Teemo in the wild: scientists name newly discovered species in honor of League champ

The devilish Teemo has ventured from the virtual universe of League of Legends into our natural world as a recently discovered new species of crab has been named after the little Yordle scout.

While the Teemo of the deep may not be planting invisible mushrooms, its resemblance to the league champion has charmed scientists so much that they named the little crab after the Bandle Scout. And much like how Teemo was one of the first Yordles to be added to League, the newly discovered little crab is the first of its entire genus, a classification system that encompasses species that share a recent common ancestor—basically a new family.
