  • This unit was removed from the game in V6.9.

Dragons are among the most powerful neutral monsters in Summoner's Rift. Slaying a dragon grants the team one of the Dragon Slayer Dragon Slayer buffs. The levels of dragons range from 6 to 18.

Background

The scent of chaos fuels the flames in the heart of the Dragon. Drawn to this war-torn land, the mightiest of beasts has settled deep within the Summoner's Rift, awaiting the next great war. To those who wake this slumbering ancient, beware: for his sharp teeth and suffocating breath have been tempered by the bravest of champions, and yet it is he that still thrives in the depths of the Rift.
