Dagon is a recurring magic damage item in Dota, and its Dota 2 sound became familiar to players through countless burst-kill moments in Valve's multiplayer game.

Creators keep using it in short edits, reaction posts and gameplay memes whenever they want a target to seem erased in a single press. Its staying power comes from how readable and compact the sound is, even for viewers who do not play Dota 2.
