The term "epic monster" refers to powerful neutral monsters in League of Legends that provide buffs and gold to the team that defeats them. These monsters are stronger than regular neutral monsters and often require multiple team members to defeat.
Epic Monsters in LoL
These epic monsters are very important and teams often contest them in teamfights because of it. Killing these monsters can lead to notable changes in the odds of the game, and below you can see the list of them.
Dragon Pit
Elemental Dragons: There are several types of dragons, each granting different buffs. They spawn in the dragon pit on the lower side of the river at 5:00. The types include Infernal Dragon, Mountain Dragon, Cloud Dragon, and Ocean Dragon. After 4 dragons for one team are slain, the dragon soul is gained, and the Elder Dragon spawns.
Elder Dragon: The second most powerful neutral monster that appears in the game replacing elemental dragons. It spawns only after one team has slain four elemental dragons, and he provides a very powerful buff to the team that kills it. The buff inflicts enemies after hitting them with a burn that deals true damage and executes enemies below 20% of their maximum health.
Baron Pit
Voidgrub with Voidmites: They spawn at 5:00, and killing these creatures grants gold, experience, and the "Touch of the Void" buff, enhancing damage to structures. If more than four stacks are collected, the "Hunger of the Void" effect summons allied Voidmites in structure combat. Their camp spawns twice per game, only if the first camp was slained before 9:45 and disappears permanently after 13:45, or 13:55 if in combat, before the Rift Herald arrives at 14:00. Only the first Voidgrub of each spawn is considered an epic monster takedown.
Rift Herald: A town-crushing monster spawns in the Baron pit at 14:00, before Baron Nashor appears at . Defeating the Rift Herald grants the team a relic that can be used to summon the Herald to fight alongside them and push down lanes.
Baron Nashor: The most powerful neutral monster in the game spawns at 20:00. Killing Baron Nashor grants the team a powerful buff that enhances attack damage, ability power, and minion strength.
