Roshan is Dota 2's powerful neutral boss. Killing it drops the Aegis of the Immortal — an item that revives the carrier once — making Roshan control a core strategic objective.
Roshan — definition
Roshan is Dota 2's most powerful neutral boss — a creep that lives in its own pit and grows stronger over the game. Killing it drops the Aegis of the Immortal, an item that revives its carrier once shortly after death, plus other bounties.
Because the Aegis can swing a teamfight or secure a push, "Roshan control" — timing the kill and contesting the pit — is one of the core strategic objectives in competitive Dota 2.
Don't confuse the Aegis of the Immortal (the in-game item from Roshan) with the Aegis of Champions — the physical trophy awarded to the winners of The International.
