Tahm Kench
The River King
Biography
Known by many names throughout history, the demon Tahm Kench travels the waterways of Runeterra, feeding his insatiable appetite with the misery of others. Though he may appear singularly charming and proud, he swaggers through the physical realm like a vagabond in search of unsuspecting prey. His lashing tongue can stun even a heavily armored warrior from a dozen paces, and to fall into his rumbling belly is to tumble into an abyss from which there is little hope of return.

Once a catfish, Tahm Kench dreamed of becoming a dragon. Upon Jhin's release from his waterfall prison, a magical pearl was unearthed at its base, catching both Tahm's and Kog'Maw's eyes.
