Part 4 · Monsters & Creatures
Badgerbear
“If you came here to be a friend, you’re very welcome, you hear? But if someone with a cunning heart sets foot here, they’ll feel the mighty protector’s revenge!” The nature of Runeterra’s creatures is something unique, and it’s common to find creatures that resemble hybrids of species that could never actually interbreed to produce such beasts. Among Runeterra’s unique creatures are the Badgerbears: sturdy beasts that blend the traits of bears and badgers.
Because of their strength and territoriality, these are creatures many wish to avoid as enemies, with some even being trained in Demacia to guard places or important artifacts, wearing armor made specifically for their bodies.
