Lee Sin: Champion Spotlight and Gameplay Guide - League of Legends
The Brackern are ancient creatures inhabiting the Shuriman Continent, particularly in the desert regions.
Dormun are massive beasts with thick chitinous plates that can detect hidden water sources in Shurima's harsh desert. Some nomadic tribes have made homes on their backs, maintaining a symbiotic relationship by cleaning the creatures and hunting pests.

Shurima hosts diverse wildlife including:
- Eka'Sul: Desert goats that travel in herds
- Mwatis: Goat-like creatures valued for their wool and protective head plates
- Kmiros: Giant scarabs that hunt travelers in swarms
- Xer'Sai: Void creatures that plague southern deserts, ranging from dog-sized to massive specimens like their queen Rek'Sai

Sandswimmers are large quadrupeds that "swim" under the sand, feeding on small desert creatures. Their predictable migration patterns make them popular with scavengers who ride on their backs.

Skallashi are large four-legged herbivores commonly used as transportation across Shurima. Their distinctive long legs and hardy nature make them ideal desert mounts. Though known for bad tempers, they're treated with reverence and often decorated with protective symbols. Owning one indicates prosperity, and larger specimens can be fitted with small living quarters for comfortable travel.
