General
- Gnar is voiced by Susana Moreno in LATAM and by Ana Esther Alborg in EUW, who is also voiced by
Katarina and
Know.
- Gnar,
Elise,
Jayce,
Kayle y
Nidalee are the only champions to be
remotely and

- Gnar's concept is based on monstrous transformations in fiction along with the Fish out of Water trope.
- Inspirations include The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, Gremlins and the Hulk by Marvel Comics.
- Paleontologically speaking, Gnar is not a missing link, that is, a transitional sample, but belongs to the Yordle population ancestral to the modern ones; Colloquially speaking, he is the great-great ... grandfather of all living Yordles.
- In the Brazilian localization, Gnar's title was changed to O Yordle Pré-historico ('the prehistoric Yordle') to avoid jokes / harassment associated with the classification of pairings derived from O Elo Perdido ('the Lost Link').
- Gnar is the second champion to have two champion portraits (
Mini Gnar and
Mega Gnar) being the first
Quinn y
Value .
- He is also the third to have more than one chat name, the first is

Elise,
Heimerdinger,
Jayce,
Karma,
Nidalee,

Development
- Mega Gnar is voiced by Lucien Dodge.
- During development, he was called the Yordle Hulk. [1]
- Gnar was leaked by Redditor 'WhyRenektonWhy' (which also leaked Ultra Rapid Fire,
Yasuo, and
Kalista, and whose account has since been terminated).
- Gnar can have more than one source:
- Proto-Germanic onomatopoeic verb * gnarrojanan "to grunt, grunt"; [2]
- The last four letters, spelled backwards, from Boomerank, from an extinct dialect of the Dharug language.
- Mega Gnar could be referencing the Gnaar from Serious Sam.
- Gnar's skull headdress could be referencing
Tabu the voodoo shaman, a canceled champion whose staff was crowned by the same skull.
- The placeholder model of
Mini Gnar during production was a small
Golden nautilus
at a distance, whose animations were drastically sped up. [3]
- His basic attacks used the
same particles as
Syndra.
Boomerang used the
boomerang of
Sivir Huntress.
Hyper was an active called "Hyperactivity / Fury". His movement speed buff was represented by the speed lines of
Unstoppable of
Master Yi, while the particles of
accumulation were modified from
Silver Shells of
Vayne.
I jump made him let out the excited cry that
Ziggs does when wearing
Concentrated load.
- By getting the maximum
Rage was displaying a 'Warning' message.
- These effects can be seen here.
- The placeholder model of
Mega Gnar during production was a
Warwick Hyena a little redder before redesign.

Warwick Hiena.
Smash was both a
stun as a basic attack chaining effect, while using the visual effects of
Tiamat.
Bestial Leap had a
lifting while using the impact visuals and audio from
Rocket jump
Tristana. It also made the roar that
Udyr does when activating
Bear position.
- Instead of
GNAR !, his maximum ability was an ability similar to
Devour that left a puddle of
Oozing Void at the location of
Regurgitate while making the noises that
Cho'Gath produces when using
Feast.
- These effects can be seen here.
Lore
- Gnar is about four human years old.
- He is not aware that he is transforming, but that may change when he grows up.
- He retains his personality as a Mega Gnar.
- The tribal paintings in 'Discovering the Link' depict Gnar and his family living in peace down to a one-eyed entity with two horns / tentacles (speculated to be an Ice Watcher or one of the Void species of
Vel'Koz) attacked them. Drag down the family of Gnar, causing their
Gen of Fury thus turning to Mega and quickly fighting the entity with unknown success.
- Apparently a defeated
Anivia locks Gnar for centuries in Pure Ice to preserve him and finally awakens him again to fight the Ice Watchers on the brink of their return. [4]
- Immediately after his escape, he is rampaging through the forest as Mega Gnar, with
Rengar hunting it to take it as a reward.
- Gnar learned to use a boomerang and designed his after his father's.
- The boomerang is hidden in Mega Gnar's fur when he transforms. [5]
- Gnar is the only Yordle in modern times that has a tail due to its age.
Phrases
