Rift Hunger
Damaging enemy champions with abilities applies a Rift Mark. At three marks, the mark detonates, dealing bonus damage, briefly slowing the target, and healing Thyraxis for a portion of the damage dealt.

THE STORY
The Rift Maw
Thyraxis was not born in the ordinary sense. It tore its way into existence through a collapsing rift where reality had weakened and old darkness pooled beneath the world. What emerged was not a beast nor a soldier, but a hunger given shape. Its body is layered with jagged armor-like growths and void-fed muscle, as if the battlefield itself forged a guardian for catastrophe. Where Thyraxis walks, the ground distorts, air bends inward, and weaker minds feel the pressure of being watched by something ancient and patient. It does not speak in language. It speaks in pull, impact, and the silence before collapse. To allies, Thyraxis is a wall that advances. To enemies, it is the moment the battlefield stops feeling safe.
