Nidalee

Original Nidalee

Snowdown Showdown

Is there a better time of year than Snowdown, when the air is crisp, the snow fluffy, and the chocolate hot? Toss a snowball or sing a carol; as long as you have good cheer, all will be well, and you'll have nothing to fear.

Snowdown

A fierce warrior who makes her home in the winter forest, Nidalee has little interest in Snowdown parties. Instead, she prefers to spend her time protecting cheerful woodland creatures from trappers and intruders, giving her furry friends a reason for the season.

Snow Bunny Nidalee

Treasures from days long passed, glimmering just within reach.

Legacy

Nidalee roams the tall grasses and bubbling tar pits of her home, a prehistoric savannah teeming with natural magic. She protects her leap of leopards by taking the appearance of their hunters, deceiving and disarming human threats with her wild skill.

Leopard Nidalee

Day Job

The grind isn't just work. It's the struggle, the hustle, sometimes invigorating, sometimes demoralizing. It's a weeklong rollercoaster with comedic bends and tragic drops, only to start all over again on Monday. Are we working hard or hardly working? It's all the same on the grind.

The Grind

Armed with a diverting maid outfit, a sunny disposition, and a vast knowledge of cleaning techniques, Nidalee catburgles her wealthy customers without them being any the wiser. She does it all for her kitties, who have grown used to some very high quality scratching posts.

French Maid Nidalee

Though their empires were swallowed by the sands, mighty Pharaohs once ruled the sun-baked dunes of the Great Desert.

Pharaoh

Powerful guardians stand watch over the tomb of an ancient horror, so that it may never threaten the world again. But they may already be too late...

Guardian of the Sands

Worshiped as a god-queen of the Great Desert, Nidalee is the avatar of the glorious cat-god, Sypakaa. As war tears through the land, Nidalee will do whatever it takes to protect her city and her temple from those who would dare threaten them.

Pharaoh Nidalee

Who said witches can't have fun? Whoever it was, they're probably a frog now. Or some other cursed vermin, doomed to forever wander the streets, watching the eve's celebrations from afar. Pretty harsh punishment, but what did you expect? They may know how to throw a party, but at the end of the night, they're still witches!

Bewitching

Parents tell their children stories of wicked witches and the like, those that lurk the streets one night each year. "Stay in your bed, little one, for darkness is their friend." These tales are only partly true; while the ghouls of this enchanted evening love a good scare, they'd never harm a hair on a child's head. Except for the very naughty ones.

Tales from the Rift

She is a cat. That is a hat. Legally, we're not allowed to put those two thoughts together.

Bewitching Nidalee

There are those who still ask: between man and beast, who is the better hunter? With her alien biology allowing her to embody both, Nidalee of the Headhunters answers that question with, “I am.” 

Headhunter Nidalee

Three great empires vie for land and power, bringing their all to bear in a test of martial might. Armies will clash. Heroes will rise. Legends will be made.

Lunar Revel: Warring Kingdoms

Rival empires vie for power as they attempt to unify the lands, while brave warriors and stoic generals test their skill against the greatest heroes of the era. It is a time of war, and a time of legends.

Warring Kingdoms

Of the legends surrounding Nidalee, it is difficult to know what is true and what is mere myth. Some within the Warring Kingdoms say she fights with the wild ferocity of a white tiger, that the tiger's spirit dwells within her heart. Others believe she is the white tiger, that she can become the beast itself.

Warring Kingdoms Nidalee

Commemorating the annual League of Legends season start.

Challenger

Some say holding up the Summoner's Cup before a stadium of cheering fans is the greatest prize... others say it's the cash. The folks who make Skins on the League of Legends team? We think that the best part of winning Worlds is being immortalized in your favorite game. And we aren't biased!

Challenger Nidalee

Space, the most dangerous frontier! Only the Super Galaxy Defense Force, with its seemingly endless supply of fresh academy recruits, is prepared to explore the farthest uncharted worlds and defend from the most ruthless alien threats. Best gig in the galaxy!

Super Galaxy

//EMERGENCY BROADCAST, ALL CHANNELS//<br>The Galaxy Threat Level has been raised to CRIMSON. [REDACTED] is under attack by [REDACTED]. HQ estimates [REDACTED] hours before total destruction, with collateral damage likely on neighboring systems. Super Galaxy ACTIVATE!

Of the new class of Super Galaxy cadets, Nidalee—with her exceptional skill for throwing projectiles through zero-gravity—shows the most promise. As the Spider Queen continues her reign of terror, the team will need Nidalee's cunning tactics and keen hunting instincts if they want to save the galaxy.

Super Galaxy Nidalee

Timeless is the conflict between the Nightbringers and Dawnbringers. On one side, the forces of chaos and darkness bring change, while on the other, the forces of order and light bring structure. It is these gods and their descendents that shape a nascent world, and who can say whether the future will yield brighter days... or darker nights.

Nightbringer and Dawnbringer

All things are born from conflict; none can escape it. Harmony is an illusion, and only those who embrace that illusion will reap life's greatest rewards.

Nothing exudes the "beach vibes and cool tunes" lifestyle more than the Ocean Song Festival. From Seraphine's mellow songs to Yone's experimental DJ set, there's a vibe for everyone, so feel the sand between your toes, taste the salty air, and lose yourself to the best music of the summer.

Ocean Song

It's summer, baby! The sun's out, the breeze's warm, and the water's cool. Everybody's leaving their rivalries and grudges at home, and bringing only swimsuits and good vibes. There'll be plenty of time for punching and yelling later. Just sit back, enjoy the music, and soak up the fun.

Ocean Song Nidalee

The Ocean Song Festival is lucky to have Nidalee as its performer stylist, with her fashion guides selling almost as much as her albums, but in reality she's here as a featured part of Yone's show. She was the first person he showed his lyrics to, and it's her honor to lend them her voice.

The oldest rivalry the world has ever known: man's best friend pitted against the internet's greatest heroes. Only one faction will emerge victorious from the gnawing maw of battle between cats and dogs. Hopefully they don't get their fur too dirty: the only thing worse than losing is bathtime.

Cats Versus Dogs

Adorable squeaky toy or deadly weapon? In Nidalee's claws, a Friendly Fish (TM) can be both!

The Eidola Vida were once mortal but, upon death, were reborn as spirits of life from their families' love. The Eidola Muerte were forgotten souls who, in death, roamed the afterlife until they found their own makeshift families. Both sides cannot be seen, only felt through their Ardor: magical flames that either help cultivate life or extinguish it.

La Ilusión

Life and death may be the only true constants in the universe, but the one thing that can match their power is family. Life cannot exist without death, and death cannot exist without life, but the bonds of family are strong enough to ensure no spirit is truly forgotten.

Sueño de Vida

La Ilusión Nidalee

A jaguar leader of her own pack, Nidalee was both feared and respected by her neighboring humans. When she fell to a group of hunters for protecting her family, the shared love not just from her pack, but from her neighbors, reincarnated Nidalee as an Eidola Vida. With the power to assume both jaguar and human form now, she watches over her kin from afar.

The Spirit Blossom Festival is an ancient and celebrated time in Ionia, when the door to the spirit world is opened, the dead return to their loved ones, and spirits of all manner turn their eyes towards the living. From the benevolent Kanmei, to the obsessive Akana—their stories play out again and again, like shadows on a paper lantern.

The Tale of the Wise Cat is told in many ways across Ionia, but all begin the same: “There once was a cat who lived far beyond her years...” Though age brought power, allowing her to shift form between feline and mortal, her questions only deepened. She searched for answers, unaware that the wisdom she yearned for had always lived within.
