Cloud Drake

Creature of Runeterra

One of the four elemental aspects of Runeterra's great dragons: a fur-insulated drake that climbs higher than the rest, and a fieldable unit in Riot's Demacia Rising.

The cloud drake is one of the four elemental aspects that Runeterra's great elemental dragons manifest, alongside Infernal, Ocean and Mountain. Where those are bound to fire, water and stone, this one keeps to the air. Riot's own description of the animal, from its Legends of Runeterra card, is of a creature built for altitude: "With thick tufted fur to insulate against the cold, this drake can reach much higher altitudes than most other dragons. Lively yet elusive, the drakes are usually spotted high overhead, wings cutting through the clouds as they jump from gust to gale." Demacia Rising, the turn-based city-builder Riot ran during the For Demacia event, fields the drake as a combat unit. Its portrait and full combat sprite ship inside the game's own bundles, alongside a complete set of attack, death and ultimate sound effects. That is the whole reason it is catalogued here: outside that game and the one card, the cloud drake has no record of its own.
