Wukong

While some champions have been inspired by legends and myths, Wukong is taken right out of the Chinese mythology, being based on Sun Wukong, a powerful monkey icon. This champion's story isn't too much different, having been a warrior named Kong in the jungle, who sought to fight the strongest in the world. He eventually met another champion named Master Yi, a powerful swordsman. He agreed to be Yi's apprentice, taking the new name of Wukong and wielding a mighty staff. Its a nice, new spin on an old tale.

Wukong's design takes all the best parts of Chinese culture and puts it into a nice neat package. Bright red and gold, combined with spiky fur and a clever smile. Its a hard champion not to like and its a fitting tribute to Chinese culture.
