A champion summoned unit (often referred to as a 'pet') is a game character similar to a minion, monster, or champion, that is spawned into the game by a champion.
Targetable[]
Clone[]
A clone is a copy of a champion that is only considered a champion for targeting purposes, otherwise considered a 
pet. 
Takedowns also consider it as a pet (
Glorious Evolution exception) and its damage is still credited to the owner (and so will attract 
turret aggro as with any champion damage). Depending on the creation, a clone can copy almost almost all effects from the owner, such as item bonuses and current inflicted debuffs.
Interactions with other abilities, runes, and items are case by case.
The damage dealt by a clone's basic attacks is not considered to be ability damage and so will not trigger spell effects (e.g. 
Liandry's Torment, 
Luden's Companion). Some clones can 
heal themselves with 
life steal if they have any, and Spoils of War will be triggered by clones' attacks.

Minion[]
A 
Minion is a champion-summoned unit that some champions can create. Each summoning champion can only summon their unique minions. These units exist independently of their summoning champion, but usually, will only stay summoned for a limited amount of time or as long as the summoning champion is in the immediate vicinity. These units have stats including health, which is independent from that of the summoning champion. These units may have their attacks and stats increase based on the stats of the summoning champion, but they may also be static. All damage dealt by these units is credited to the summoning champion.
- Controllable

Alt + RMBor via the button used to summon them (such as)

Structures / Terrain[]
The individual units that make up the terrain sometimes have visible health bars (similar to lane minions) in Spectator Mode or briefly upon initially being summoned; and can sometimes be clicked upon to view their target frame, offering arbitrary statistical information. Aside from the aforementioned bug, terrain usually cannot be selected as a target directly for exceptional cases.
Although 
Bard's 
Magical Journey is functional on static terrain, it cannot be created on player-created terrain.
List of abilities affected by terrain:
- Bard's Cosmic Binding
- Camille's Hookshot
- Gnar's GNAR!
- Graves' End of the Line
- Illaoi's Prophet of an Elder God
- Kayn's Shadow Step / Rhaast's Shadow Step / Shadow Assassin's Shadow Step
- Nautilus' Dredge Line
- Ornn's Searing Charge
- Poppy's Heroic Charge
- Sion's Unstoppable Onslaught
- Talon's Assassin's Path
- Taliyah's Rock Surfing
- Vayne's Condemn
- Zoe's Sleepy Trouble Bubble
- Terrain
- Anivia's Crystallize
- Azir's Emperor's Divide
- Will reject enemy attempts to breach the formation, but allows allies to pass.
- Jarvan IV's Cataclysm
- Ornn's Volcanic Rupture
- Taliyah's Weaver's Wall
- Trundle's Pillar of Ice
- Yorick's Dark Procession
- Single-targetable.
- Structures
- Structures can be directly targeted, but otherwise have the same (plus some additional) interactions. Some additional effects include Stormbringer and Soaring Slam.
- Turret is one type of structure and has some effects that will trigger versus turrets but not other structures, such as Explosive Charge.
- There are currently no examples of champion summoned inhibitors or other non-turret structures, but they are a distinct classification.
Targetable Traps[]
Traps are triggered when valid targets come into their trigger range. In all existing cases, their damage is classified as ability damage credited to their champion. Traps are initially stealthed after a brief "arm time", and will be revealed by 
True Sight, 
Control Wards, and 
Oracle Lens.
Miscellaneous / Wards[]
The following units have no known classification but can be safely tagged as allied/enemy "units", which makes them valid targets for 
Safeguard and 
Teleport but invalid targets for most other effects (i.e. things that affect minions, champions or any of the above categories). One possible tag for many of the following units is "ward", since wards follow this behavior.
- Gangplank's Powder Keg
- Jarvan IV's Demacian Standard (untargetable)
- Kalista's Sentinel (moves and grants sight only in front of it)
- Rek'Sai's Tunnel (does not grant sight; targetable only by allies)
- Thresh's Soul Lantern (affects unit collision)
- Control Ward
- Farsight Ward and Zombie Ward (untargetable by allies)
- Stealth Ward and Totem Ward
- Ghost Poro
Non-targetable[]
"Non-targetable" refers to units that are never meant to be targetable:
- Azir's Sand Soldiers
- Ekko's Afterimage
- Milio's Fuemigos
- Lissandra's Thralls
- Lulu's Pix
- Orianna's Ball
- Kayn's Shadow
- Syndra's Dark Sphere

- Wukong's Clones
- Untargetable during the dash.
- Yasuo's Dashing Projection
- Yone's Body
- Zed's Shadows and Dashing Shadows
- Zoe's First Portal Projection
Non-targetable Traps[]
Traps are triggered when valid targets come into their trigger range. In all cases, their damage is classified as ability damage and is credited to their champion. If hidden from sight, they will be detected by Oracle Lens' hostile unit detection.
