An apex predator,Rek'Saiis a mercilessVoid-spawn that tunnels beneath the ground to ambush and devour unsuspecting prey.

Background[]

Early life[]

Rek'Sai originated in theVoid, as the queen of theXer'Sai. Thousands of years ago, she enteredRuneterrathrough a portal toShurima, where she and the Xer'Sai made a home within the sands, claiming parts of the region as their hunting territory and hunting anyone they found. Alongside her brood, Rek'Sai devoured thousands of people in the desert, causing the Shurimans to fear her as a bringer of death.

Contemporary history[]

Recent events[]

Scourge of the Desert[]

Rek'Sai was targeted by aNoxianhunting team attended by Aelon, a noble who intended to capture her to use in the Noxian arenas. Initially arrogant and eager to pursue her for the sake of glory, he began to humble to the Shuriman residents over time and listened to their stories of Rek'Sai. But after witnessing the destruction Rek'Sai and her brood were capable of, Aelon began to doubt his faith in the hunt. Aelon's mind was scarred by witnessing Rek'Sai's carnage firsthand, seeing her as death incarnate. While he survived the encounter thanks to his Shuriman companions' warnings, the traumatic experience caused Aelon to become disillusioned with Noxus' values, making him decide to leave the empire.

Sai Kahleek[]

Rek'Sai's territory in theSai Kahleekwas visited by six Shuriman teenagers and their camel. As they discussed the myths about Rek'Sai they had heard about, they heard a bell alarming them of something coming from behind them. The boys felt a jolt of Void energy before seeing their camel die within seconds. Disturbed, they tried to tiptoe towards the black rocks nearby, but the rocks moved further away.

They eventually came across a gigantic tunnel made by Rek'Sai herself, and decided to go into the tunnel in hope of finding water. Suddenly, Rek'Sai leapt out from the burrow and killed Xalee by crushing his spine with her fangs. The boys' leader, Shahib, instructed them to duck before Rek'Sai dragged Kall into her burrow. They managed to escape from the burrow but Rek'Sai followed them out, lunging at Jaheje but missing. She burrowed into the sand and knocked the group's youngest member VezKah into the air, killing him upon landing. Rek'Sai chased the remaining boys into the valley, cornering them and leaving them no choice but to run straight ahead. When Caleeb was too exhausted to continue, Rek'Sai killed him too. After witnessing a portal directly leading to the Void, the Xer'Sai's true home, Shahib encouraged Jaheje to escape and tell the story, offering to sacrifice himself to Rek'Sai as a distraction. After seeing Shahib's body getting desecrated by Rek'Sai, Jaheje broke down in tears from all the trauma he went through.

Reaching theRenek Riveras the only survivor of the group, Jaheje told his story. Few believed him at first, but many eventually realized that Jaheje was right upon witnessing the truth of the Sai Kahleek. He taught the other cast-off boys of Shurima how to survive the Sai Kahleek, warning them of Rek'Sai.

Appearance[]

Rek'Sai is a colossal Xer'Sai with a purple body armored with an exoskeleton of blue plates. Her body shape is scorpion-like with four insectoid legs, two gigantic forelegs with four claws each, and a barbed tail. She has four sharp upper teeth with two fleshy mandibles on either side of her mouth in place of a lower jaw. She has a shark-like fin on her back which glows with Void energy when she senses her prey.

Personality[]

Rek'Sai is a primitive, animalistic predator who only communicates through roars and chitters. Her main drive is to burrow through the Shuriman desert and savagely consume every lesser being she senses. She has a motherly care towards her brood and wants to protect them fromBel'Veth, whom mentions that theWatchersdid not originally create her with these instincts.

Relations[]

OtherVoidborn[]

Rek'Sai,Cho'Gath,Kha'Zix,Kog'Maw, andVel'Kozeach belong to different member species of the collective known as theVoidborn. Rek'Sai is the queen of her Voidborn species (the Xer'Sai) as well as the largest among their number. Rek'Sai came toShurimafromthe Voidmillennia ago (legend has it she's been around since beforeAzir'stime) making her one of the Voidborn who have dwelt the longest onRuneterra(she has spent all this time building a portal to the Void, using the life essence of her victims as fuel to open it). Rek'Sai isnot as sapientas the other Voidborn champions (she is to them what a dangerous animal is to humans).

Trivia:
Rek'Sai is the first femaleVoidbornreleased.
Rek'Sai is the firstfighterchampion released without a secondary role.
Rek'Sai's design was greatly influenced[2]by the canceled championOmen.Just like withCho'Gath,Malphite,Nautilus, andSkarner, Rek'Sai's in-game size is smaller thanin-universe(she isestimatedto be as large as a 'smallT. rex,mammoth,whale shark, large but not huge').
Rek'Sai had her game assets reused for severalfeatured game modes.She was given a retexture and features as a monster called the "Grumpy Burrow Monster" (along with its huge variant) inInvasion.Her animations were reused for theAnchortail,Brightcore, andRhinodonmonsters inOdyssey: Extraction.
