==Summary==
Lavos is the main antagonist of Chrono Trigger and its sequel, Chrono Cross. Less of a person with understandable goals and emotions and more of a force of nature, Lavos is a cosmic insectoid parasite of gargantuan proportions that crashlanded into the blue planet during the Prehistoric Ages, several dozen million years into the past, before burrowing deep into its core and entering a dormant state, in which he would feed upon the planet's life-energy and grow in strength, until the time came for him to destroy it, in the year of 1999 A.D, creating a fertile ground for his own offspring to be bred and eventually take off into space in order to repeat the same process in an endless cycle.
Although seemingly inevitable, the world's death by Lavos' hands eventually drew the attention of a group of young time travelers, led by Crono, who vowed to find a way to defeat Lavos and avert the cataclysm that reduced the planet to a barren wasteland in the far future, thus kicking off the events of the main game.

|-|Lavos=
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Magic, Biological Manipulation (Drastically accelerated human evolution through the Frozen FlameChrono Cross, in the process unlocking humanity's hidden potential and granting it the inherent ability to use magic), Body Control (Can detach his mandibles from his shell to attack foes, and creates smaller lifeforms that act as extensions of himself when emulating beings that use multiple body parts to fightChrono Trigger), Absorption (Constantly eats away at the energy of the planet as he rests within its core, and can consume other entities so that they become a part of him, either directly or through conduits such as the Mammon Machine. Fused Schala into himself, enabling his evolution into the Dream Devourer. Drained Magus' magical power, leaving him in a greatly weakened state afterwards), Space-Time Manipulation (Lavos' presence alone creates a rift in time and space, causing several past and future eras to flash by, which he can alter at will to readapt his moveset, and the emergence of the Black Omen, imbued with his power, threw the balance of the spacetime continuum off its axes and caused the Epoch's spacetime gyroscope to go haywire. Can stop targets in time and reduce their speed by half with Freeze and Invading Light respectively, and Schala's Pendant, powered by a fraction of his energy, had the ability to rewind time and return Kid to the earliest possible point in which she was safe), Portal Creation and BFR (Can open, and send enemies through, gates that lead to other points in the timeline, having thrown Gaspar into the End of Time, which lies infinitely far into the future. Sent Schala to the Darkness Beyond Time, which is the temporal void beyond the multiverse, and hurled all of Chronopolis 10,000 years into the past. Being the source of all his power, Lavos should have the same capabilities as Lynx, who sent Serge to the 2-dimensional space of the Temporal Vortex), Age Manipulation (In the timeline of Radical Dreamers, the Frozen Flame's power was able to age Schala back into a baby, before sending her to the futureRadical Dreamers), Power Mimicry (Used the abilities of enemies previously defeated by Crono's party, and is stated to have armed himself with the powers of every single living thing in history, including beings predating his arrival on the planet and machines that didn't yet exist at the time he was fought), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1. Can manipulate dreams, which contain, define and give birth to reality as a whole while existing fully independently of it in the Sea of Dreams beyond time, being able to offensively target them as part of his ultimate magical attack. His power is also stated to act as a channel through which dreams are materialized into reality, giving physical form to beings such as Masa and Mune), Existence Erasure (His energy is behind all of the capabilities of FATE, who was responsible for eliminating the condensed space-time of the Dead Sea and returning it to the Darkness Beyond Time, and the Frozen Flame itself caused the majority of the Acacia Dragons to be swallowed into an erased timeline, turning them into "salt for the dead sea."), Danmaku, Gravity Manipulation (Can bend gravitational fields as to create massive dimensional distortions, and should likewise have access to Magus' Black Hole technique), Mind Manipulation and Morality Manipulation (Exposure to Lavos' energy brainwashed Queen Zeal, implied to have once been a benevolent ruler, into a power-hungry tyrant set on using him to destroy and govern the world, with the change happening "almost overnight," and Lavos himself could likewise infect Schala with his own hatred and sorrow, causing a part of her mind to embrace the desire to end of all existence and gradually consuming her awareness), Telekinesis (Lavos' power was used to lift the Kingdom of Zeal into the air, and he later copied Azala's psychokinetic abilities), Teleportation, Sleep Manipulation (Scaling off of Lynx / FATE, who placed Kid in a coma by putting her very soul to sleep, which was only undone after he was defeated), Matter Manipulation (Can generate a field of energy that disintegrates objects and people all the way down to atoms in preparation for their consumption), Large Size (Type 3 in his outer shell. Type 1 in his second form. Type 0 for his Core's central pod), Energy Manipulation (Robo hypothesizes that the energy that Lavos emits is so immense that it strains local spacetime, causing temporal anomalies and creating rifts in its fabric), Immortality (Type 1 and 2; Has thrived within the core of the planet since the prehistoric age, 65,000,000 years into the past, and Queen Zeal states she will exist for eternity alongside Lavos. Unaffected by the loss of both of his arms, and can keep on fighting even when reduced to the very core of his body), Elemental Manipulation (Fire, Lightning, Ice, Water, Light and Darkness), Forcefield Creation, Cosmic Awareness and Precognition (Capable of looking through any point in time he wishes, past or future, as well as taking advantage of this non-linear view of it to prepare for future events, having seen his defeat at Crono's hands in advance and set up a scenario that would lead to his own return in response, and being aware of the Counter-Time Experiment conducted by Chronopolis over 12,000 years before it took place), Causality Manipulation (A small portion of Lavos' power imbued in the Frozen Flame is said to have the ability to rewrite history when properly channeled, with scientists in the Time Research Facility led by Belthasar further stating that they could attain complete control over the timeline by experimenting with the Flame. His influence is implied to cause the time axis itself to go out of order), Poison Manipulation, Acausality (Limited Type 3. Can bring his pods back to life by opening a time gate and summoning alternate versions of them, which act as perfect replacements of the originals), Healing (Contact with the Frozen Flame healed Serge's body both from his wounds and from the poison of the panther demon. His left-hand pod is responsible for healing both his core and center pod), Memory Manipulation (Can inflict the "Lock" status effect, which causes a target to forget all of their special techniques), Explosion Manipulation, Durability Negation (Halves the health of all foes with Evil Star, ignoring both physical and magical defenses. All of Queen Zeal's powers are derived and channeled from Lavos' own, and with her being also one of the lifeforms whose powers were assimilated by him, he should be able to use Halation, a technique that reduces the HP of all foes to 1), Statistics Amplification (Increases his own attack power with Evil Emanation), Blood Manipulation, Summoning (Can copy and summon bosses in a lavos-esque form, like zombor. Due to this it should have zombor's abilities to some degree), Power Nullification (Disables a foe's immunities to status effects with Curse, and prevents all usage of magic, techniques and items with Omnilock, forcing targets to fight using only regular attacks), Death Manipulation, Life Manipulation, Statistics Reduction and Sealing (Using the power of the Frozen Flame, FATE was able to fragment the Dragon God into the six elemental dragons, before sealing them away), Resistance to Time Manipulation, Statistics Reduction, Sleep Manipulation, Poison Manipulation and Mind Manipulation (Cannot be affected by weapons and techs that inflict these status ailments)
|-|Dream Devourer=
All previous powers and abilities on much greater scales, such as greatly enhanced Conceptual Manipulation (Gained the ability to not just manipulate dreams, but also devour them, thus its moniker. Paralyzes an opponent in a similar vein to Time Stop with Dreambind) and Absorption (Naturally drains all elemental attacks during its second phase, automatically converting them into health), as well as Immortality (Type 5), Nonexistent Physiology (Nature Type 1, Aspect Types 1, 2 and 3. The Dream Devourer resides in the Darkness Beyond Time, having arrived there after the timeline of the Day of Lavos was erased from existence by the actions of Crono's party, and fully retaining its agency and capability to act even in such a state), Void Manipulation (Capable of manipulating the Darkness Beyond Time, consuming dreams, and by extension reality itself, through it), Beyond-Dimensional Existence (Type 1), Acausality (Types 1 and 4), Weather Manipulation and Magnetism Manipulation (After first unifying with Lavos, Schala was able to cause a magnetic storm in the El Nido Archipelago from within the Darkness Beyond Time, causing a malfunction in all of Chronopolis' systems, including the FATE supercomputer)
|-|Time Devourer=
All previous powers and abilities on a much greater scale, as well as Avatar Creation, Illusion Creation and Immortality (Type 3 and 9. Can project a "quasi-existent" image of the Dragon God to act and fight for him within the physical world, while his true form exists in the Darkness Beyond Time), Power Modification (Can alter the properties of an opponent's attacks into a certain color with Turn elements), Soul Manipulation (With HellSoul, will forcefully remove the soul from the target's body), Purification (Type 3), Regeneration (High-Godly. The Time Devourer was about to be reborn from the Darkness Beyond TimeChrono Trigger Ultimania by the events of Chrono Cross), Resistance to BFR (Is completely unaffected by being sent to hell) and Power Nullification (Can't be afflicted by the Anti- spells, which negate attacks of certain elements as well as SealAll which negates all attacks)
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Universe level+ (Immensely above the Frozen Flame, which is simply a splinter of an immature Lavos' shell, having broken away from the whole during his landfall in the Prehistoric Ages, before he started to grow in strength over a period of millions upon millions of years by continuously absorbing the energy of the planet. The Flame, in turn, is responsible for providing power to FATE, and by extension, to Lynx, the latter of whom is able to use Forever Zero, an attack that reduces an entire alternate reality to the nothingness of the Darkness Beyond Time, and the former having eliminated the Dead Sea, which is stated to be a space-time of infinite size, being an entire rejected timeline that was brought back from nonexistence and then returned to it by FATE's interference), higher in other forms (Lavos' body is stated to be an even greater source of energy than his outer shell, and his core is more powerful still, with Robo's scanners being brought to a breaking point when trying to measure its strength) | Universe level+ (Evolved far beyond his previous forms after merging with Schala, to the point of effortlessly defeating both Magus and the main cast with a single bast, shrugging off all of their attempts at defeating him) | Universe level+ (Significantly above the Dream Devourer in power, having reached the final stages of its evolution), will eventually become Low Complex Multiverse level (In the distant future, when the bond between Schala and Lavos becomes complete, the Time Devourer will awaken to its final evolution, allowing it to consume all spacetime continua, of which there are infinite, and erase all of existence, which would include even Zurvan, the sea of dreams that is the origin of everything and hold both all of the timelines and the beginning and end of time itself, with the latter consisting of multiple temporal dimensions, thus making Zurvan 6-D due to it being superior to the space-time which is 5-D in nature)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ Attack, Reaction and Combat Speed (Can attack with, and react against natural lightning summoned from spells, and fought against Crono's party, who can accomplish similar feats) | At least Massively Hypersonic+ | At least Massively Hypersonic+
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Universe level+, higher in other forms | Universe level+ | Universe level+, will eventually become Low Complex Multiverse level
Durability: Universe level+, higher in other forms (All three of Lavos' forms were able to engage in battle against Crono's entire party for extended amounts of time, enduring large amounts of punishment before finally succumbing to the damage) | Universe level+ (Completely unaffected by attacks from a future version of Magus, which by that point had already assisted in Lavos' initial defeat, and similarly shrugged off the combined power of Crono's party, with Schala going as far as stating that no brute force can end the Dream Devourer and its hold on her) | Universe level+, will eventually become Low Complex Multiverse level
Stamina: Superhuman, possibly Inhexaustible. Drained the lifeforce of the entire planet over a period of over 65 million years, and was considered by Queen Zeal to be an unlimited source of power that could maintain her reign for all of eternity. Capable of fighting uninterrupted even after losing limbs and other vital parts, being either unfazed by pain or incapable of feeling it altogether. | Inapplicable. Being part of a timeline that has long since been erased and discarded into the Darkness Beyond Time, Lavos does not physically exist anymore, and would persist even after consuming all of time and space.
Range: Universal+ offensively. Up to Low Complex Multiversal with other abilities (Can create dimensional vortexes leading into the Darkness Beyond Time, the nothingness beyond all dimensions of the multiverse, including Zurvan) | Same as before, although notably enhanced (Capable of consuming dreams and generally influencing the physical world from within the depths of the Darkness Beyond Time) | Same as before, although it will eventually become Low Complex Multiversal
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Unknown, likely at least Genius. Despite being seemingly animalistic at a glance, and the lack of information regarding how exactly its thought-processes operate compared to those of a human, Lavos has shown in multiple occasions to be a vastly intelligent creature, having single-handedly engineered human evolution from deep within the planet's crust and harvested all of the best possible traits of all lifeforms on Earth as part of his goal of evolving into the ultimate organism, being ultimately responsible for all advancements across all eras. Ontop of that, he also possesses a non-linear view of the flow of time that bestows him with deep awareness of the past, present and future, as well as other realities and possibilities than his own, which he frequently abuses for his own benefit, emulating the abilities of previously defeated foes during his initial bout against Crono's group, and, after learning of his inevitable defeat at their hands, going as far as rearranging history through the Time Crash in an attempt to escape destruction, as well as preemptively sending Schala into the Darkness Beyond Time in order to ensure his own evolution into the Time Devourer. | Same as before, though as a result of having merged with Schala, Lavos also inherited her deep feelings of sadness, longing and despair, overwriting his previous directive of perpetuating his own species and ultimately causing him to adopt her desire to end all of existence.
