Angelus Custos Titanus

Alpha call

**Angelus Custos Titanus** is a gargantuan Alpha Class dragon that appeared during The Battle of the Guardian in the final chapter of Éternel: Wings of Fire. It is the Alpha Dragon form of Maya Prasanna.

## Official Description

Dubbed the Queen of All Dragons, Angelus Custos Titanus, more well known as "The Guardian," strives to protect all dragon life and defend her brethren until her very last breath. Until 2019, during The Battle of the Guardian, it was only thought to be a myth, but her existence was proven when High Queen Maya Prasanna of The Embrace transformed into her Alpha Dragon mode after being stabbed in the abdomen and consequently killed by Kim Minjun, the leader of Magister Mortalis. Able to destroy fleets with one breath and fight other alphas to the death, this dragon should never be engaged. Regardless of whether or not she is on your side, your only chance is to run, hide, and pray she does not find you. Her name in Latin means "Guardian Angel Titan."

## Physical Appearance

Angelus Custos Titanus is the largest recorded dragon species to ever exist. With intricately sculpted white scales covering her body, along with golden filigrees on her limbs, head, tail, and wings, this dragon is truly a sight to behold. Her four feathered wings spread to a massive 620 feet, the length of her body slightly larger. Around the bases of her wings are glowing mana rings that rotate slowly. Her claws are extremely jagged, able to leave deep, ridged gashes in opponents. Her face is small, but still formidable. Shining, ice-white eyes sit in her narrow head, a doorway to the Queen within.

## Abilities

### Firepower

The fire of Angelus Custos Titanus is one of the most powerful to ever exist, rivaling that of Fatalis or Xeno'jiiva/Saji'jiiva. Composed of a mix of Acetylene and Magnesium, the Guardian's fire burns up to 5,000 °F, able to decimate entire fleets in seconds. The fire itself has a white color with small traces of blue and gold, and when being breathed, sparks of white and blue from the magnesium are visible. The flame comes out as a billowing shape, much like the Green Death.

Min Yoongi, who was witness to the Guardian's first appearance, noted that before breathing fire, there was a sound in the back of her throat that sounded like metal clanging. This was simply the sound of her fire gathering in her "fire holes," but it is unique to Angelus Custos Titanus, Angelus Custos, and the dragon hybrids of Amesstall Island.

Although Angelus Custos Titanus possessed firebreathing abilities, during The Battle of the Guardian, it seemed she favored physical attacks more than anything. However, this did not mean that her fire was weak, as it completely decimated Magister Mortalis' fleet of almost 30,000 men and 500 ships. Her fire had a reach of over 600 feet.

### Strength and Combat

For the largest dragon to exist, Angelus Custos Titanus possesses incredible physical strength, able to crush the largest warships under her feet, topple over forests with a beat of her wings, and break the neck of another Alpha dragon with just a movement of her own while the Phantom's throat was clamped between her teeth.

As shown as in The Battle of the Guardian, Angelus Custos Titanus was able to grab Tenebris Regem Titanus and throw him across the sky, push him into the cliffside with a single swing of her tail, pull his entire body back by just biting his tail, and rake her claws through his underside, despite being heavily armored.

### Stamina and Endurance

Angelus Custos Titanus is shown to have an incredibly high endurance as well as high stamina. She was able to survive the bites, stunning fireballs, and throws of Tenebris Regem Titanus, the second largest dragon to exist. Despite being bitten, blasted with fire on her face, and thrown down into the sand, she survived the battle and ended up killing the Phantom, an extremely formidable foe that even a Bewilderbeast would struggle to take down.

### Speed and Agility

Despite her size, Angelus Custos Titanus is very agile, able to dodge attacks quickly and make sharp turns. Min Yoongi described her to be able to "slice through the air like a bullet," which is an accurate description, considering Angelus Custos Titanus flies at a maximum speed of 202 mph. Her long thin tail is used for balance.

### Intelligence

Since Angelus Custos Titanus is not so much a real feral dragon species, and instead a dragon form of a Pure Dragonborn, it can be argued that she is more human than dragon in terms of intelligence and emotion.

The Guardian was able to understand that she had transformed at first, and although she was simply focused on killing Kim Minjun at that moment, she still stayed far away from her friends as to not hurt them in the crossfire. She knew to open her wings to ease the fall when she crashed into the sand. She also used multiple tactics to create openings to attack Minjun, such as throwing him against the cliffside, rolling out of the way to make him crash, and moving out of the way when he dove toward her so she could grab his leg. She even reared up on her back legs and spread her wings to make herself look bigger, effectively scaring Tenebris Regem Titanus.

After killing Tenebris Regem Titanus, Angelus Custos Titanus showed signs of remembering who her friends were, as instead of turning her fire to them, she turned to the Magister Mortalis fleet and burned them all, leaving her friends and dragons alone. Although Min Yoongi doubted that she remembered who they were, she did indeed, as if she didn't, they would have burned immediately.

### Jaw Strength

Angelus Custos Titanus has an incredible bite force, enough to bite through the thick carapaces of Tenebris Regem Titanus' body. Even with his thick scales and strong muscles, The Guardian was able to bite into the Phantom's neck and jerk it back, effectively cracking the bones in his neck and killing him.

### Dragon Control

Although not shown in the current series, Angelus Custos Titanus, like all Alpha Class dragons and Pure Dragonborn, is able to control and order other dragons, whether by allyship or by force. Considering that Angelus Custos Titanus is a good-natured being, she would most likely use her control in a symbiotic way rather than a forceful way, much like Vhaghar, and unlike Raelyx.

## Personality and Behavior

Angelus Custos Titanus does not seem to exhibit any specific personality traits, since she is simply the Alpha Dragon form of Maya Prasanna. Alpha Dragon forms are only activated in the presence of another Alpha, rather Pure Dragonborn, so her behavior was extremely aggressive, only towards Tenebris Regem Titanus and Magister Mortalis. She was completely intent and focused on taking down the other Alpha, so her actions were feral and ravaging, though she seemed to calm when turning to her friends and looking into Yoongi's eyes.

## Training

Unlike other Alpha Class dragons, such as the Bewilderbeast or Foreverwing, Angelus Custos Titanus cannot be tamed or trained. With only one purpose - to kill the other Alpha or threat - there is no diverging this dragon from its goal for menial things such as dragonriding or personal affairs.
