[[File:DyntosSS.png|thumb|left|Dyntos's portrait]] | |||
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 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. | He is an elderly-looking man of average height whose normal appearance belies his vast power and 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. | 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.

Dyntos only appears in Chapter 24: ''[[The Three Trials]]'', and he creates countless foes to test Pit's abilities by copying many of the angel's past enemies for him to battle again in order to see if he is worthy of wielding his ultimate weapon, the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], and defeating [[Hades]]. | Dyntos only appears in Chapter 24: ''[[The Three Trials]]'', and he creates countless foes to test Pit's abilities by copying many of the angel's past enemies for him to battle again in order to see if he is worthy of wielding his ultimate weapon, the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], and defeating [[Hades]]. | ||
