Ivern was released for League of Legends in 2016 as a support jungler who rescues jungle camps instead of clearing them for gold. His friendship with creatures like the Ancient Krug became central to his character, with voice lines that treat monsters as companions. The Spanish gracias version circulated among Spanish-speaking players and on soundboards, where short champion voice lines are clipped for streams and edits. It remains popular because it captures Ivern's unusual kindness in a game built around fighting.
