– Battle Krug
A krug is a stone creature animated by magic. Therefore, they could be classified as elementals. They would not be classified as Golems because they were not produced by the hand of humans. Interestingly, their appearance combines stone with the fauna from their environment.
There are a variety of krugs throughout Valoran. It is likely their difference in shape and design are the result of their environment.

History
Not much is known about the species. It is possible these creatures can live for a long time based on the Ancient Krug from League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra.
Personality
Krugs seem to gravitate to water. In addition, they build their nests on the water. [2] As well, their sound is described as a tiny chitter.
It appears they do not have consideration of the affect on the environment around them and how it may affect others. When Willump observed them atop the Stone Village known as Naljaäg, he perceived the krugs to be "more than at home living above a village, such as this one."
Also, this magical species seem to stick together. There are two instances where they've have grouped together. A number of krugs formed a dam over Naljaäg, plus the Ancient Krug monster camp unite as a pair.
It's likely they don't move often but when they do, they can traverse relatively fast. Their general state was described as 'still' [2] and the Ancient Krugs have been described a relatively quick [4]. Some Freljordian ones were spotted by Nunu and Willump atop a waterfall. Their dam blocked off the water flow to the village below. As Nunu and Willump spotted the Battle Krug, their movement was still. [2]
Appearance
Nunu describes these creatures as "stony crabs". [2] Indeed, they look like stone-like crabs. Their exterior is hard rock, lined with glowing blue or green light emanating beneath the cracks of the rock and their eyes. They have two hands and two legs, pincers and vary considerably in size and shape.
Subspecies
Ancient Krug
The Ancient Krug refers to the League of Legends neutral monster. The Legends of Runeterra flavor text states they move fast for a rock. Furthermore, killing your opponent's Ancient Krug card provided a Gift of Heavy Hands card. This is a direct reference to a removed buff (with the same name) from League of Legends called Gift of Heavy Hands after smiting the monster camp. [4]
It moves rather quickly, for a rock.
Legends of Runeterra
Battle Krug
The battle krug is from Freljord. They have green glowing eyes and accents instead of the traditional blue. [1]
