- Elder Dragon's Level 2 effect makes it immune to all negative effects including being targeted, killed, damaged,
Frostbitten, Stunned, Recalled, Blocked, Obliterated, and Captured.
- All Dragon Boons except Oceanic Will target the unit they are cast on, meaning they trigger effects like Fated and count toward 4Pantheon and 5Morgana's Level Up conditions.
- When played, Elder Dragon casts the Dragon Boons on itself in the following order: Mountainous Vigor, Chemtech Blight, Hextech Prowess, Infernal Might, Oceanic Will, Cloudbringer's Grace (which resolve in reverse order as per the Spell Stack's mechanics).
- This means that when played while 6 Iascylla, Figurehead of the Deep is in play, Elder Dragon will receive two each of the first four, one copy of Oceanic Will, and no Cloudbringer's Grace due to the Spell Stack being full.

At the behest of a power older than death itself, a skeletal form drags itself from the fetid waters of the marsh. Once, this creature had been a well-worshipped god. By the will of the Horned King, it will soon be restored to its former glory.

The Crimson Elder remembers a time before the dragons had human subjects. Though the younger generations of the Dragon Court are intrigued by human celebrations below, he has no interest in petty mortal affairs--and will never be convinced to adopt a human form.
As the Court's steward of culture and tradition, the Crimson Elder observed Lee Sin's journey with skepticism. Originally intending to chastise the prince for breach of decorum, he instead discovered that mortals have one tradition he might deign to embrace: fireworks.
The prestige of the Court is equal to none.
Many mortals offer prayers to the Court for good health and fortune in the new year.
Fireworks are but an imitation of a dragon's true might.
The Dragon Court will outlast any mortal kingdom.
The heavenly winds will lift them up.
The Court's future rulers will see new traditions forged.
The Dragon Court reigns immortal.
