Nunu

Nunu is a fictional character from the video game League of Legends, developed by Riot Games. He appears as part of the duo Nunu & Willump, a winter-themed pair in which Nunu is a young boy and Willump is a large, loyal yeti. The two characters are presented as companions who travel the icy regions of Runeterra, using their bond with ice and snow to shape the battlefield.

In gameplay terms, Nunu and Willump function as a coordinated champion pair whose abilities revolve around a growing snowball. The snowball is rolled across the map, dealing damage and applying crowd control effects as it increases in size and momentum. Willump serves as the frontline partner, providing durability and additional control, while Nunu helps accelerate the snowball’s path and enables follow-up effects. Their kit emphasizes engage, map objective pressure, and zone control, with a signature ultimate that releases a large area of icy energy for high-impact damage over time.

Lore and setting place Nunu in the northern, icy regions of the world of Runeterra, where he maintains a close bond with Willump. The duo is depicted as protectors of winter magic and as travelers who aid others in harsh environments, often guiding or defending those in need.

Nunu & Willump are recognized for their distinctive winter motif within League of Legends. They have remained popular within the game’s roster and have appeared in various skins and promotional materials, contributing to their status as two of the game’s enduring ice-themed characters.
