Dyntos is the god of the forge and a major character introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. He is revealed to be the original creator of the Three Sacred Treasures, as well as all of Pit's other weapons. The elderly god resides in a strange dimension that houses his workshop, where he can craft and manipulate anything from powerful weapons and living creatures, to entire recreations of various locations in Angel Land. Dyntos is said to be one of the most powerful gods, having the incredible potential to create the world's most powerful army. However, while he refuses to interfere in conflicts between the gods and humans, he still helps Pit by creating a new weapon called the Great Sacred Treasure after Hades destroys the original Three Sacred Treasures.

Characteristics

Appearance

He is an elderly-looking man of average height whose normal appearance belies his vast power and abilities. He has a long white beard and mustache and is mostly bald except for two tufts of hair on the sides of his head. He wears dull grey-colored clothing with a well crafted blue plate on his shoulder and a large hexagon-shaped metal brace on his left arm. His artwork shows him wielding a large metal hammer with which he presumably crafts his creations.

Personality

He mostly behaves like a grumpy old man who likes to be addressed with honorifics, such as "Sir" or "Lord Dyntos" and greatly dislikes it when he is shown disrespect by others. He is a wise and brilliant being, possessing vast knowledge on many things and is a genius craftsman, capable of creating weapons, machines and even living beings and replicas with ease. He takes great pride in his creations and his craft seems to be one of the few things that he shows genuine enthusiasm about. He does not show much interest or worry for the chaotic events that occur outside of his domain, often maintaining a rather indifferent demeanor despite the apocalyptic events going on. His lack of great concern for the world's state of near-annihilation however could be understandable as his powers would have allowed him to easily rebuild the world should the war with Hades gotten out of hand. Despite this, he does seem to genuinely care about the world to some degree and appears to have had some faith in Pit's skills from the beginning.

Abilities

Dyntos is described by Palutena as "powerful beyond imagination" and a being of great wisdom, and may very well be the most powerful of the gods. As God of the Forge, he can create any weapon he can think of and has the very power to create the world's most powerful army if he wanted to, however he has no interest in such a thing and prefers to craft and build for the enjoyment of it. His powers are not just limited to weapons and machines, he can even create living beings with souls and bodies and exact duplicates of anyone or anything, even entire landscapes. He also seems to be somewhat omniscient, having great knowledge on many things, such as all the events that have transpired in the outside world and even knows what is in the mind of others. With his ability to see into the minds of others, he can create exact replicas of their memories in the real world. Like all the other gods, he has the power to communicate telepathically with others, such as Pit and Palutena and he has complete control over the environment within his workshop, easily being able to altar its interior and physics.

Appearances

Kid Icarus: Uprising

In The Three Trials, he creates countless foes to test Pit's abilities, having copied many of Pit's past enemies for him to battle again to see if he was worthy of wielding his ultimate weapon and defeating Hades.

Trivia

• His title of "God of the Forge" most likely indicates that he is based on Hephaestus, the Greek god of the forge and craftsmanship.
• He may have been based or is a new take on Zeus (Kami-sama) from the original Kid Icarus. A powerful elderly-looking god who aided Pit by giving him great weapons if he passed his trials.
