Which champion's Q ability is called 'Spinning Axe'?

The story behind the answer

Which champion's Q ability is called “Spinning Axe”? Draven has the Q ability Spinning Axe.

Spinning Axe empowers Draven’s next basic attack to deal additional physical damage. After the axe hits, it ricochets toward a location determined partly by Draven’s movement, allowing him to catch it and maintain the effect. Catching an axe can let Draven keep multiple empowered axes in rotation, but missing one removes that advantage.

The ability is central to Draven’s identity as the Glorious Executioner and makes his lane play unusually rewarding but demanding. His passive, League of Draven, also rewards him for catching axes and building Adoration before securing champion takedowns.

The answer is often confused with other axe-using champions. Olaf’s Q is Undertow, which throws and retrieves an axe, while Garen’s Q is Decisive Strike and Tryndamere’s Q is Bloodlust. Draven’s axe-catching mechanic is therefore the key clue.
