Bombus

Lore:

If you ever spot a bee in Zaun, there are only two possible places from where it might originate: the first, a rogue hive located somewhere in the sewers, developed over decades, maybe centuries, when a lonesome bee somehow made its way there, probably from a traveling merchant carrying honey. And the second, and the more likely type of bee to find, is from Hugo Bombus' apiary. Located in Factorywood, Bombus' bee farm is renowned for not only being the only honey maker in all of Zaun, but also for the type of bees it employs in the production of the honey. These are Daba Bees, originating from the southeastern portion of the continent of Shurima, just on the borders of Ixtal. How he got them? Nobody knows. But even more so, nobody cares, which is the most concrete thing anyone can say about Bombus and his hard working bees. Despite his hard work and quality products, most of it is exported to other locations in Runeterra, with the majority of Zaun remaining largely oblivious to the apiary's existence. Although one shouldn't blame the average Zaunite for their lack of knowledge of a particular bee farm, considering all the stress and enemies they have to deal with on a daily basis. But Bombus was satisfied with his position in life despite the obscurity, because the honey was fruitful and delicious, so he was rarely bothered. But if there was one person who was definitely bothered by constant company of stinging bees was Bombus' neighbor, Coppol. An impatient and disgruntled man over his inability to move out and start anew far away from Zaun, or "Runeterra's Trash Hole" as he likes to call it, the buzzing of the bees and hunch of impending stingers didn't quite help curb Coppol's crankiness. He and Bombus would have regular altercations which for the most part were innocuous, starting and ending only as arguments, never escalating to something drastic. Until one fateful day when a houseguest of Coppol almost died due to an allergic reaction after being stung, at that moment, Coppol was far from being tolerant, and decided to take matters into his own hands. So what did he do? Gassed the entire apiary of course, with no regard to anyone who was there at the moment. Bees and employees alike all succumb to the neurotoxin. But unexpectedly, this would be Coppol's undoing, as Bombus wasn't even there at that moment. But when he did come back, he was devastated to find out that everything was no more, not his employees; nor his bees; nor his honey. But the only glimmering light of retribution came in the form of a beehive separated from the rest of the apiary, located just behind Bombus' office, nurtured as a personal hobby of his without the necessity to produce honey. With nothing but revenge in his mind, Bombus took his only remaining beehive and visited a questionable scientist, the kind everyone hears of but advises to avoid. But Bombus had nothing to lose, so he told the scientist what he wants: "I want the bees to become monsters, and I want to become a monster among the bees". And with that, the procedure had begun and after several days, it was completed. Now a hulking walking incubator for monstrous bees, Bombus was ready to finish what his neighbor had started. But just he was about to step outside the scientist's residence, his name was called from behind him. As he turned back, he saw the scientist saying his farewell, and one more peculiar thing: "Send my regards to Coppol." Ever since that day, Coppol no longer had to worry about any bees buzzing his way, or anything else for that matter. But with the current problem solved, more problems make themselves realized. Bombus has to start anew. Where or how will he start? Only he can find out for himself. With a new body and new strength, he will have to discover where he wishes to propel his new life towards. If he so wishes to start a new apiary it will have to be away from Zaun, a city that's not too welcoming of those who seek a simple life. But even if he will do so, he can know for certain this time that no one will ever get in his way again. For he has the strength to enforce it, but more importantly… the bees that will sting those who walk to close to hive.

Appearance:

After his transformation, Bombus takes the appearance of a large humanoid that looks like a walking beehive, but the kind that houses murderous bees instead of cute-looking honey bees. I suppose he also wears a beekeeper attire to remind others that he's still a beekeeper at heart (so yeah, basically a giant walking beehive of killer bees wearing a beekeeper outfit). And the bees look monstrous (otherwise they wouldn't be monster bees).
