Click here to see God Seed Aldoron

The Wood Dragon God who resides in Draseal... or more accurately, whose body is the foundation on which the city of Draseal, split into five separate towns, is built upon.

Whilst his main body remained seemingly silent, Aldoron can actually speak through the God Seed Aldoron, the leader of the God Seedt who are his servants and creations, and the most powerful of all. God Seed Aldoron is also the very brain of the Wood Dragon God Aldoron and can access all of his true self's power.


Aldoron & God Seed Aldoron

    open/close all folders 
    Tropes A-M 
  • Arc Villain: He takes this role after Faris is captured successfully, wishing to destroy Guiltina and unleash his wrath on the rest of the world.
  • Awakening the Sleeping Giant: The God Seed Aldoron notes that now that the White Mage has destroyed his Power Limiters, Aldoron has fully awakened and no longer wishes to spend his days sleeping away. Now, he will unleash his power and conquer/destroy all of Guiltina for his God Seeds to inhabit, and possibly move on to the world.
  • Badass Armfold: The God Seed Aldoron introduces himself to Natsu with his arms crossed in this manner, and he doesn't drop it as he blows a hole in Natsu's shoulder.
  • Badass Cape: Wears a massive one seemingly made out of a giant leaf.
  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Played with. When Natsu asks him how many humans he's killed, the God Seed Aldoron admits by his own count there were about 300,000 humans living on his body for the past century who dedicated their lives to him as nutrients, but to him it would be rather pointless to keep track of every bit of "food" he ever consumed.
  • Cool Crown: To emphasize his position as the leader of the God Seeds, and essentially the personification of Aldoron himself, the God Seed Aldorot wears a massive crown on his head.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle:
    • Once he fully awakens, a fleet of flying magic warships from Guiltina's Magic Council arrive and move in to intercept, having apparently been watching and waiting for the day he might finally go on a rampage. The ships proceed to blast him in the face with a barrage of Uranus cannons—which the heroes note seem to be even stronger than the Jupiter cannons they're used to—only for him to emerge with no injuries and proceed to casually destroy the entire fleet by summoning multiple giant trees that dwarf the hills and mountains around him and pierce clean through the ships.
    • The God Seed Aldoron dishes a hard one to Natsu in the beginning of their fight. Whereas Natsu could actually beat down on and hurt Wolfen's copies while only worrying about his Power Copying, Aldoron casually batters and draws Natsu's blood by doing nothing more than flaring and focusing his Magic Power onto Natsu's specific body parts without taking a step. Even when the defeat of the other Seeds successfully weakens him somewhat, he's still more than powerful enough to have the upper hand on Natsu before the latter finally activates Dragon Force, and even then he holds his own.
  • Death by a Thousand Cuts: His Thicket of Arms spell unleashes a self-proclaimed never-ending barrage of wooden spikes that will impale his targets until they're nothing but a Human Pincushion. Noticeably, even the main dragon body can launch a similar barrage from its body down on everything around it, and can control the size of the spikes.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He calls Igneel a fool for believing that humans were worthy of standing on the same level as and coexisting with dragons.
  • Foreshadowing: The fact that Aldoron's "brain" takes an utterly inhuman wooden Tin Tyrant appearance compared to Mercphobia, Ignia, and Selene's flesh-and-blood human guises makes sense with the reveal of his Puny Humans and A God Am I mindset.
  • Hive Queen: As Aldoron's brain, who is the source of all the other God Seeds, God Seed Aldoron effectively serves as this. And when he dies, Aldoron himself follows suit.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: On the receiving end from Natsu at the climax of their fight, followed by taking an explosion of flame from Natsu's Finishing Move through the chest and out the back that blows him away.
  • Lack of Empathy: When the God Seed Aldoron is shocked that Fairy Tail managed to defeat his fellow God Seeds, Natsu asks if he’s just another dragon that hates humans. Aldoron states he doesn’t feel anything one way or another. He sees everyone (humans and his fellow Dragon Gods alike) as merely “nutrients” for him to feed, and nothing more.
  • Evil All Along: Throughout the first half of the arc, the characters aren't entirely sure whether he's good or evil, since he allows people to live on his back, and just sleeps most of the time. When he wakes up, though, its suddenly made very clear that Aldoron's only ever cared about the people on his back in so far as he saw them as sources of sustenance, and he fully intends on either destroying, or subjugating the rest of the world. Natsu admits that he's relieved by that, as he doesn't have to deal with the issues he did with Mercuphobia.
  • Gentle Giant: Subverted.
    • Apparently, he was the one to asked the humans to build cities over his massive body. Even when he occasionally emerges, all he does is stretch a little and take a nap on the surface, leaving his people unharmed. As it turns out though, he needed them to stay unharmed until the day he could finally be awakened fully, as many of the humans were in fact living seeds he cultivated with the intention of healing his body. He also couldn't move much even if he wanted to, as that was part of the condition of the sealing he put on his own body.
    • It's then averted when he fully awakens, as he shows no obvious concern at the devastation caused to the towns once he starts moving around, and in fact the majority of the residents are happy by this since it will make it easier for them to remerge with Aldoron's body.
  • Giant Equals Invincible: Dragon Aldoron is so huge that most attacks are effectively mosquito bites on him, and he treats them accordingly. It takes Brandish growing Gajeel to comparable size before someone can actually land a hit that makes him do more than pause and actually knock him around.
  • Green Thumb: He can control plant life. The majority of Draseal's residents are living "nutrient seeds" that he cultivated from his sealed power that masqueraded as humans for generations, their intended goal to fuse with him once he fully awakened to fully heal any remaining injuries he possessed. The God Seed Aldoron goes so far to claim that Aldoron has power over life itself.
  • Jerkass Gods: The people of Draseal revere him as a deity, even willing to sacrifice themselves to him. Aldoron only ever viewed them as nourishment to grow stronger.
  • Life Drinker: The God Seed Aldoron reveals that in addition to his human looking seeds, actual humans would live in his cities where he would absorb their energies over generations to add to his power. There’s no mention if this was detrimental to the humans, or not. He also reveals this is basically his motivation with his awakening, and aims to feed on even his fellow Dragon Gods.
  • Meaningful Name: The God Seed Aldoron shares the name of the Wood Dragon God because, since he's Aldoron's very brain and will, he is him.
  • Mook Maker: He can spawn "God Seeds" from his body, which are effectively humanoid tree seedlings that serve the purpose of fighting smaller human targets on his body he can't be bothered or be practical to face himself.
  • Mr. Exposition: Since he's taking his sweet time "fighting" Natsu, he decides to indulge in telling him a bit about Aldoron's history and his current motives.

    Tropes N-Z 
  • No Body Left Behind: As he dies after the God Seed Aldoron is destroyed and his body is wrecked from the inside out by Natsu's Purgatory Dragon Fire, Aldoron's giant body collapses and crumbles in on itself.
  • No-Sell: Once again reminding the audience that only Dragon Slayer Magic has any real hope of harming a dragon, Aldoron gets shot in the face by over a dozen Uranus Magical Convergence Cannons (essentially an upgraded version of the army-destroying Jupiter cannon) and isn't even phased before destroying the entire flying fleet of ships attacking him. Chapter 58 also has Brandish explain that he's too powerful for her to use her Sizeshifter magic on.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: When Natsu calls him out on his Life Drinker tendencies, Aldoron attempts to make the argument that it's no different from humans killing animals to eat. Natsu fires back that humans do that to survive, not to parasitically grow stronger, and they definitely have more respect for their "prey" than Aldoron does for humans.
  • Not So Invincible After All: Once he awakens, he fights the magical military and easily decimates them in seconds and indeed his God Seeds would kill any normal human that went against him. But Fairy Tail turns out to be more formidable and intuitive then he realizes and one by one his defenses are taken out, which weakens him severely before Natsu finally gives the finishing blow.
  • Oh, Crap!: The God Seed Aldoron has one when he realizes that Doom has fallen, and Natsu notices his magic power seems to have suddenly dropped a bit. They continue as the other Seeds fall and he weakens more, but he notes and shows he's still more than powerful enough to overwhelm Natsu on his own...and then he's taken off-guard by something (giant-sized Gajeel) attacking Aldoron's main body himself.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: He resembles a Kaiju dragon made of wood, or even a massive plant in the shape of a dragon complete with a giant tree growing out of his back. And that's to say nothing of his ability to drain the life force of anything that stays on him long enough, nor his death scene where his body crumbles apart like he really was nothing but a giant wood construct.
  • Pretender Diss: When their battle hits its peak, Aldoron angrily declares Natsu is nothing but a mere human using a dragon's power, and that humans are nothing but prey to dragons and especially to gods. He ends up eating those words when Natsu gets serious and beats him in combat.
  • Plant Mooks: The "God Seeds" are effectively this, humanoid tree creatures spawned from his body and power that he uses to fight humans and other similarly small creatures on his body. They also have the ability to masquerade as humans and with enough time can collect energy to give it back to him by remerging with his body.
  • Power Limiter: Contrary to what the White Mage was led to believe by Selene, the five orbs within the towns on Aldoron's body don't contain his power, but rather are seals on his power he himself set up, in order to control the power he stored up in his effort to heal the injuries inflicted on him by Acnologia centuries before. Once all are shattered, he awakens in full.
  • Pride: The God Seed Aldoron reveals that not only does Aldoron believe dragons are the pinnacle of nature and thus sharing the same Puny Humans mindset as most villainous dragons, he takes it a step further by viewing himself truly as a level above even other dragons as a proper god for whom even other dragons are just a source of nourishment for.
  • Rank Scales with Asskicking: As the leader of the God Seeds, God Seed Aldoron is also fittingly the strongest of them all.
  • Rent-a-Zilla: Mercphobia states that Aldoron is the largest of the Dragon Gods. Considering Mercphobia himself was one of the largest dragons shown, Aldoron is the largest dragon period. To put a size perspective on it, one of the towns that make up the city of Draseal can fit on the back of one of his hands, with four more scattered on his upper body. God Seed Aldoron reveals Aldoron wasn't always this large, originally only large enough to carry a single town on his back, but as he drew in power over the centuries to heal his injuries from Acnologia he grew larger and larger into the colossus that towers over mountains by the present-day.
  • Scissors Cuts Rock: God Seed Aldoron's "Leaf Tempest" creates a tornado of leaves that Natsu tries to burn away, only to be shocked when the leaves emerge from the inferno unharmed and pelt him. As Aldoron states, there are leaves in the world that don't burn. It's only when Natsu goes Dragon Force can he start to burn them again.
  • Stronger with Age: Aldoron was originally much smaller, only able to fit a single town on his backside, but 400+ years of storing power by siphoning off the inhabitants of the town allowed him to grow into a colossus that towers over mountains and could fit five towns on his upper body to siphon nutrients from.
  • Super-Scream: Once he fully awakens, he unleashes a massive roar that sends everyone who hears it to covering their ears.
  • Super-Toughness: The God Seed Aldoron may have hit a new level of this. Natsu punches him in the back with Fire Dragon King's Demolition Fist, which can be viewed as almost a pillar of light shooting out of the town...and the most it does is make Aldoron pause for a second like he noticed a mosquito bite. The God Seed that shows up shortly afterwards "congratulates" Natsu by saying he dealt "one point of damage" to Aldoron, before adding that Aldoron's stamina is worth 100,000,000 points and that he might be able to defeat Aldoron if he can repeat that move another 99,999,999 times. In the end, it takes Natsu using Dragon Force and drawing upon the power of every fire dragon's magical power he's eaten before (Igneel, Atlas Flame, and Ignia) to kill him, and that's with the caveat of attacking the much smaller but no less dangerous God Seed Aldoron who was weakened somewhat by his strength being halved from his dragon self's long sleep, the destruction of the other God Seeds and Gajeel's attack on his main dragon body.
  • Tin Tyrant: God Seed Aldoron visually resembles one despite being made of wood rather than metal, being a massive being with a body fashioned in the form of armor complete with Spikes of Villainy. His face also visually resembles a knight's helmet with the visor down.
  • Treants: He resembles the dragon equivalent, being what looks like massive (even by the standards of dragons) living tree in the form of a dragon with scales like bark, and he's an ancient being who doesn't mind the fact humans have made cities on parts of his body.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Revealed posthumorously to be one for Selene. She honestly could have cared less if he tried to take on the world and the other Dragon Gods, only that he provide decent entertainment before either emerging victorious or getting himself killed, even if she didn't really believe the latter would happen. She doesn't hesitate to call him "weak" after the fact regardless.]]
  • Worf Had the Flu: Even discounting the fact that Aldoron's other God Seeds are tied to his power and defeating them weakened him enough for Dragon Force Natsu to finish him off, Mercphobia reveals that Aldoron was "only" at half power even at his peak during that fight since he just woke up and didn't have time to fully bring his power to bear.
  • Wreathed in Flames: When he awakens in full, the wooden horns on his head ignite with flames.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He hits this during his final battle with Natsu as the latter gives him a Shut Up, Hannibal! speech and he realizes to his horror that Natsu is managing to channel the flames of Igneel, Atlas Flame, and Ignia together in Dragon Force with enough power to destroy him.
  • Worthy Opponent: Zig-Zagged when he brings Natsu to him. He acknowledges that Natsu has proven himself a threat with the clever way he managed to deal with Wolfen, which is the very reason he's taking the fight to him personally, but Aldoron also expresses no worry of himself losing the fight and punctuates this statement with his first attack drawing Natsu's blood while not moving from the spot. It's his refusal to take Natsu sufficiently seriously in time that gets him killed once his God Seeds die to weaken his power and Natsu unleashes his Dragon Force.

Draseal

    Draseal in General 
  • Inconsistent Dub: The official translation by Kodansha interprets the city's name as "Draseal", prior to The Reveal that the city is supposed to represent the seal Aldoron placed on himself, hence the name "Draseal".
  • Meaningful Name: "Draseal" is meant to be a play on "dragon's seal", as he established the city on the site where he sealed his power away, something Selene chides Faris for not realizing when she cons her into breaking the seals and awakening Aldoron fully.

Minor God Seeds

    God Seeds in General 
The "guardian deities" of the Wood Dragon God Aldoron, a group of humanoid trees created through his magic. They were sealed away by the five orbs on Aldoron's body with his magic and possess between them the Wood Dragon God's power.
  • Green Thumb: Almost all of them, though each use it in different ways.
    • Wolfen creates more copies of himself out of wood that share his Hive Mind.
    • Metro creates giant wood Golems to fight for him and can absorb water-based attacks much like how a tree would.
    • Doom uses spores that drain the life and energy of his foes away.
    • Gears is the aversion, as he uses Mind Rape magic.
  • Keystone Army: As it turns out, they're all this to God Seed Aldoron and by extension Aldoron himself. Should even one of them be defeated, it weakens the available magic power Aldoron has. This is mitigated, however, by the fact they will all eventually revive with time. However, God Seed Aldoron's death and the massive destruction wrecked on the main body by Natsu's final attack puts an end to them and Aldoron for good.
  • No Body Left Behind: The fate of any destroyed God Seed is this.
  • Plant Mooks: They are all this to Aldoron.
  • Resurrective Immortality: God Seed Aldoron reveals since Aldoron has power over life, the God Seeds will revive eventually no matter how they died. As it turns out, though, the destruction of both God Seed Aldoron and the sheer damage the Wood Dragon God's body takes from Natsu's final attack is enough to overcome this, killing them all for good.
  • Shout-Out: Excluding Aldoron, the God Seeds' names are derived from various shooter-style video games.
  • Undying Loyalty: All of them have this to Aldoron as he is their creator, to the point they would willingly sacrifice themselves if it benefited him.

    Wolfen 

Wolfen

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_100yq_wolfen.jpg

The first line of defense among the God Seeds. He can spawn multiple copies of himself from Aldoron's body, and reads the minds of his foes to copy the form and powers of the strongest person they can think of.


  • Hoist by His Own Petard: His Power Copying is incredibly dangerous, but it has several weaknesses. For one, he actually needs to see the person in his foe's memories to turn into them, and once he transforms into a person with that particular copy body he's stuck with it. Also, he copies all of the person's abilities, including ones that might be detrimental. Natsu uses this against him twice, first by thinking of Happy by complete accident as his "strongest person", leaving that copy helpless to actually hurt him, and then tricking another Wolfen into deliberately taking Zeref's form...and his uncontrollable curse of Ankhselam, which responds to Wolfen's love for Aldoron to go wild. This last one in particular forces Wolfen to completely leave the battlefield.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Realizing how badly he screwed up fighting Natsu, Wolfen dispels all of his copies and retreats to let his fellow God Seeds destroy Fairy Tail, not wanting to risk more of them trying a similar trick against him.
  • Lean and Mean: His default form has a noticeable thin and wiry build, and he's an antagonist out to kill anyone who might threaten Aldoron.
  • Power Copying: By virtue of his copying powers, he perfectly copies any abilities of the person he turns into. That includes the uncontrollable nature of Zeref's curse of Ankhselam.
  • Self-Duplication: He can spawn multiple copies of himself to overwhelm the opposition with sheer numbers, and destroying one body doesn't affect him as he can simply take control of another grown from Aldoron.
  • Telepathy: He reads minds by grabbing a person's head. Even if they destroy the limb, that initial contact is all he needs to find someone to turn into.

    Metro 

Metro

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_100yq_metro.jpg

A God Seed who commands an army of gargantuan tree creatures.


  • Assimilation Backfire: Absorbing Juvia does give him a power boost, but when Juvia starts to literally boil due to her emotions getting the better of her, it starts to scald him from the inside. Then Gray freezes Juvia directly and moulds her ice form in order to hurt him further and pull her out of him, which sets him up for their finishing blow.
  • The Assimilator: He absorbs Juvia due to the properties of her water body and is able to make use of her spells while warding off Gray's attacks since he's reluctant to attack and hurt her too. However, this leads to Assimilation Backfire.
  • Badass Armfold: He assumes this position while letting his constructs fight Fairy Tail.
  • Blood Knight: It's heavily implied, as he expresses interest in fighting Fairy Tail, and it's noticeable he decides to confront nearly the entirety of the guild himself while Gears and Doom go after the isolated members and Aldoron faces Natsu directly.
  • The Brute: He's massively built compared to the other God Seeds, and summons forth a host of giant tree creatures to do battle with Fairy Tail. He also states that he'll destroy Fairy Tail with his brute strength rather than Wolfen's "tricks."
  • Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: He pulls this on Juvia when she uses her Water Body to avoid his attacks, reminding her that wood absorbs water and proceeding to absorb her directly.
  • Golem: His main shtick is controlling an army of giant wood constructs. Each one is powerful enough to tank multiple attacks from some of Fairy Tail's best, to the point he uses one to act as a shield against a combined attack from Juvia and Gray and No-Sell it, and they previously had been able to tear through Wolfen's clones en masse on their own. Gajeel even notes in shock his iron can't pierce through it. It takes Lucy using her Taurus Dress to actually noticeably damage one, and then she needs to use Double Star Dress with Scorpio and Aquarius to take one out with one shot.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: He seals his own defeat when he absorbs Juvia, as she and Gray are able to hurt him from the inside before disorienting and weakening him enough to be hit dead on by their Unison Raid.
  • I Have Your Wife: Pulls this on Gray when he absorbs Juvia, as attacking carelessly would hit her.
  • Keystone Army: Once he's defeated, his Golems fade away.
  • One-Man Army: With his ability to summon and control an army of giant wood Golems that individually can stand up to attacks from multiple Fairy Tail members at once, he definitely qualifies.
  • Powers Do the Fighting: Noticeably only lets his constructs do the fighting against Fairy Tail while he stands back and watches, despite his general build, and he only moves once to summon a golem to shield him from attacks. Juvia openly wonders if this means he himself can't actually fight while the constructs are in play. He also settles for just using Juvia's water powers blast away at Gray when he absorbs her.

    Gears 

Gears

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_100yq_gears.jpg

The tactician of the God Seeds who often comments on the "gears" of his enemies, with his power specifically being able to brand his foes with magic circles in the shape of gears that restrict their bodies and minds into helplessness.


  • Badass Cape: He wears a very fancy one, and he's one of the most powerful servants of the Wood Dragon God.
  • Genius Bruiser: He's the tactician of the God Seeds and strong enough to fight Jellal evenly one-on-one.
  • Geometric Magic: He marks his opponents with gear-shaped magic circles that restrict and manipulate their body movement and thoughts. It's not Instant Runes, as he had to fight Jellal at least for a little bit before he could make the magic take effect.
  • Kung-Fu Wizard: Once his magic takes effect, he prefers just beating the life out of his foes with his bare hands.
  • Master of Illusion: As part of the Mind Rape aspect of his magic, he can make himself appear as a loved one to the affected that leaves them confused and reluctant to fight back on top of their already slowed movements, as shown when he makes himself appear like Erza to Jellal's eyes.
  • Mind Rape: Due to how his magic affects his foes' thoughts, Jellal is left unable to cast magic and his reflexes become dulled, letting him get absolutely pummeled without remorse. It's only due to an intervention on the part of Ultear's Astral Projection that he realizes what's happening and manages to turn the tables on Gears.
  • Oh, Crap!: He barely has time to freak out when Jellal manages to use his Thought Projection magic to create a body double to bear the gear marks in his stead before Jellal nukes him with Grand Chariot.
  • The Strategist: Described as the tactician of the God Seeds.

    Doom 

Doom

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ft_100yq_doom.jpg

A childlike God Seed who brings death to those who defy Aldoron with deadly paralyzing spores.


  • Beware the Silly Ones: He noticeably looks more goofy than the other God Seeds and talks like a eager kid, but he also introduces himself as a killer. He proves it when he catches Carla's kick and covers her in fuzzy spores that will kill her with enough time.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: His name is literally "Doom", after all.
  • Oh, Crap!: Gets a progressively bigger one as the minor Fairy Tail members powered up on Wendy's Enchantment keep landing hits, but his biggest is definitely when Max brings down his finishing move Raml Sayf.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: His attitude, especially when he's losing, brings this to mind.
  • Touch of Death: By grabbing someone, he can smother them with spores that paralyzes them and sprouts a flower with petals on their head. When all the petals fall off, that person dies. He outright says this isn't some status effect that Wendy can just use a Anti-Debuff on, but rather the "fate of death."
  • Villainous Breakdown: He's left in utter disbelief that a bunch of Puny Humans are actually capable of overwhelming him, and with each successive blow he gets more and more unhinged.
