Rift Herald is an unique creature of Voidborn shaped in the form of a Scuttle Crab that it consumed. It currently resides somewhere on Runeterra.

Background[]

As a voidborn, it is made to adapt to its surroundings, consuming any life and adding its essence into its form. The Rift Herald at one point consumed a Scuttle Crab, taking some of the crabs physical features. It is unclear if there are more than one examples of a rift herald on Runeterra Map profileicon Runeterra Prime, as such it should be considered as an endling sub-species of voidborn.

Appearance[]

The Rift Herald takes on some of the Scuttle Crab's physical features such as the back shell, mandible face area, as well as an affinity to watery areas. Unlike a scuttle crab, it is bipedal, with sharp claws for arms and a long barbed tail. Its body emanates a purple glow common among voidborn.
