Dragonborn Paladin

LEGO Dungeons & Dragons ยท 71047 No. 4

Is this a knight or a dragon? He is both: the Dragonborn Paladin wears heavy armour and walks into battle with a holy oath on his lips, and he does it with a scaled, snouted head.

Data Matrix codes: Dragonborn Paladin

One of these codes is printed on the bottom of the box, next to the barcode.

LEGO prints a different code for each production batch and region, which is why one item has several. The scanner recognises all 3.

About this minifigure

Dragonborn are a humanoid race descended from dragons: scales, a draconic snout and a breath weapon that spits raw elemental energy. The paladin is a holy warrior bound by an oath, combining heavy armour with divine magic. Put the two together and you get an archetype that reads at a glance โ€” the honourable defender of the party.

Dragon and knight in one is a combination LEGO has been running on for decades, so the figure lands with players and with a child who simply likes castles and monsters. Nothing else in 71047 is this easy to like without knowing the game.

His other strength is versatility. This paladin fits knightly dioramas, Ninjago scenes and anything remotely dragon-shaped, so it is little wonder that people go looking for him by code rather than leaving it to luck.

Did you know: Dragonborn were promoted to the ranks of the core playable races in the fourth edition of D&D, published in 2008.
