Arcane - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
During a brief shot in the undercity, a small, furry creature in a hat, known as a Yordle, is seen. This character is heavily implied to be Teemo, a popular champion from the "League of Legends" game.
This is a fun cameo for fans of the game, confirming the presence of other iconic characters and races within the world of "Arcane" beyond the main cast. It's a nod to the wider Runeterra universe the show is set in.
In Jinx's hideout, among her trinkets and gadgets, a doll can be seen that bears a striking resemblance to the champion Fiddlesticks. Additionally, a book on the Piltover council member's desk has the symbol of the Howling Abyss, a location from the game.
These small details are direct references to other pieces of "League of Legends" lore, enriching the world for long-time fans and hinting at stories and characters that exist beyond the scope of the show's central narrative.
In Season 1, when Mel Medarda is examining Jayce's research, her back displays an intricate golden design. This pattern is reminiscent of the visual aesthetic of the celestial champion, Aurelion Sol, and the Targonian culture from the game's lore.
This detail hints at Mel's mysterious origins and connections to powerful forces beyond Piltover. It suggests she may be linked to the cosmic and magical aspects of the "League of Legends" universe, adding a layer of intrigue to her character that is explored more fully in the second season with the introduction of the Black Rose coven.
