**Amumu, The Sad Mummy** is a playable Champion in *League of Legends*. He is a former child emperor - or Yordle emperor, according to some tales - of Shurima, suffering a terrible curse that kills anything he touches while stopping him from dying himself.

## Background

Legend claims that Amumu is a lonely and melancholy soul from ancient Shurima, roaming the world in search of a friend. Doomed by an ancient curse to remain alone forever, his touch is death, his affection ruin. Those who claim to have seen him describe a living cadaver, small in stature and wrapped in creeping bandages. Amumu has inspired myths, songs, and folklore told and retold for generations such that it is impossible to separate truth from fiction.

## Stats

**Attack Potency:** **Unknown** physically, **Large Town Level** with his Curse (While angered, released a powerful blast that destroyed a sizeable town and affected clouds in the sky.)

**Speed:** **Human Level** (Lumbers around slowly and moves at the pace of an ordinary child.)

**Durability:** **Unknown**, possibly **Large Town Level** (Was never hit or attacked. Can likely scale to the destructive power of his Curse.)

**Hax:** **Death Manipulation** (His touch causes near-instant death. Plant life dies if nearby.)

**Intelligence:** Behaves like an ordinary child with no training or experience. Lacks intelligence in most areas, including emotional intelligence, and controls his impulses poorly.

**Stamina:** Likely high or infinite, as he is either undead or immortal and travels frequently.

## Powers, Techniques, and Equipment

### Techniques

* **Cursed Touch:** Innate Ability. Amumu’s basic attacks mark enemies with ‘Curse’ for 3 seconds. Cursed targets receive 10% bonus true damage from all magic damage. The Curse is refreshed every basic attack, or after using Despair. Outside of gameplay, Amumu’s touch instantly kills anyone who touches him, including humans, animals, and plant life surrounding him.
* **Bandage Toss:** Amumu can use his bandages to attach to surfaces or people by magically shooting them forward. He deals magic damage to the first enemy hit, stuns them for 1 second, and pulls himself to them.
* **Despair:** Amumu starts crying, creating a pool of tears around him and dealing magic damage to nearby enemies. This deals a percentage of the target’s maximum health.
* **Tantrum:** Passively, Amumu takes reduced physical damage. When activated, Amumu unleashes his anger, swinging his bandages around himself to attack nearby enemies and deal magic damage. The cooldown is lowered by half a second every time Amumu is hit by a basic attack.
* **Curse of the Sad Mummy:** Ultimate Ability. Amumu unleashes his power with an outward blast and, entangling nearby enemies with his bandages, dealing magic damage and stunning them briefly. Outside of gameplay, this ability can cause powerful blasts of magical energy with the properties of Amumu’s curse.

## Weaknesses

* Amumu is merely a child mentally and is unlikely to seek out conflict on his own. He is still afraid of insects and wild animals despite his curse and his emotional state is its own type of depression.
* The Curse itself has some form of sentience, and sometimes harasses Amumu, whispering that he will be alone forever.
* The Curse is not instant - if Amumu touches a limb, and the victim cuts off the limb quickly enough, before the Curse travels far, they will survive.
