Dragons:

• Elemental Drakes: Introduced in Season 6, dragons were diversified into five elemental types: Infernal, Ocean, Mountain, Cloud, and Chemtech. Each type provides unique buffs to the team that slays it.
  • Infernal: Increases damage and attack speed.
  • Ocean: Enhances health and mana regeneration.
  • Mountain: Boosts armor and magic resist.
  • Cloud: Grants movement speed and ability haste.
  • Chemtech: Previously Hextech, it now gives adaptive damage and healing reduction.
• Elder Dragon: Spawns after a team secures four dragons of any type, granting the Dragon Soul, a powerful team-wide buff that varies by the type of dragon killed.
• Rise of the Elements: In Season 10, the map itself changes based on the type of dragon killed, affecting terrain, brush size, and strategic elements like pathways and visibility.

Rift Herald:

• Introduction: Added in 2015 to provide early game action, particularly in the top side of the map. It spawns in the Baron pit before Baron Nashor.
• Eye of the Herald: Upon killing Rift Herald, a team member can pick up the Eye of the Herald, which can be used to summon the Herald to charge enemy structures.
• Ridable Feature: For Season 14, players can now ride the Rift Herald, controlling its movement until it hits terrain or a structure.

Baron Nashor:

• Buff Changes: Over the years, the buffs from Baron have been adjusted. Originally, it provided the Hand of Baron, which increases damage, health regen, and grants a shield for minions.
• Variants: In Season 2024, Baron Nashor was given three forms - Hunting, Territorial, and All-Seeing - each with unique pit configurations affecting gameplay around it.
• Spawn Time: Typically spawns at 20 minutes, but in 2025, with the introduction of Atakhan, its spawn was pushed back to 25 minutes.

New Monsters and Changes:

• Voidgrubs: Introduced in Season 2024, these small monsters spawn in the Baron pit at 5 minutes, providing a buff called Hunger of the Void that deals additional damage to structures. Killing enough grants periodic Voidmite allies.
• Atakhan: In Season 1 of 2025, this new epic monster spawns at 20 minutes with two forms based on game activity. It provides buffs like increased effects from epic monsters or a one-time resurrection.

Jungle Monsters:

• Buffs: Blue and Red buffs have seen modifications; for instance, in Season 2024, after 20 minutes, these monsters transform into Voidborn versions, granting team-wide buffs upon defeat.
• Scuttle Crab: Also transforms into a tougher Voidborn Scuttler after 20 minutes, providing a significant vision advantage when killed.
