Deathliger, Lion of Chaos

Deathliger, Lion of Chaos is one of the first demon commands in the game along with Zagaan, Knight of Darkness. Just like Zagaan it is quasi-vanilla too so it's some sort of failed experiment for a powerful creature. But heck, they are just starting so you can't blame them....
==Story==
Just like most creatures in the Beginner's Block, there is no description on Deathliger in Duel Masters lore. However, in its flavor text, it fought alongside the lord of demons (Possibly Ballom), indicating that it may be a Darkness civilization general serving the Dark Lords.
===Powers===
Just like most powerful creatures in ancient period Duel Masters, there is no descriptions of Deathliger's power save for brute strength. However, it is capable of breathing a wave of toxic lightning from its mouth called "Galvanic Blaze" which can easily destroy enemies in a blow.
==Card explanation==
One of the first super rare "powerhouses" in the game and the creature with the second highest power in the first set of the game. Just like the other creatures with high power in the first few sets of the game, it had no effects other than breaking 2 shields instead of 1. It is commonly promoted by officals in ancient Duel Masters, especially western officals.
However, despite the promotion (Same for others such as Deathblade Beetle or Bolshack Dragon), it did not work in the competitive metagame as it would usually waste huge amounts of mana, have to wait a turn before attacking, and would usually be instantly be removed by some sort of fixed removal on the next turn.
In 's artwork, this creature is seen being ensnared by a flower trap, which is basically describing what will exactly happen if you send Deathliger out and expect mass pwning of the opponent. (Although Deathliger costs 7 so you need some heavyweights in order to do the job)
Today there is no point using it as cost 7 is a field of interest for any amount of powerful Darkness finishers.
Before the release of Super Rare 100% Pack of Dragon Saga, a picture of Deathliger was shown in the corocoro manazine, hinting that It will occupy 1 super rare slot (There only 1 card in a pack in that expansion and it's always a super rare or victory rare) which gave players a sense of terror for it will be reprinted as a junk rare slot. Eventually it was confirmed to appear and would act as one of the 11 junk rare slots. The only good thing is the junk rares do not have packaging rate manipulations attached to them and thus only around 0 to 5 out of the 11 will appear at a time.
==Anime==
In the anime it was trump in the first season. He later used it to evolve Ballom, Master of Death.
