In a recent teaser trailer released today, Smolder takes center stage as an eager hatchling dragon, fueled by the desire to write his name among the legendary dragons of Runeterra. Unveiling a rich tapestry of dragon history and royal lineage, Smolder exudes a unique swagger.

Adorning a distinctive blue and red color scheme reminiscent of Dragon Trainer Heimerdinger, Smolder currently showcases two flames adorning his head, a modest array of spikes, and claws that hint at his potential for growth. While he may not yet command the awe-inspiring presence of a seasoned dragon, it's evident that with time and dedication, Smolder will ascend to become a magnificent winged ruler of the skies.

Riot Games had subtly teased Smolder's arrival during the previous Champion Roadmap in October, describing him as "smoldering with power." From an inconspicuous egg, Smolder has now emerged, poised to conquer the world with a resounding roar, despite his diminutive stature.

A tantalizing connection surfaces with the upcoming Chinese New Year on February 10, heralding the Year of the Dragon. Given Riot's tradition of releasing Lunar Revel skins to celebrate the occasion, could Smolder's arrival coincide with this festive period? The release date remains shrouded in mystery, but ardent supporters are advised to stay vigilant, tuning into Riot's official channels for the latest updates on this adorable fire-breather.
