The ▶️ **Aegis of the Immortal** is a Kill Reward item dropped by  Roshan on his first death and onwards.

## Additional Information

	+ Roshan respawns 8 – 11 minutes after being killed.
	+ The Aegis wielder dies and reincarnates, consuming the Aegis.
	+ 5 minutes pass since the Aegis was picked up by a hero.
		- In Turbo Mode, the duration is shortened to 4 minutes.
		- This means it is impossible for multiple Aegis to exist in a match.

## Trivia

* Aegis was previously an ordinary recipe item that contained three charges. After it was removed, it was then obtainable as a droppable item from Roshan.
* In Greek mythology, an aegis that was described as "ageless and immortal" was presented to Zeus.
* When selecting Roshan, this item can be seen in his inventory.
