–Typhon to Ddraig, Volume 25, Life.DxD vs Life.GOD —Red Dragon— | ||
Typhon is the King of the Monsters of the Greek Faction. He is serving as King for Team Leisure of the Kings in the Azazel Cup.
Appearance
Typhon is described as a thirty-meter-tall blue-skinned giant with wings on his back, the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake.
Personality
According to Vidar, Typhon has a selfish personality as he wanted to become the leader of his team to which Vidar and Apollon accepted. He is interested in fighting powerful opponents such as Issei Hyoudou who is a possessor of one of the Two Heavenly Dragons. Typhon is a battle maniac as he wanted to fight Issei even though it was Vidar's fight as well as his desire to fight one-on-one against Ddraig despite being outmatched and him retiring would cause Team Leisure of Kings to lose.
History
In the past, Typhon was an enemy of the Greek Gods and waged war on them and Olympus.
Powers & Abilities
Weather Manipulation: Typhon has almost absolute control over the weather. According to Issei, Typhon's control over the weather surpasses Dulio's, despite him wielding the second strongest Longinus, Zenith Tempest, which has the potential to destroy the world.[1] He could use an extreme downpour of rain and wind to slow down Bova, unleashing strong winds, lightning, and similar phenomena. Against Ddraig, Typhon unleashed lightning bolts powerful enough to shake the gigantic Yggdrasil.[2]
Immense Strength: As one of the "Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World", Typhon is a monster superior to the other Greek Gods, with the exception of Hades.[3] His strength is such that unskilled Gods wouldn't dare cross him, being either equal to or stronger than Fenrir (with his original power).[1][4] A direct hit from him would retire Bova, Elmenhilde, and Roygun. A testament to his immense strength was when he held his own against Ddraig, one of the Heavenly Dragons.[2]
Immense Durability: Typhon possesses immense durability and endurance as he was able to withstand Bova, Elmenhilde after increasing her power by drinking Issei's and Ravel's blood, as well as Roygun's combined assault. He was able to endure Ddraig's dragon flame breath, which was enhanced by Boost and Penetrate.[2]
Fire Breath: Typhon demonstrated the ability to breathe flames, though it was stated to be inferior to Crom Cruach's.[1]
Master Tactician: Typhon has been shown to be a capable leader, due to having managed to lead his team to victory in the national rating game. His leadership has also earned the attention of Indra, a God with ultimate-class power.
Flight: Typhon has demonstrated the ability to stay afloat in mid-air.
