| ~ Tartarus |
Tartarus is a major antagonist in Dragalia Lost who was formerly a servant to Alberius and is a member of the Agito, seeking to destroy the world for “stealing” his master from him. He is the arch nemesis of Cleo who wishes to protect the world in Alberius’s memory instead.
He is voiced by Luc Roderique who latter voiced Thor in English and Ryota Takeuchi in Japanese.
Biography[]
Tartarus was once a lonely dragon who lived alone in the abyss by himself. This was until one day, a man by the name Alberius arrived, seeking help to defeat the wicked Morsayati and thus formed a pact with him. From then on, Tartarus would become one of his most loyal companions and assisted him throughout the whole Second War of the Binding.
After Alberius sacrificed himself to save the world, Tartarus found himself without purpose; with his master gone, the world seemed just like the abyss: cold and unfeeling. Wracked with grief, he goes berserk and declares the whole world to be unworthy of living, casting off his own horns as they are part of the world too. The Greatwyrms managed to subdue him in a battle and seal away his draconic power so Tartarus, with half of his body destroyed in the battle, retreats into the abyss for the next 300 years, allowing his hatred for the world and grief for Alberius to stew.
Sometime before the events of the main story, Nedrick finds Tartarus in the abyss and gifts him an Agito mask which would allow him to transform into his original dragon form. He also repairs Tartarus with golden prostethics, causing him to respect Nedrick more than the other Agito.
Appearance[]
In his humanoid form, Tartarus has dark skin and wears a black knight armor and cape with a several markings and his arm is outfitted with golden prosthetic limb while he's holding his laser blade (which is akin to that of a lightsaber). He also has a mask that covers a portion of his face, around his neck appears his dragonic horns and has red eyes.
In his beast form, Tartraus resembles a humongous manticore ( which might be his true dragon form ) with a black and white mane and dark skin. He has red eyes, one black draconic wing, a cat-like left foot retains his loincloth and lower armor from his humanoid form. His right appendages are all golden prosthetics, with his right arm being able to ignite in purple fire.
Powers and Abilities[]
In his humanoid form, Tartarus can create a dark expanding vortexes which engulfs and explodes on anyone in it. During his first phase he has two abilities, Hell's Brand (which prevents the healing of players to go beyond 1 HP) and Fury of the Fallen (which significantly decreases the strength of adventurers if they're hit. Plus, it stacks making the fight harder). He also display a rushing sword lunge technique and another technique is where he charges his charges his blade with dark energy and swings down to create a shockwave with it. Next, Tartarus summons one (or two laser beams in co-op) to attack adventurers. He also creates a shadow version of himself which goes into one of the portals in his arena however, his very shadow is the cause of abilities in both forms. Tartarus has the power to give himself Relentless Rage to intensify his attacks. He can also entrap adventurers in an unbreakable bubble which requires shapeshifting to break free and if the adventurer doesn't break out in time, the bubble instantly kills the adventure.
In his dragon form, Tartarus obtains new abilities such as Vengeful Spirit which grants him immunity to dispels and Steel-Forged Body which can drains the dragon gauge and instantly cancels out players' shapeshifted, dracodrive, divine dragon forms and personas if he attacks them (also, he has Hell's Brand only in Master difficulty). He can do several lunge attacks, one of them including his disappearing for a moment and home in on his opponent to suddenly strike. Like in his first form, Tartarus retains his abilities to create expanding vortexes, use Relentless Rage to make his attacks even stronger, create shadows to enter portals, summon a wave shadow energy, entrap adventures in a shadow bubble and summon void lasers but they fire in fours leaving a space open for adventurers to dodge.
