He can transform into a large dragon with indigo scales.

Personality[]
Ristas is rash and impulsive. He will immediately jump to whatever conclusion fits his narrative. Even so, he still acts respectful to those that he deems worthy.
Ristas is focused and utterly determined when faced with a task that he wishes to accomplish. One such example is when he would practice his fighting skills nonstop in order to best Tio in combat and become her husband.
Chronology[]
Ristas has lived on a hidden island with the rest of his race for centuries. He was among those that wished to win over and wed Tio Klarus by besting her in combat, to which he always lost.
When Tio returned to her village in order to report of Ehit's plan to wipeout all life on Tortus, Ristas and the other dragonman were shocked by this revelation, but were equally shocked at Tio's new perverted persona after seeing her writhe in ecstasy while explaining all of the brutal things that she experienced when she first encountered Hajime Nagumo that led her to fall in love with him.
Ristas was among the dragonmen that accompanied Tio in order to fight Ehit. Ristas severely criticized Hajime for his role in turning Tio into a massive pervert after seeing how much she had changed from her former self. He even went so far as to accuse him of brainwashing her into being his slave, but was quickly admonished by Tio's grandfather Adul for letting his jealousy overcome him.
During the battle against Ehit's forces, Ristas and the dragonmen provided air support for Tortus' allied forces against Ehit's apostle army. At one point, Ristas protected Adul from a apostle's attack, while he was vulnerable. Adul thanked Ristas before he incinerated that apostle as well. Ristas begrudgingly admitted that he could not have saved him without Hajime's artifacts. Adul then jokingly remarked how Ristas was still upset at how Tio had chosen Hajime over him, but Ristas claimed that he simply did not like Hajime, before flying off to confront more of Ehit's apostles.
When a second wave of apostles arrived on the battle and unleashed a combined attack at the allied forces, Ristas and the other dragonmen aided their allies by firing their breath attacks at the enemies, even though it exposed them to attacks from the apostles they were already fighting. Unfortunately, the new apostles had already managed to charge their magic before they even arrived, and managed to breakthrough to the command center. As the apostles unleashed a barrage of disintegration magic to wipe out Tortus' forces, Ristas and the other dragonmen provided support for Kaori Shirasaki, who created a barrier to protect everyone. They managed to succeed in stopping the attacks, but they had used up all their mana in the process. Furthermore, the apostles were prepared to unleash a second wave of disintegration attacks at the allied forces. As they were on the verge of eliminating Tortus' army, however, the apostles suddenly became completely motionless. Everyone realized that this meant Ehit had been killed by Hajime.

Quotes[]
- (Talking about Tio): "Before she left the village, she was a wise, kind, and noble princess. Everyone loved and respected her! She wasn’t the kind of person who’d get aroused from being slapped, or derive joy from being insulted! It’s obvious that all of you... no, that boy over there she refers to as Master did something horrible to her!"[1]
