Baby Dragon
Forest
Reworked in Season 11 — Supercell has confirmed Baby Dragon is getting new mechanics but hasn't published exact numbers yet. The stats and ability text below are what shipped before the rework and are still accurate until it lands.
Baby Dragon is an Epic, Forest-trait troop costing 4 Elixir. As a flying ranged attacker, it's untouchable by any ground-only troop, and its splash damage hits every enemy near its target — a combination of mobility and area damage that's hard for purely melee compositions to answer.

Also in the Base Game
Baby Dragon exists in the main Clash Royale deck-building game too, where it's a epic card costing 4 Elixir per deployment in a deck. Merge Tactics fields it differently — bought from the shop for 4 Elixir and merged for star upgrades, rather than cycled through a deck.
