This page is about the hero Davion, the Dragon Knight. For other uses, see Davion (disambiguation).
Transforms into a formidable ranged dragon.
As Sir Davion slew Slyrak in arranged combat, the Eldwurm's blood mingled with his own, sealing their essences together. He was no longer a dragon-slayer, but a Dragon Knight. The infusion of Dragon Blood caused his wounds to heal with inhuman speed, and granted him great new powers. While nowhere as grand as Slyrak, he found himself with the ability to Breathe Fire and launch Fireballs, immolating packs of foes at once. But when Davion took on his Elder Dragon Form, he became the formidable Eldwurm itself, and upon his awestruck enemies he rained projectiles of acid, fire, and ice.

Bio[edit]

The Dragon Slyrak sleeps within this armor, and the knight within the Dragon waits. Beware you do not wake them both.
▶️  Davion, the Dragon Knight
Aliases:
DK, Davion
After years on the trail of a legendary Eldwurm, the Knight Davion found himself facing a disappointing foe: the dreaded Slyrak had grown ancient and frail, its wings tattered, its few remaining scales stricken with scale-rot, its fangs ground to nubs, and its fire-gouts no more threatening than a pack of wet matchsticks.

Seeing no honor to be gained in dragon-murder, Knight Davion prepared to turn away and leave his old foe to die in peace. But a voice crept into his thoughts, and Slyrak gave a whispered plea that Davion might honor him with death in combat. Davion agreed, and found himself rewarded beyond expectation for his act of mercy: As he sank his blade in Slyrak's breast, the dragon pierced Davion's throat with a talon. As their blood mingled, Slyrak sent his power out along the Blood Route, sending all its strength and centuries of wisdom to the knight. The dragon's death sealed their bond and Dragon Knight was born. The ancient power slumbers in the Dragon Knight Davion, waking when he calls it. Or perhaps it is the Dragon that calls the Knight…

Trivia[edit]

  • In The Lab, a VR game by Valve, there are some Bendie soldiers who wield Dragon Knight's sword in the minigame Longshot, along with other Dota 2 weapons like Axe's war axe, Huskar's spear and Stout Shield.
  • One of Davion's voice line during his Elder Dragon Form ▶️ “Fly-by-night” may be a reference to the unnamed dragon in the Old English poem "Beowulf", who waited for night to attack a settlement, hence he was known as an "old night-ravager". Said dragon was an inspiration for another dragon named "Smaug" from "The Hobbit" series by J.R.R. Tolkien. Like Beowulf's dragon, Smaug attacked Laketown at night.
