Dhrishtadyumna took this opportunity and beheaded him. After the killing of Drona, Dhristadyumna was attacked by Arjuna, who was a devoted student of Drona but was defended by Draupadi and Krishna. On the 18th night of the war, Ashwathama attacked the Pandava camp during the night, and killed Dhristadyumna.
Drona favorite Student was Arjuna. But because of his dedication and love towards his mentor Arjuna won his heart. Drona tried many things like sending Arjuna to take water when he was teaching Ashwathama or never giving him food in darkness.
He was the commander of the Pandava army during the Kurukshetra War. Dhrishtadyumna killed Drona, the royal guru, when he was meditating which was against the rules of engagement.

Dronacharya's death
On the 14th night (as the kuravas were not ready to stop) of the Mahabharata war, Drona is instigated by Duryodhana's remarks of being a traitor as he was not able to protect Jaidrath. Sensing his end is near, he used the Brahmastra against the common Pandava soldiers.Ashwatthama is the son of Dronacharya and Kripi. After this incident, and seeing the plight of Drona, Kripacharya invites Drona to Hastinapur. There, he comes upon the attention of his co-disciple Bhishma. Thus, Dronacharya becomes the guru of both Pandavas and Kauravas in Hastinapur.
In particular, Draupadi, Yudhishthira, and Bhima feel very guilty for not killing Jayadratha when they did have the chance. Arjuna blames Jayadratha to be the cause for Abhimanyu's death. He vows to kill him the very next day before sunset, failing which Arjuna would kill himself by jumping in a pyre of fire.
Drona was partial especially to Arjuna and Ashwatthama. Drona dearly loved his son Ashwatthama and as a guru, he loved Arjuna more than anyone.
Draupadi (Sanskrit: ???????, lit. Daughter of Drupada) is the most important female character in the Hindu epic, Mahabharata. She was the daughter of King Drupada of Panchal, and wife of the Pandavas who fought their cousins, the Kauravas in the great Kurukshetra War.
Dro?ācharya spent his youth in poverty, but studied Dharma and military arts such as archery, in which he gained expertise, together with the then prince of Panchala, Drupada in the gurukul of Rishi Bharadwaja. Drupada and Dro?ācharya became close friends.
According to the Mahabharata, a fight breaks out at a festival among the Yadavas, who end up killing each other. Mistaking the sleeping Krishna for a deer, a hunter named Jara shoots an arrow that fatally injures him. Krishna forgives Jara and dies.
Ashwatthama first kicks and awakens Dhrishtadyumna, the commander of the Pandava army and the killer of his father. Ashwatthama strangles the half-awake Dhrishtadyumna by choking him to death as the prince begs to be allowed to die with a sword in his hand.
Shakuni had two sons named Uluka and Vrikaasur. The original texts of Mahabharata mention Shakuni as personification of Dvapara Yuga.
He is already married, says Karna, he has two sons and now grandsons, all because his father Adhiratha helped him settle into his married life.
