Trivia Edit

• Rengar was designed by Classick.^[1]
• Rengar's lore is possibly inspired by the short story The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell.
  • Rengar's concept might be inspired by the Charr, a race from the Guild Wars franchise.
  • Rengar also shares a resemblance to the one-eyed cat warrior Planeswalker, Ajani Goldmane, from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
• The name of Rengar's passive,  Unseen Predator, his dread-like haircut and wrist blades, his stealth ultimate and its visual effects are references to the Predator franchise.
• Rengar's appearance is also similar to one of the alien bounty hunters in Samurai Jack.
• Rengar is the first champion to have two unique items: Bonetooth Necklace and Head of Kha'Zix. He is the second champion to have at least one unique item, the first being Viktor.
• Rengar's dance is a reference to the New Zealand tribal dance, Maori haka, particularly the Ka Mate. A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
• Rengar is one of six champions to reference another champion in-game, the others being Renekton, Volibear, Graves, Kha'Zix, and  Quinn.

  • In the Headhunter skin's splash art, you can see Dragon's and Baron Nashor's skulls on the left side.This shoulder pad seems to be Vilemaw's skull.
  • In the Headhunter skin's splash art, Rengar is seen wearing his unique item Bonetooth Necklace.

Relations Edit

• Rengar fought against Kha'Zix and lost his left eye during the conflict. He seeks to one day slay Kha'Zix and add the monster's head to his collection as his most prized trophy.
  • The conflict between Rengar and Kha'Zix is a reference to the Alien vs. Predator series.

The Hunt Is On Edit

As part of the event The Hunt Is On!, Rengar and Kha'Zix are assigned to defeat one another in battle. The first to score a kill on the other claims victory (assists count). The event begins randomly after Kha'Zix has used all 3 evolution points, Rengar is in possession of the Bonetooth Necklace with at least 10 stacks, and all members of both teams must be alive for the event to start.

• If Kha'Zix is victorious, he gains a fourth evolution point.
• If Rengar is victorious, his Bonetooth Necklace is replaced with the Head of Kha'Zix, which grants him the bonuses of a fully stacked Bonetooth Necklace.

This event can only occur once per game, even if both teams possess both champions. A video describing the event can be found here.
