Gavid
Gavid the Plant King is a cancelled champion. According to Riot Games at the time, Gavid didn’t fit into the artistic theme that League of Legends set out to achieve, leading to him being scrapped. His abilities were all plant-themed and it does seem like he served as some form of inspiration for the champion Zyra.
Omen
Omen was a quadruped champion, which we already don’t see all too much of in League of Legends in general. Riot Games didn’t really know what direction to take with Omen and was debating if he’d be a melee or ranged character, which eventually led to him being scrapped due to lack of (artistic) direction. Later on Rek’Sai would be released who, according to system designer ZenonTheStoic, took a lot of inspiration from Omen.
Priscilla
Another champion to get scrapped, but would later on inspire other champions, is Priscilla the Spider Queen. She used to be in the game files for years, but the champion never came to full fruition. Later one she was reworked as a result of a poll however and became Elise, while it’s also speculated she was the inspiration for Urgot down the line.
