Here is everything you need to know about Poros in League of Legends.

Poros are small, round, four-legged creatures, often seen on Howling Abyss in League of Legends. These adorable creatures run around the map, hoping players will drop them poro-snax and can even be spotted perched on the walls and pillars that line the bridge. They have been part of Runeterra lore for a long time now, released in 2012 with the debut of Howling Abyss. Let’s look at where poros came from, how you can interact with them and more.
