Background & History
Teemo appeared aboard Lu Xingyuan's train as a small, furry Yordle wearing a green hat, telescope, and large backpack. His arrival coincided with the activation of Lu Xingyuan's Yordle Hextech, which had apparently been charging until it could summon a companion. Initially distraught and wanting to return home, Teemo gradually accepted life in Train World after Lu Xingyuan explained its rules and welcomed him aboard. 142 143
Although identified as a max-level Teemo with his original skill set, he initially lacked the physical strength and combat confidence to thrive in Train World. He began intensive training through the Electric Chair, gene enhancement potions, the Rock-Pressure Body-Tempering Chamber, and real combat. 143 151 233 265
Lu Xingyuan later equipped Teemo with the sniper rifle Dark Ember Judgment, allowing him to use his poison and blinding attacks at long range. The weapon was eventually upgraded into the Level 6 End Protocol · Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism, completing Teemo's shift from a vulnerable close-range fighter into a flexible combatant capable of sniping, siege warfare, and melee defense. 181 351
Appearance
Teemo is a very short, fluffy Yordle with a round build and a small belly. He first appeared curled into a ball “like a dumpling,” dressed in his recognizable green hat and carrying a telescope and oversized backpack. 142
- Furry body and small stature. 142
- Green hat and telescope hanging at his waist. 142
- Initially carries a large backpack. 142
- Wears a black cloak gifted by Lu Xingyuan, which Teemo considers exceptionally handsome. 248
- Later fights with the floating dodecahedral core of the Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism. 351
Personality
Teemo is deeply emotional, affectionate, and loyal to Lu Xingyuan, whom he consistently calls “Boss.” He is easily moved by kindness, food, tragic stories, and gifts; he has repeatedly cried while expressing gratitude toward Lu Xingyuan. 147 248
He initially lacks confidence and is frightened by powerful enemies, often comparing his small body unfavorably with Lu Xingyuan's strength. Nevertheless, he is determined to stop being a burden, voluntarily undergoes painful enhancement training, and insists on facing real combat even when injured. 151 224 233 353
Following his growth in Train World, Teemo becomes considerably more assertive. He taunts Rumble before defeating him in three seconds, enjoys his status as Second Brother, and occasionally displays a mischievous sense of humor. 372 382

Yordle Bond
Teemo is part of Lu Xingyuan's Yordle Hextech bond, which improves the group's dodge chance as more Yordles join the train. 142 370
- Two Yordles grant a 20% dodge chance. 142
- Three Yordles grant a 40% dodge chance. 370
- The bond activated during Sun Wuqi's curse technique, allowing Teemo to escape a binding black ring before destroying it with his blade. 356
Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism
Teemo's Level 6 weapon can perceive the battlefield and switch among three Judgment Protocols. 351
- Protocol One: Crow — A lightweight anti-materiel sniper rifle retaining the 1,800-yard Untraceable Judgment range. Consecutive weak-point hits increase subsequent damage by 15%, stacking until the target dies or leaves combat. 351
- Protocol Two: Citybreaker — A railgun that fires high-density energy clusters, creating gravitational collapse followed by an explosion. It is intended for destroying fortifications, vehicles, and dense enemy formations. 351
- Protocol Three: Sword and Shield — An energy shield absorbs and stores incoming energy attacks while a ship-cleaving blade converts the stored damage into greater offensive power. At full charge, the blade can release a dark-blue energy wave. 351

Overgrown Library
Teemo tests the newly transformed Thousand-Faced Divine Mechanism against the Thorn Vine Matriarch. He is wounded and deceived by hallucinogenic spores, but adapts after realizing his poison-based abilities are disadvantaged against plant monsters. He then assists Lu Xingyuan in severing the Matriarch's roots. 351 352 353
Second Brother and Rumble's defeat
When Rumble joins the train, Teemo fears being replaced and resents his rival's presence. Lu Xingyuan reassures him of his place as the second member of the family.

Later team combat
Teemo becomes a reliable frontline and long-range fighter during later conflicts, using the Divine Mechanism's blade against fusion zombies and its Collapsing Mushrooms against monster hordes. He also helps maintain the train's defenses and cares for the Thorny Vine. 388 389 436
