Honey Heist Baby Roshan
The second baby courier in this article is every bit as charming as the first one. The Honey Heist Baby Roshan has whimsical animations and a bright, cheerful design with lots of constantly moving elements. As befits one of the most expensive items in Dota 2, the supply of this courier skin is extremely low, usually only found in the inventories of the players who had completed The International 2019 Battle Pass.

Inscribed Crimson Emerald Conquest
A rather bold addition to the roster of most expensive Dota 2 items, this Underlord skin has it all: fiery glow, sharp edges, and weird alien growth. Every aspect of this item is taken to the extreme, which sadly includes the price

Jade Baby Roshan
The Baby Roshan Radiant is another eye-catching courier. With splashes of green flame following this cutie wherever it goes, you can be sure to draw everybody’s attention, for better or for worse. A pair of fiery orange eyes give the little beast a mystical, almost otherworldly charm. The classic Roshan look, combined with these stunning effects, makes it a long-term fan favorite.

Platinum Baby Roshan
Yes, another one! This little guy takes the classic Roshan courier and gives it a frosty makeover, some shimmering platinum armor, and glowing blue eyes. Carrying its trusty blue sack, it’s like a tiny mythical creature that’s both cute and fierce. We, for once, would be ashamed to kill this little guy! The only downside? Platinum Baby Roshan is a strong contender for the title of the most expensive Dota 2 item ever.

The Alpine Stalker's Set
The Alpine Stalker's Set for Ursa is a legacy bundle that looks like a joke but costs its weight in gold. Online collectibles are weird like that sometimes. Released during the early years of the game, it was soon vaulted, easily making it one of the most expensive Dota 2 skin sets as the available supply dried out. The quirky cowboy-inspired design is unlike any other, which, in this case, is both a blessing and a curse. Collectors often prize it for its historical significance and, well, bold fashion statement, which has yet to be replicated.

Release Date: 15 August 2012
Slot: Set
Price: $4,200
Aghanim’s Interdimensional Baby Roshan
Behold the Aghanim's Interdimensional Baby Roshan, the most expensive skin in Dota 2. It is more than just a courier—it’s a nod to the mysterious might of Aghanim himself. With its bright visual effects and quirky animations, this little guy feels like it’s been plucked straight from another dimension (hence the name). Originally released during Aghanim's Labyrinth event, it quickly became a rare gem that collectors just love to show off. A combination of limited availability and good visuals was enough to make this courier the most expensive item in Dota 2 for the time being, but there are likely even more exclusive items waiting for us in future releases.
