In League of Legends, Teemo is one of the champions gamers love to hate. The main objective of LoL, as the game is fondly known by its massive gamer base, is to destroy the enemy team’s nexus (the heart of their home base).
However, plenty of team fights occur before that happens. In these fights, Teemo is among the more challenging champions to face. His abilities poison the opposing champion, nulls their damage for a few moments, and he can even go invisible.
But that is not the worst of it. The ability that makes Teemo one of the most fearsome League of Legends champions is his ultimate, Noxious Trap. This ability allows him to place invisible poisonous mushrooms all over the map that explode whenever an enemy steps on them, dealing a lot of damage.
Imagine chasing an enemy champion with low health for an easy kill, only to step on a few Noxious Traps and you are the one who dies instead. This is why gamers do not enjoy facing Teemo. And since I started playing the game in 2011, this dislike has never waned.
Even his skins are a source of controversy because of how cute they make him look, despite the flareups he causes in each match. But, love Teemo or not, he remains one of the most recognizable champions in the game. That is why it is worth taking a look at his skins.
The Bottom Line
The number of skins a champion has usually indicates their popularity. Teemo has 13 skins, which is among the highest in the game. Among his skins, Omega Squad Teemo is a favorite. Based on an alternative universe within the game, the skin has unique effects that make him stand out. However, the skin is his most expensive.
If you want a more affordable Teemo skin, Cottontail Teemo is an excellent alternative. He is cuter than ever, which should get on the nerves of your opponents, and he looks considerably different from his default skin. After reading this guide, though, you will get a better sense of which Teemo skins to go for and which ones just are not for you. I have sorted them in terms of the date released.
Default Teemo Skin
It is essential to start with the default skin to know the differences that new skins bring. First of all, Teemo is one of the tiniest champions in the game. In the universe, he belongs to a race called Yordles, which includes other champions like Tristana, Heimerdinger, Amumu, and more.
In Teemo’s default skin, he is dressed like a cub scout: hat, goggles, binoculars, a blowgun, and a backpack full of maps. Colt ‘Ezreal’ Ham, a Lead Game Designer for League of Legends, found inspiration from his own Scoutmaster friend’s appearance.
Happy Elf Teemo
- Price: 520 RP (When available)
- Release Date: 17th December 2009
Teemo Overview
- Teemo is a marksman who relies on the magic damage his abilities provide. His abilities include:
- Passive (Guerrilla Warfare): He becomes invisible when standing still for a few seconds. He is also invisible when he enters a bush.
- Q (Blinding Dart): He shoots a dart at an enemy, which blinds them for a few seconds; their attacks don’t deal damage.
- W (Move Quick): Teemo increases his movement speed for a few seconds.
- E (Toxic Shot): Teemo’s attacks poison their target for 4 seconds.
- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
Since this was among the first two Teemo skins on sale, it does not significantly differ from the default skin. Here, Teemo wears a green-and-yellow Christmas hat and a green elf costume. In addition, his rucksack contains red-and-white-striped gift wraps.
Other than that, the skin is essentially the same as his default.
How to Get It
Since this is a Legacy Skin, it is not currently available. However, LoL sometimes opens the Legacy Vault and makes these skins available for a short time. This is not a fixed schedule, though, so you might be waiting months or even years.
Alternatively, you can unlock it through the game’s Loot feature, though this is random.
Chromas
This skin does not have any Chromas.
Recon Teemo
- Price: 520 RP (When available)
- Release Date: 17th December 2009
Teemo Overview
- Teemo is a marksman who relies on the magic damage his abilities provide. His abilities include:
- Passive (Guerrilla Warfare): He becomes invisible when standing still for a few seconds. He is also invisible when he enters a bush.
- Q (Blinding Dart): He shoots a dart at an enemy, which blinds them for a few seconds; their attacks don’t deal damage.
- W (Move Quick): Teemo increases his movement speed for a few seconds.
- E (Toxic Shot): Teemo’s attacks poison their target for 4 seconds.
- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
Recon Teemo has even fewer changes from the default skin than Happy Elf Teemo. It is a skin where Teemo is camouflaged; his helmet has green camouflage, his face has stripes and markings to help hide him, and that is about it.
How to Get It
Like Happy Elf Teemo, this is another Legacy Skin. You will have to either unlock it through Loot or wait for the Legacy Vault to reopen.
Chromas
There are no Chromas on Recon Teemo.
Badger Teemo
- Price: 520 RP (When available)
- Release Date: 13th January 2010
Teemo Overview
- Teemo is a marksman who relies on the magic damage his abilities provide. His abilities include:
- Passive (Guerrilla Warfare): He becomes invisible when standing still for a few seconds. He is also invisible when he enters a bush.
- Q (Blinding Dart): He shoots a dart at an enemy, which blinds them for a few seconds; their attacks don’t deal damage.
- W (Move Quick): Teemo increases his movement speed for a few seconds.
- E (Toxic Shot): Teemo’s attacks poison their target for 4 seconds.
- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
Badger Teemo makes the Yordle look like, you guessed it, a badger. But, like the other Legacy Skins before it, it does not have many changes in appearance and virtually none when it comes to effects.
Here, Teemo’s costume has changed to a muted brown, while his goggles now have purple frames. His face is also badger-like, with brown stripes and brown paint covering his eyes, while the rest of his face is white.
How to Get It
This is another skin you will count yourself lucky to get since it is currently unavailable in the store.
Chromas
No Chromas with this skin.
Astronaut Teemo
- Price: 1350 RP
- Release Date: 27th October 2010
Teemo Overview
- Teemo is a marksman who relies on the magic damage his abilities provide. His abilities include:
- Passive (Guerrilla Warfare): He becomes invisible when standing still for a few seconds. He is also invisible when he enters a bush.
- Q (Blinding Dart): He shoots a dart at an enemy, which blinds them for a few seconds; their attacks don’t deal damage.
- W (Move Quick): Teemo increases his movement speed for a few seconds.
- E (Toxic Shot): Teemo’s attacks poison their target for 4 seconds.
- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
We do not see much of Teemo himself in this skin. Instead, he is almost entirely covered in the astronaut suit, from the helmet with pointy ears to gloves, boots, and the layered suit itself. Only his face is uncovered since his visor is open. Teemo also wields a futuristic ray gun, and the mushrooms he uses for his ultimate ability are now rotating satellites.
When Teemo is moving, there are low-gravity animations that make him look like he is on the moon or on another planet with lower gravity than Earth’s. His sounds have also changed; it is like you are hearing his voice through a transmission.
How to Get It
You can buy the skin through Riot Points, though that requires real-world money. For example, 1350 Riot Points comes to just under USD 10.
Alternatively, you can unlock the skin through game events that give you Loot. However, the chances of getting this particular skin are slim, so I do not advise counting on it if you really want the skin and can afford it.
Chromas
Astronaut Teemo has a Chroma skin that adds color to his costume and his ultimate ability.
Cottontail Teemo
- Price: 975 RP
- Release Date: 18th April 2011
Teemo Overview
- Teemo is a marksman who relies on the magic damage his abilities provide. His abilities include:
- Passive (Guerrilla Warfare): He becomes invisible when standing still for a few seconds. He is also invisible when he enters a bush.
- Q (Blinding Dart): He shoots a dart at an enemy, which blinds them for a few seconds; their attacks don’t deal damage.
- W (Move Quick): Teemo increases his movement speed for a few seconds.
- E (Toxic Shot): Teemo’s attacks poison their target for 4 seconds.
- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
This is probably the most adorable Teemo skin. Teemo is dressed up in a fluffy bunny suit reminiscent of the Easter Bunny. His blowgun resembles a flute, his telescope is a carrot, and his backpack is now a basket filled with colored eggs. He also has cute pink spots on his cheeks.
Teemo also hops around instead of running. He bounces around a nest filled with colored eggs when returning to home base as he plays the flute.
When using his Q ability, he shoots an egg. Instead of running fast, he does a quick roll on the ground with his W ability. As for his E ability, he shoots carrots at his target. And for his ultimate, he uses rotating multicolored eggs instead of the default mushrooms.
Despite all these visual changes, there are no changes to the sound effects.
How to Get It
The skin is available for 975 Riot Points, a fair price for all the visual changes you get. So that should be around $7.
Chromas
Cottontail Teemo has 5 Chromas in different colors: purple, turquoise, pink, blue, and white with black spots. To get them, you have to already own the Cottontail Teemo skin. Each Chroma skin goes for 290 RP (around $2).
Super Teemo
- Price: 975 RP
- Release Date: 9th October 2011
Teemo Overview

- E (Toxic Shot): Teemo’s attacks poison their target for 4 seconds.
- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
This skin is unique because it is the only one that lets us see Teemo’s entire head. Instead of his usual headgear, he wears a mask to hide his identity. He also wears yellow gloves, a blue top with T inscribed on it, blue pants, a red belt, and red boots. He also has a red cape with his T signet on it in typical superhero style.
When using his W, you can hear a superhero-like sound. Instead of walking around, Super Teemo flies the whole way. And as for his ultimate ability, he hurls mushrooms with his T signet.
How to Get It
Super Teemo costs 975 RP, which is roughly $7. You can find it in Loot, though that is always a gamble.
Chromas
Super Teemo lacks any Chroma skins.

His blowgun resembles a bamboo shoot, along with his rucksack that also holds his pyramid-shaped Noxious Traps. When recalling, Teemo strums his bamboo and nods along. That’s about it for Panda Teemo.
How to Get It
Panda Teemo is available in the game’s store for 975 RP, which will set you back around $7.
Chromas
This skin does not have any Chroma options.
Omega Squad Teemo
- Price: 1820 RP
- Release Date: 8th April 2015
Teemo Overview
- Teemo is a marksman who relies on the magic damage his abilities provide. His abilities include:
- Passive (Guerrilla Warfare): He becomes invisible when standing still for a few seconds. He is also invisible when he enters a bush.

- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
After a few years without any new Teemo skin, the developers made up for it by releasing his ultimate skin. In Omega Squad Teemo, almost everything about his appearance changes. He is in green combat attire. This includes a hood, night-vision goggles, a cape, a gas mask, a backpack holding a tactical knife, a watch, and a rifle.
When the game starts, and Teemo spawns, he rolls and looks around carefully, aiming his rifle wherever he looks. He then pulls out his knife, ready for any attacks. Omega Squad Teemo shoots green bullets at his enemies with his basic attack. When using his Q ability, he hurls a knife at them. As for his ultimate ability, he plants mines that blink red.
When recalling, we see the shadow of a helicopter coming closer, then a rope drops, and Teemo jumps on it. The helicopter’s shadow flies away as he arrives at the home base. With all these new visual effects, there are also new sounds that accompany them. Teemo even has new dialogue for all his interactions.
Where to Find It
Omega Squad Teemo is among the most expensive skins for any champion. And at 1820 RP, it costs slightly more than $13.
Chromas
The skin has three Chromas, which change the color of his clothes, kit, and weapons. You can buy them for 290 RP or unlock them through in-game events.
Little Devil Teemo
- Price: 1350 RP (When available)
- Release Date: 19th October 2016
Teemo Overview
- Teemo is a marksman who relies on the magic damage his abilities provide. His abilities include:
- Passive (Guerrilla Warfare): He becomes invisible when standing still for a few seconds. He is also invisible when he enters a bush.
- Q (Blinding Dart): He shoots a dart at an enemy, which blinds them for a few seconds; their attacks don’t deal damage.
- W (Move Quick): Teemo increases his movement speed for a few seconds.
- E (Toxic Shot): Teemo’s attacks poison their target for 4 seconds.
- R (Noxious Trap): Teemo throws an invisible mushroom that, when stepped on, deals damage over time and slows the enemy.
Appearance and Effects
This is among the most tongue-in-cheek Teemo skins and my personal favorite. It turns Teemo into the devil League of Legends gamers suspect he is. He has curved black devil horns, red fur, a sharp tail, bat-like wings on his back, and a yellow crown floating above his head. He also wields a trident.
The technical artists, Jeremy ”JesterCapp’ Putnam and Moonyoung ‘ANDMoonY’ Oh, made two skins in one to show Teemo’s different emotions. The default is his cute smile.
However, when he recalls, his mouth opens to reveal fanged teeth and a long, forked tongue. He laughs maniacally—with his voice deepening until it sounds demonic—and he vanishes into a portal in the ground.
When he appears at the home base, though, he is back to the gently smiling Teemo we know.
When he dies, a vortex emerges and sucks him into it, despite his struggles; the only thing that remains is his crown.
Little Devil Teemo’s Q attack hurls flaming prongs from his trident. At the same time, his Ultimate ability replaces mushrooms with sinister-looking jack-o-lanterns.
How to Get It
Since this is a Legacy Skin, getting it is not easy. Just do not hold your breath; you might be waiting a while to get it.
Chroma
This skin has no Chromas.

When recalling back to home base, Beemo leaps into the air as flowers surrounded by bees appear below him. He then gets the bees to buzz a mini-hymn.
When Beemo goes invisible, bees appear around him and then vanish quickly. When using his Q ability, he launches a bee at his enemy. Beemo uses a beehive that explodes into a splash of honey when hit by the enemy for his Noxious Trap.
How to Get It
Beemo is available for 1350 RP, which is almost $10.
Chromas

When recalling, he plays the flute, and wind swirls around him. Then the leaf on top of his hat grows big, and he jumps onto it.

Teemo Skins Guide: Conclusion
As one of the most famous champions in the game, Teemo has a range of skins that will give you a distinct look. They range from simple skins with minor changes to ones with significant overhauls. Unfortunately, you won’t easily find all of them, and not everyone has money to unlock them. However, by taking part in the game’s periodic events, you should be able to unlock a few of them through Loot.
Teemo is an easy and fun champion to play, so even newer players will not feel like they have wasted money by unlocking his skins.
