īahamut also liked to prove the strength and worthiness of his followers by battling against them in his dragon form, halting the combat when his followers were injured or when they overcame him. However, he also pursued viciously (usually sending his champions and followers) those who tried to steal the hoard from his palace as, after all, he was a god of justice. He used the great wealth he had amassed over the ages to help those in need, while using the magic items he had gathered to further his goals. He valued wisdom, knowledge, prophecies, and songs instead. īy draconic standards, Bahamut was neither vain nor desirous of treasure. He usually preferred to polymorph those who had offended him instead of killing them, although it was also said that Bahamut loathed to sully himself with the blood of evil creatures. He had limitless empathy for the downtrodden, the dispossessed, and the helpless. In spite of his stance, he was also considered one of the most compassionate beings in the multiverse. He accepted no excuses for evil acts, and didn't tolerate even minor offenses by evil creatures. Personality īahamut was stern and very disapproving of evil, always arguing with Asgorath about his crusade against it. He was able to eat anything, however, and he needed no sustenance while in his palace. Diet īahamut's favored food was the early morning frost on blades of grass, honey, and daisy petals. Other recorded guises included that of a prince with a carriage drawn by seven horses, an urchin accompanied by seven friends, a beggar followed by seven dogs, a humble fisher or a young monk who bear the title of the " Grandmaster of Flowers", a title that was also used by the monks of the Monastery of the Yellow Rose. They also believed that while Bahamut was fond of his old man guise, he had other guises as well. Some sages believed Bahamut used this humanoid guise to not frighten non-dragon beings. This persona came to be known among mortals as Fizban the Fabulous. When he wished to wander the mortal world, he usually took the appearance of an old human or demihuman wizard dressed in peasant robes accompanied by seven canaries or other songbirds.

īahamut in his Grand Master of Flowers persona. As Xymor, he was described as a huge dragon wrapped in a scintillating aura of light so brilliant that it was impossible to tell his color.

In his natural form, Bahamut was a massive dragon approximately 180 ft (55 m), with a tail the same length as his body, with platinum scales tougher than any shield (said by some to be virtually indestructible) that glowed with a faint blue sheen, and blue eyes, the exact color of which was hard to specify and may have depended on Bahamut's mood.
