Durin (Genshin Impact)

==Summary==
 is the Black Dragon prophecized by the ancient civilization that once lived on Dragonspine, who appeared 500 years prior to the modern day during the days of the Cataclysm. Implied to once have been a normal dragon, Durin was corrupted by the ancient alchemist known as Gold, becoming a disfigured skeletal dragon that had been cut off from reality.
During the time of the Cataclysm, Durin was sent to Mondstadt to "spread the knowledge of its homeland and celebrate with its people", when in reality, it brought toxic fumes, plagues and great suffering upon its arrival. Seeing the suffering caused by this Shadow Dragon, Barbatos descended and empowered the Dragon of the East, Dvalin, to assist in slaying Durin - who would be struck down and buried in the snow of Dragonspine, forever to be remembered as an evil dragon.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Durin
Origin: Genshin Impact
Gender: Unknown
Age: At least 500 years old
Classification: Shadow Dragon, The Black Dragon, Abyss Monster, Product of Khemia
Powers and Abilities:
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics
**Large Size (Type 3; Durin's skeleton is large enough for its corpse to have been comparable to a great portion of Dragonspine, which is a mountain larger than the regions once occupied by entire mountain ranges in Mondstadt)
*Flight
*Bodily Weaponry (Conventional; Venomous fangs, claws and skeletal spines)
*Poison Manipulation (Durin releases toxic fumes from its wings, which it can rain down as desired)
*Weather Manipulation & Danmaku (Durin can summon poison clouds to blot out the sky of Mondstadt, raining down toxins with enough ferocity to overpower Barbatos' thousand winds)
*Absorption (Energy; Festering Desire, which is created from Durin's remains, is capable of absorbing power from others to strengthen itself)
*Corruption (Type 1) & Madness Manipulation (Type 3; Durin's power and poison is capable of inflicting a corruptive madness capable of affecting beings as powerful as Dvalin, and even just coming into contact with miniscule remnants of Durin's power was enough to drive the original creator of Festering Desire to complete insanity)
*Disease Manipulation & Empathic Manipulation (Can release elemental energy strong enough to contend against Barbatos and Dvalin which can cause effects similar to if not worse than the effects of prolonged exposure to Smaragdus Jadeite which vary from illnesses at best to changes in personality at worstGenshin Impact; Mission A Teapot to Call Home; Part I)
*Power Bestowal & Resurrection (With only the small amount of Durin's power inside of Festering Desire, a dead Cryo Regisvine was revived and empowered to the point of posing a significant threat to Albedo and the Liyue Traveler)
Resistance to:
*Extreme Cold (Durin's power grants wielders of Festering Desire a resistance against the sheer cold of Dragonspine)
*Disease Manipulation & Empathic Manipulation (Vision and elemental energy users can resist the effects of Smaragdus Jadeite)
High Resistance to:
*Pain Manipulation (Durin felt no pain during the entirety of its battle with Barbatos and Dvalin due to its disconnect from reality)
Attack Potency: Island level+ (Durin is stated to be the equal of Barbatos, and was capable of fighting both Barbatos and an empowered Dvalin at the same time despite only believing that the entire battle was an innocent game of dance and song54.5 Gigatons)
Speed: Supersonic+ (Fought against Barbatos and Dvalin at the same timeGenshin Impact: Book: Breeze Amidst the ForestMach 3.14)
Lifting Strength: At least Class M via size
Striking Strength: Island level+
Durability: Island level+ (comparable to other gods in the Archon War)
Stamina: Superhuman, possibly Infinite (Durin was completely unaffected by its injuries and level of exertion during its prolonged battle against Barbatos and Dvalin. Even after it had been dealt a decisively fatal blow, it believed it was only playing games and dancing with Dvalin, unaffected by everything until the moment its body ceased functioning. Hundreds of years later, even in spite of all these injuries, having long lost its consciousness and its body being reduced to its skeletal remains, Durin's heart still beats and its life force still burns strong in Dragonspine in spite of the precautions taken by Barbatos to suppress it with the permafrost of the Skyfrost Nail)
Range: At least Hundreds of Meters via size, likely much higher; at least Tens of Kilometers with magic (Durin was capable of affecting all of Mondstadt at once with its poisonous clouds)
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: At least Average (In spite of being entirely disconnected from reality, Durin still fights normally, with the only caveat being that it sees "fighting" as "playing" or "dancing". Based on its dying thoughts, it is likely Durin would be smarter and wiser should its insanity be lifted, but as it is never displayed fighting without it, this is only speculation)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Toxic Wings: Durin releases poisonous fumes from its wings, leaving a trail of blighted earth wherever it goes.
*Toxic Clouds: Durin summons clouds that rain down heavily with poison. This toxic rain is powerful enough that even Barbatos' thousand winds cannot hold it back from poisoning the land.
*Abyssal Power: Durin's power, which is imbued in its poison, originates from the Abyss and is stated to "corrode human intellect", is highly-corruptive and can induce madness through mere contact with it. Mortals are driven insane in an instant, as is what occurred with the blacksmith that forged Festering Desire, and even those with a resistance to corruption are slowly driven insane through prolonged exposure, such as was the case with Dvalin.
