Sheepstealer is no courtly dragon, no jewel of the pit, and no creature shaped by chains or ceremony. Brown as mud, smoke, and old earth, he haunts the high lonely places, descending without warning to seize sheep from the fields and vanish again into the wild. Generations of shepherds learned to scan the skies not for storms, but for the ragged shadow of his wings.
Untamed for years and wary of men, Sheepstealer is a dragon of hunger, impulse, and endurance. He does not seek glory, nor does he answer easily to command. Yet beneath his rough hide burns an ancient will: stubborn, suspicious, and impossible to break
Gameplay Details
Sheepstealer is a predatory fire damage dealer who excels at isolating and picking on a single target. By marking enemies as prey, he reduces their ability to recover and punishes teams that rely on it. Sheepstealer builds power over long engagements by converting enemy healing into increased damage dealing and self-recovery.
He thrives in fights where he can consistently pressure a single enemy and snowball his advantage, becoming increasingly dangerous as his prey weakens or receives support.

- Marking and repeatedly attacking prey maximizes his damage and scaling.
- Punish enemy sustain
- Sheepstealer is strongest against teams that rely on Recovery effects.
