The rocket launcher was created based on grenade launcher designs and came about after the Xyvoran Conflict as a powerful weapon to defend against air attacks. Early versions used a special fire called Wintherin and were strengthened with dragon-like scales, making them extremely destructive.
But when Wintherins were reduced in quantity, newer models changed to regular propulsion methods. The Slayer’s launcher is the last one to use this ancient dragon-made technology, and its fiery blasts give strength to the battle-hardened dragons of the Sentinels.
