Baby Dragon
Small wings, fiery breath, and the power to burn both ground and sky.
The Baby Dragon is an Elixir-based air troop in Clash of Clans, capable of targeting both ground and air units. It is trained in the Barracks and serves as a smaller, more agile alternative to the full-grown Dragon. Unlike Heroes, the Baby Dragon does not have unique abilities or passive skills; it relies on its fiery breath to deal area damage to enemy buildings and troops. Players can unlock this unit by upgrading their Barracks to a sufficient level and investing Elixir into its training. Its dual-targeting capability makes it a versatile choice for mixed defense layouts, though it lacks the personal skill trees found on Heroes like the Grand Warden.
