## Appearance

Aži Dahāka was a giant Dragon with three heads and six giant wings. He had very dark scales that were a distinct shade of purple.

## Personality

It is stated that Aži Dahāka was a cruel and wicked Dragon. It is also implied that he may have enjoyed pain, as he kept on standing with wicked laughter while receiving damage from the Vali Team.

Aži Dahāka talked in a cheerful and mischievous manner and enjoyed insulting others in a very sharp manner. During conversations, each head of his had a different line but was of the same opinion. His manner of speech was also said to be childish.

During his fight with Vali, Aži Dahāka displayed an honorable side when he did not insult Vali for his desire to protect his family and even admired and apologized to him for it, as he believed that is what makes him strong. He had shown to completely disrespect and disdain Rizevim Livan Lucifer and the Old Satan Faction and their ideology and ambition of world domination, calling them immature, selfish brats with grand words who are lost in their delusions. Just like Apophis, he refers to Rizevim as a good for nothing loser unfit for the name of Lucifer compared to Vali.

Due to his command of magic, he could create around 100 clones who could also use magic to attack including forbidden techniques.
