6. Meowkai
Meowkai is a fun adorable skin; however, it does fail to do anything remarkable. The costume is an abundance of cat faces but isn’t too eye-catching. The saplings transform into adorable cats, and their appeal is undeniable.
Meowkai feels like a skin that lacks, this may be because of the fact that Maokai is merely costumed rather than fully transformed, and it doesn’t add much to the skin. The high price makes this seem like a costume with many unique features, however, it doesn’t have many. Still, a fantastic costume for you cat lovers.

- New animations
- New sounds
Cons
- There are no cons unless you despise cuteness.

The right arm has fingers covered in golden claws, and the bark goes for a smooth surface and a lighter color that perfectly corresponds with the golden leaves.

- New sounds
Cons
- This skin lacks a con

Conclusion
Maokai has many skins, but most of them are seasonal options or his release skins. Despite only being able to get it during Harrowing, Haunted Maokai is amazing and deserves to be recommended. With many appealing changes, it matches its theme and is the best option for Maokai.
An expensive option with a complex look is Meowkai. It’s an appealing skin that some will appreciate for its combination of a cat and Maokai. This skins interpretation doesn’t mix well with Maokais’s personality. It has its issues and lacks features with a relatively high price, but still a cute skin.
There are skins available all year round, but they lack anything impressive. Totemic Maokai is a good choice for a re-model because of its low price. Charred Maokai gives a new color for a high price, but still a good skin.
Goalkeeper Maokai is for football fans, as it has charm for someone who likes the sport but if the sport isn’t to your liking, then this skin has really nothing to offer for you. Festive Maokai makes a lazy attempt at turning him into a Christmas tree, with a high price for a non-fulfilled skin.
Victorious Maokai is an elaborate model with matching saplings. The particles allow the skin to stand out. The skin is interesting but feels superficial.
