Dagnajan is a cavalry archer hero featured in the A Fallen Crown scenario in the Yodit campaign, as well as the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II HD: The African Kingdoms. Dagnajan is based on an Ethiopian ruler of the Aksum Kingdom of the same name during the middle of the ninth century. His in-game appearance is unique but used to be very similar to an Elephant Archer. In the Definitive Edition, his appearance is unique with a very tall howdah. As a hero, he cannot be converted and can regenerate health.
Like other cavalry archers, Dagnajan is affected by all technologies and upgrades that affect cavalry archers, as well as any other bonuses that affect cavalry or archer units. Dagnajan has more hit points than any other unit.
