Their story, step by step
- Step 1
Unknown Origins
Fiddlesticks is a very old demon of fear whose origin is unknown. One Noxian tale says a farmboy was fed to crows and became the demon, and another says a mage freed it by accident.
- Step 2
A Creature of Instinct
For ages it was a myth and children's story, said to dwell in the Spirit Realm. It builds bodies out of whatever is nearby, so it looks different in different places.

The Voice Eater
In the Freljord it was called the Voice Eater and made itself from helmets, bucklers, wood and furs.
- Step 4
Awakening in Demacia
It woke and went to Demacia's hinterlands, drawn by rising paranoia. It built a scarecrow from scrap metal and burlap and fed on terror, massacring families in sealed houses. Its true self is a mass of crows in a cage.
