Able to force her enemies to attack their own ally
Where most dragons originate fire, the Winter Wyvern stores unfathomable cold. Soaring over the treeline, she breathes a blistering chill, causing painful Burning Colds. Gentle with her companions, she encases them in an Icy Cocoon, freezing them solid while healing them in curative magic. Auroth has no time for would-be dragon-slayers. Should the enemy be foolish to gather, her Winter's Curse compels her attackers to turn against one another. As frozen crystals form inside her gullet, she blasts the gathering with Icy Splinters that shatters upon impact of closely packed foes.

Bio[edit]

Some breathe fire. I breathe ice.
▶️  Auroth, the Winter Wyvern
Aliases:
Auroth, WW
Like many great poets, Auroth just wants time to write, but the Winter Wyvern's life is full of interruptions. The epics of the Eldwurms have a long and colorful history, but some fear that the remaining dragon scholars are not as prolific as they once were, with few lines added to the Eldwurm Eddas since the last age of greatness. Auroth laments: "We forget that there is more to life than triumph and dominion over enemies. We must also live our lives in the pursuit of creative expression." She embarks on research expeditions, collecting books for inspiration. But all this research can be terribly distracting, and she spends less time writing than she should. Although she knows she should be lurking in her lair, adding to the Eddas, she finds herself engaged in epic battles against powerful enemies. She loots castles, raids ancient libraries... and if she happens to heap glory on herself in the process, she tells herself that it's merely a side effect of her research. The fact is, while her skill and power on the battlefield are legendary, her scholarly travails have thus far hardly been the stuff of literary acclaim. But she is not content to stand as a protagonist of heroic lore. She wishes also to create it.

Trivia[edit]

  • Winter Wyvern was teased in day 2 of the Forseer's Contract update page. Her smoke silhouette is visible next to Phantom Assassin.
    • After being teased in the update that ported Oracle to Dota 2, she ended up being the next hero to be ported over from DotA.
  • Winter Wyvern made her first official Dota 2 appearance in the New Bloom trailer "The Coming of the Year Beast" which was showcased for the first time after the finals of the Dota 2 Asia Championship 2015 on the 9th of February 2015. The trailer video was later posted on the official Dota 2 blog as part 1 of the New Bloom event.
    • Her next official appearance was in the comic "The new neighbors", which was posted on the 10 February 2015 on the official Dota 2 blog. In the comic, she is depicted as an "artistic" dragon with interests in books who does not follow the traditional behavior of dragons razing cities to the ground.
  • Winter Wyvern's ally response towards Axe, ▶️ "In this world, nothing is certain but ice and axes" is a nod to a quote by Benjamin Franklin, which states: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."[1]
  • Winter Wyvern's select response ▶️ "Winter is coming. Winter Wyvern that is." is a reference to Game of Thrones, specifically the motto of the House of Stark: "Winter is coming."[2]
  • Her rivalry line towards Dragon Knight ▶️ "I knew Slyrak, Dragon Knight. You're no Slyrak." is a reference to Lloyd Bentsen's political quip "... I knew Jack Kennedy... Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy".[3]
  • When the Winter Wyvern's abilities were showcased in The International 2016, Winter's Curse was cast on a Naga Siren, which caused her teammates, Gyrocopter, Ancient Apparition, Earthshaker and Storm Spirit, to kill her. This is in reference to how Aui_2000, who played Naga Siren during Game 4 in the finals of the previous International against CDEC, was subsequently kicked out of the team.
