Summons

From Liquipedia Dota 2 Wiki
Arise!

Summons are units called forth by a hero to aid them in battle. Summoned by spells, each summoned unit possesses its own unique traits. Damage by summons is considered player-based damage and will disable effects on-hit as if it were a hero. Units that are summoned can be any unit type and do not always have the Summoned unit type.
