooldown).
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
Champion skins[]
- This article section only contains champion skins. For all associated collection items, see Gwen (Collection).
A former doll transformed and brought to life by magic, Gwen wields the very tools that once created her. She carries the weight of her maker's love with every step, taking nothing for granted. At her command is the Hallowed Mist, an ancient and protective magic that has blessed Gwen's scissors, needles, and sewing thread. So much is new to her, but Gwen remains joyfully determined to fight for the good that survives in a broken world.
