Neeko

Neeko, the Curious Chameleon, is one of Ixtal’s champions: a wielder of potent magic and a guardian who empowers and shields allies whose legend is woven into the wider world of Runeterra.

Neeko carries the mark of their homeland in everything they do, and their tale is one thread in the larger story of the world.

Ties to Ixtal. An isolated jungle nation that masters elemental magic and hides from the rest of Runeterra. Neeko is counted among the champions connected to Ixtal — explore the wider region on its Ixtal lore page.

Role in Runeterra. In the fiction, Neeko is a wielder of potent magic and a guardian who empowers and shields allies, usually seen in the mid and support role in play. Their in-game kit echoes this identity, but the lore frames them first as a figure of the world rather than a set of numbers.

Powers and presence. On the battlefields of Runeterra, Neeko commands arcane power, bending magic to their will in ways ordinary warriors never could, and lifts up those who fight beside them, shielding, healing or empowering allies at the decisive moment. It is this identity — far more than any statistic — that defines how Neeko is remembered across the world, and how allies and enemies alike come to fear or follow them.

Others of Ixtal. Neeko shares the story of Ixtal with champions such as Malphite, Milio, Nidalee, Qiyana. Reading their tales side by side reveals how a single region shapes very different heroes and villains.
