Poro

"Born out of love, blinded by glee,
Innocent, pure, magic and free,
Faithful, trusting; often naïve,
Soft, furry; their hearts hold a key."

—Unknown             

Poros are the mysterious, magical, and most-loved creatures originating from the harsh, unforgiving Freljord. They are equal parts truth, valor, and innocence. They have since spread across all of Runeterra, being present on every known continent, in every region and nation.

The color of their fur is described as “very light blue, like Freljordian snow”. They have a heart-shaped underbelly because they’re made of love. A poro’s horns perk up when it’s excited and droop down when it’s scared. Poros paddle through deep snow with their front paws.

Poros stick their tongue out because they are incredibly warm, and this is why they can survive the harsh cold environment of the Howling Abyss in Freljord. Their favorite treats are called Poro-Snax, a savory blend of free-range, grass-fed Avarosan game hens and organic, non-ZMO Freljordian herbs frosted with Freljordian ice crystals that contains the essential nutrients necessary to keep a Poro purring with pleasure.
