Vastaya: Furry
Ascended: Also Furry but Gods

[kikikillian]

You forgot one type of Vastaya: shape shifters (also seen on the tree of Vastaya image, but next to it, as they fall in neither categories). They are the closest to the spirit realm and can, as their name implies, take on any form and characteristic. "Neeko her own tribe now!"

I'm so glad I found your channel.
The lore has always been my favourite part of every game, and having people explaining league lore is nice.

[garlicbread]

this is one of the smallest lore channels that does everything correctly. great reading voice and annunciation, quick to the point, and all your data is 100% factual. Awesome work you just gained a subscriber :)

Neeko: "You are vastaya! Neeko is Uvi'Kat. We're like cousins..? Distant cousins!"

[alphamavrickgaming]

Something to also note is that some anthropomorphic races such as Minotaurs and Chireans are not Vastaya

Deeply tied to magic and then there's Sett

[AdaletPeşimde]

Vastayas in concept: weird, mystical, animal like creatures
Vastaya champions: fitness models with animal ears

[umcaraqualquer]

They're also nearly extinct in Ionia now, as the Noxians killed like half of them, and The Order of Shadows killed the other half

hopeee your channel blows up! keep on creating this kind of vids, lore shorts! lovelots brother!

[AStrangeTrap]

Weird you don't see more in noxus then, considering their whole thing is being all war magicy.
They got a lot of Minotaur though

[kujojotarostandoceanman]

Hope you release longer in-depth video cause listening to your voice and the way you word them are very enjoying

[Doublejho]

i also like that the vastaya are essentially mutants of a sort, given that their proximity to sources of magic or the magic in their land is enough to actively morph them into more exaggerated forms

[valoisochoa]

Love ya stuff! Can’t wait to see the bilgewater faction

[altoid]

Pretty much every fantasy race in runeterra is vastya except for Yordles and Minotaurs suprisingly

[ahmedaziz]

Is Targon spiritual magic? I thought it was celestial magic which is > to spirit realm

[premiumheadpats]

This is a very good general summary of the Vastaya.

[wilfchapman-gandy]

I'm working on an RPG hack for runeterra and Vastaya stumps me, how do you make stats for a race whose entire thing is that they're incredibly varied.

[kiszkjmt]

With vastaya introduction, Runetera became the average anime fantasy world.

[siriosnight]

Very good video, helps out a lot in learning the lore of runeterra.
I am scared of starting to learn it yet tho, the lore/history of league is still in the early stages and is gonna change and be retconned many times
