Personality[]
Ligos is extremely confident in his abilities and wanted to prove he was the strongest. His confidence was so high that he challenged the God of War himself and believed he could win.[1]
Like most demons, Ligos looks down on humans and consistently refers to them as "inferior beings".[1][2] He was even willing to let them entertain him during the Subjugation Round before killing them himself after he got bored. He felt it was an honor for any human to face him directly in combat.[3]
Although he looks down on humans, he is impressed if they manage to damage him such as when tempest damaged his helmet[3] and Hardcore Leveling Warrior was able to match him blow for blow and even overpower him for a brief period.[2]
Relationships[]
Demons[]
Le. Rajie[]
Ligos barely remembers who Le. Rajie was but nevertheless, he was disgusted that Le. Rajie served humans now.
Ruud Ra Kan[]
There was no interaction between them but Ruud Ra Kan knew him and called Ligos a lowlife.
Underlings[]
Octonash[]
Ligos' servant. As monsters served demons, they had a master-servant relationship. Ligos sent out Octonash in hopes that she gets rid of Team Dark and asked her if she was losing to which Octonash denied.
Todish[]
Ligos's servant. They had master-servant relationship. Todish served as Ligos' mount and was ordered to finish what Octonash started.
Others[]
God of Combat[]
Ligos challenged God of War and believed he could win. Even with the power of Nightmare he was easily defeated and sealed under a Mountain-like land mass for an unknown period of time.
God of War released him for the Subjugation Round and asked him to collect the heads of decapitated human heads for collection. Ligos thought it was savage but made promise with God of War to do so.
Hardcore Leveling Warrior[]
At first, Ligos didn't think much of Hardcore Leveling Warrior other than inferior but when Hardcore Leveling Warrior was rewound back to his state when he was ranked no.3, Ligos was shocked by his power and believes that Hardcore Leveling Warrior is the strongest human he has ever faced.[2] Ligos found the no.3 Ranker form Hardcore Leveling Warrior interesting. He was shocked throughout their fight by his power and he thought Hardcore Leveling Warrior was a tough opponent.[4]

“...Tremendous Spell Power...”
― Pooh Upooh[source]
As a being that was once heralded as "the strongest demon", Ligos was an extremely powerful being. Further proof of his strength was that he was ranked as a 5* Level Monster in the Combat Tournament, which would make him five times stronger than a regular field boss.
After being released he couldn't be controlled by the Combat NPC who hold great power in their own right[5]. He was able to defeat a team comprised of Tac, Pooh Upooh and Lime which had an estimated combat rank of S, in a single attack[1].

History[]
Background[]
A battle with God[]
In the past, Ligos used to subjugate humans. A year before the start of the series, Ligos challenged Combat God. Even with the power of Nightmare he was defeated.[1]After his defeat he was sealed under a giant land mass by God of War. He was released by God of War during the Subjugation Round and was the first ever 5* monster introduced in the tournament.
At some point he made Todish and Octonash his subordinates and gave the latter monster his demon shield/barrier.
Season 1[]
Subjugation Round Arc[]
Ligos was constantly communicating with Octonash to see if she could handle Hardcore Leveling Warrior's Alliance but was first seen after she was killed. He appeared with Todish after Octonash was killed and ordered Todish to fight Hardcore Leveling Warrior's alliance. Todish was killed and Ligos had half his helmet blown off by a suicide attack from Tempest.
Impressed, Ligos faced the rest of the party himself. He easiy blocked all the attacks that were thrown at him and defeated Tac, Lime and Pooh Upooh and Lime in a single attack. He managed to kill Sora and critically injured Hardcore Leveling Warrior before killing Dark.
Before Dark was killed, he used Wind Up to revert Hardcore Leveling Warrior back to his #3 Ranker state. This took Ligos by surprise as he had never seen a human this strong. Hardcore Leveling Warrior was able to match Ligos blow for blow, escape from his high tier binding skill, destroy his sword and even send him through 3 mountains . Ligos was split in half by a Moonlight Slash but used Nightmarization. He gained the upper hand and managed to overpower Hardcore Leveling Warrior while using his Nightmare imbued attacks to destroy his boots and slow him down.
The long drawn out battle ended when Hardcore Leveling Warrior avoided a critical strike form Ligos by luckily slipping on the ice created from Ligos' earlier attacks and cortically injuring him. He was killed when Hardcore Leveling Warrior used a Lucky Punch with an attack power of 99,999.[4]
Legacy[]
After Ligos was defeated by Hardcore Leveling Warrior, he became a large chest. Numerous items and body parts of his were within the chest which Hardcore Leveling Warrior distributed with his team and allies after Lila revived them with the item, Tears of Lonares, from the chest.
His organs were given to Pooh Upooh. His skill slab was given to Taek and a succubus' anti aging cream was given to Lime. Ligos' horns were given to Dark who had Le. Rajie devour it, increasing the demon's height and power, and Ancient Devil Ore was given to Sora although Ego had devoured it. Hardcore Leveling Warrior then received a memory of Ligos regarding Zero.
In Season 2, Ligos' horn and power returns and activates as Le. Rajie is forced to nightmarize and then used the late Great Demon's Sword. Bloody Blizzard, to battle Dark.
