Yordles are mystical spirits who appear as small, mammalian bipeds averaging 55-75cm (1'9"-2'6") in height. They primarily reside in Bandle City, a mystical realm, though some venture into various locations across Runeterra.

Yordles have diverse physical characteristics:

• Fur ranging from light to bushy, in various colors
• Four-digit hands and varying foot structures
• Large eyes with circular irises and vertical pupils
• Enhanced hearing through fox-like ears
• Infrared vision capabilities

As spirit realm natives, Yordles:

• Don't age like material beings
• Don't require breathing
• Are vulnerable to Runic Iron
• Possess "Glamour" ability to appear as short humans
• Need significant social interaction for mental health

Notable Yordle characteristics:

• Generally peaceful and jovial
• Highly adaptable to various cultures
• Expert at blending into human societies
• Emerge from random wards of magic rather than traditional reproduction
• Can access secret pathways through Runeterra

Each Yordle typically embodies specific cultural traits based on their chosen residence. Known Yordles include Heimerdinger (scientist), Teemo (scout), Tristana (defender), and Veigar (dark sorcerer).

Most Yordles use magical glamour to blend into human society, though some technologically-minded Yordles like Heimerdinger prefer mechanical devices for this purpose. Their true forms are typically only visible to particularly perceptive individuals.
