When you realise it's the same door behind them and they're in the same room...

[@pappabear4977]

Craig Sperry The guy on the right is just annoying. He keeps interrupting with irritating and unfunny jokes and doesn’t contribute any lore.

[@EternalDeath14]

@@pappabear4977 That's sort of his shtick, guy on left spits out lore guy on right spits out questions, color commentary, or jokes (some fall flat sure).

[@markmontrose6958]

Yeah, but the guy on the right is just annoying and just isn't funny. Be much better for him to give up on the being funny and just actually ask legit questions.

[@DragonGunzDorian]

Well a couple people in this thread are dumb dumbs.

[@destonlee2838]

Brohamut smiles on alignment diversity and flexible ethics

[@Edmar_Thorn]

Bahamut, the God of Bros. :)

[@claduke]

umm36 Brohamut, am I right?

[@tommyleblanc3207]

Bahamut travels with 12 Gold Canaries that are really 12 Ancient Gold Dragons that act as his bodyguards

[@elinsierra4997]

I think that's the most bad ass shit tbh

[@ProjectMathesar]

I think the number is 7 but that may be a recent retcon

[@bfd919]

Bahamut is like Atticus Finch. That was worth a thumbs up right there!

[@Edmar_Thorn]

I performed Atticus Finch's court speech for a highschool speech thing and won 2nd equal in the speech competitions :) XD

[@zackjohnson9928]

The old man form sounds like Uncle Iroh from Avatar the last air bender

[@captainkiwi77]

so one of his boys is literally his wingman

[@gentlemansgambit1018]

Captain kiwi fun fact dolphins have wingmen

[@kaylenboudreau1000]

I was just doing some research on Bahamut and I came across this podcast. You guys are very easy to listen to, informative and hilarious; I'm glad I found this channel!

[@DragonGunzDorian]

I came across them the same way with this exact same video a few months ago.

[@RyuuJinLee]

Everytime I hear about Bahamut in d&d, I can only picture Bahamut from the final fantasy series lol

[@Disciple89ify]

“Buhamet is not a realist he is an idealist”

[@xenoblad]

22:40 He's exceptionally powerful. He's like Spiderman. XD

[@zackjohnson9928]

Hey when Dr octopus took over Peter Parker's body he realized Peter was holding back

[@MysterygamerX1234]

So is All-Might a Bahamut equivalent.

[@EmethMatthew]

Basically

[@austinjeffries5741]

New Fan Theory: The Dungeon Master from the old school D&D cartoon was actually Bahamut in disguise.

[@Licjr]

I've been trying to adapt Council of Wyrms to 5e and your dragon videos have all been super helpful. Thanks guys!

[@joshuastyron3502]

Fizban the Fabulous!!! One of my favorite Dragonlance characters

[@Archonus]

Bahamut is in almost every Final Fantasy, not just 7. In FF1 you give him a rat's tail and he lets you advance your party members' jobs.

[@claduke]

I imagine Bahamut traveling polymorphed into a human guarded by a paladin in gold plate armor that is actually an ancient gold dragon that is his guardian. The Seven Wyrms are Bahamut’s Cabinet, it seems, rather than just his emissaries.

[@Caseyw462]

I use him as an NPC in my campaign right now. He wanders around as a sweet old man that can barely walk. He gives them cryptic information that guides them towards the villains plot but they have no idea who he is :)

[@shaesullivan]

@@Caseyw462 Scaly Yoda, you say?

[@D1LLDozZer135]

Go blue eyes white Bahamut i choose you!!!

[@InquisitorThomas]

Do you think Bahamut and Baphomet constantly gets prayers from each other’s followers because their followers keep fucking up the pronunciation during the prayer?

[@Licjr]

Inquisitor Thomas Like kids accidentally writing Christmas letters to Satan? Absolutely that's gonna be a thing in my campaign

[@undeathstroke7168]

A player I used to work with got their names mixed up all of time. I kept thinking we're going to get jumped and branded heathens at any moment

[@ryanbrown5905]

I remember watching the 1st episode after a Reddit post linked to it. Always nice to see a channel do well.

[@DragonGunzDorian]

I know this episode was a long time ago, but if anyone does try to fight you call me. I'll fight them for you because I HAVE LIKED AND COMMENTED AND WILL ALWAYS SERVE THE DUNGEONCAST!

[@phoenixjm83]

I'm really glad you guys did an episode about Bahamut! He's my favorite God of good! I'd love it if you guys did an episode for each different color Dragon. Or perhaps a couple episodes on some of the lesser known types of dragons. But thanks again for another great episode!

[@tylermenard7398]

Love this podcast! Gets me through most days at work! Keep up the great content!!

[@vfranceschini]

Awesome video as always! By the way, the Hebrew Behemoth was described in Job, and it's not mentioned how it looks physically, it's mentioned that it's strong big etc if I remember correctly; speculations suggest it was something around a rhino, hippo, elephant, etc... Nowadays the term is used loosely denoting gargantuan things/beings. Also, the entity that you've mentioned is probably the Leviathan, described also in Job and associated with the primordial seas if I remember correctly (there was a conflict between these two chaotic entities, I cannot recall it correctly by heart though, it's not mentioned frequently); nevertheless, they kind of disappear in Abrahamic mythos after Job for what I know. Go figure xD Keep up the nice stuff mates! Cheers

[@Fpwc2]

Bahamut came from old arabic mythology, and he was described as a giant whale.

[@davidcarter1965]

Franco Centola that’s leviathan which is a creature who likely stemmed from the semetic god Tiamat Behemoth is described as a large land welling beast with a tail like a cedar and strength in his loins

[@impartialthrone2097]

Behemoth was most likely an Elephant or Hippo due to the detail about its tail being like a cedar. Liars will try to use that line to claim it was a frickin dinosaur, but that's assuming thise who wrote the bible in the middle east/North Africa were referencing a North American cedar rather than the cedar native to their part of the world. Leviathan was most likely an Alligator. The ones that were in that part of the world can be frickin monsters.

[@ted-3dotmov]

I'm creating a pirate campaign around Tiamat and Bahamut and these videos helped SO much!!!! Thank you very much!

[@SageDarkwind]

Whenever you hear Bahamut's name, you know it's a big deal.

[@aliceofspades]

Thank you for explaining Bahamut so well! He sounds like a really cool dude. And I agree that if Tiamat can have five heads, Bahamut should have seven wings. :)

[@edgerunnerwhitelake3897]

Hey dungeon cast. I found you guys on Google podcasts and I've downloaded every one on there. I finally found time to get on the KZbin and leave a subscribe! Just wanted to say I love the content and I usually listen to 7 or 8 episodes a day while at work. Thank you guys for helping me get through my long work days.

[@deviousmile669]

Bahamut derive from the behemoth wich was a terrestrial beast created by god to slain the leviathan who is the sea creature you were talking about at the beginning

[@erikwilliams1562]

Dragon Jesus sounds dope as hell

[@riling]

Bahamut is stronger that Tiamat for sure.

[@Caseyw462]

When Lo was slain by a primordial titan, he split into two halves: Tiamat and Bahamut. They're pretty neck and neck in terms of CR

[@devonmills1968]

@@Caseyw462 yeah ying and yang situation it's an eternal stalemate of balance

[@HellGod67]

@@Caseyw462 Only thing is that Tiamat can just have 5 elements in one breath but Bahamut can make a nuclear blast with his breath. While you can battle Tiamat and win(at least kill her manifestation) you can't fight Bahamut. Yeah, I'm team B.

Bahamut = best quest giver. That's a twist 3rd level quest giver they come back and find out he is a god.

Takhisis is my favourite god in the Dragonlance series but whenever Fizban comes into the story Takhisis gets shoved to the back burner.

Damn... literally got to the part about the 7 great wyrms as I was hitting the bench press. /gymbro

[@m.emreak]

Ep.69 and we are talking Bahamut

[@zionthedragon8866]

Nah, while your right on the name coming from behemoth, behemoth was the LAND monster, LEVIATHAN was the sea whale like monster. It was a mistranslation of Hebrew into Arabic that lead the names being swappes.

[@xanderhebert6257]

They designed Bahamut in a way that the party both doesn’t want to win and can’t win. He is a super good guy, but he is said to know EVERY spell, he has an ice breath attack, he might has a breath attack that literally shoots out a mist that evaporates people, and sometimes his roar can disintegrate things cause it is too loud. And some dms say that you have disadvantage on attacks because is so damn shinny.

[@marvynkawano3090]

Bahamut is uncle Iroh from the last air bender

[@austinjeffries5741]

He is the guudest boi, He likes to fight and test his followers, and He has a blue laser beam of destruction...Goku, Bahamut is Goku.

[@catwhowalks99]

As far as Fizban goes, you might want to check out the Death Gate Cycle, as well. He makes an extended appearance as 'Zifnab'.

[@Atlas-pn6jv]

I guess in my cosmology, the gods are energy based forms that are outside even the astral plane. Even their forms in the outer planes are avatars. The reason they can't enter the planes is because they are just too big and have too much energy for the fragile little cosmos to contain. It'd be like lighting striking an iphone. Or trying to put yourself inside of an iphone. But they all can manipulate it using little actions from the outside, even creating smaller, lower energy avatars on the inside. The Cosmos is virtual reality, and the gods are the users.

[@francisstaines228]

When you realize that your god is Godzilla fighting Ghidorah

[@Agreus-WolfsbaneYT]

I loved the reference to blue eyes white dragon

[@billymiles6870]

Bahamut has his own Fight Club.

[@Mystra]

He's incredibly powerful but corrects me if I'm wrong, what's scary is, in theory, couldn't someone like Elminster defeat his avatar at least, by casting Wish? First, you cast an instant death spell, Bahamut succeeds the save. Then assuming you're not dead yet you cast Wish and choose to undo an opponent's successful save. Meaning he failed the save and 'dies' since deities can't die he's just banished to his realm but that's about all you can do to deities.

[@TheBMWBUM]

you could certainly try...

[@Mystra]

@@TheBMWBUM Yeah most likely you would not have enough time to do this

[@tristinthedragonfan7963]

I know i never played Final Fantasy 7 but I like Bahamut in Final Fantasy 10.

[@oCaioFavero]

Don't know if you guys are taking sugestions, but some episodes on the planes of existence would be cool. You talked about Celestia and it would be interesting know more about it or a general overview on them or something

[@angelvalle6426]

I just want to say thank you for everything I enjoy this video and thank you for reminding me what I've learned three years ago when I was able to summon this powerful powerful Dragon TT was three years black magic mirror I was able to summon the undead into necromancing and some of the creatures from the Best Buy vampires I just want to say thank you for the information I'm so happy you've been years since I seen my dragon I just really wish that I could summon the dragon one more time just to see his glory and his divine power even if I have to do some kind of ancient forbidden ritual to summon him again I would do it in the name of God I'm an angel

[@SpidermanandhisAmazingFriends]

Bahamut, friend of the wind

[@kristincunanan8991]

I think Bahamut is a mix of Jesus and the Buddha

[@several__owls6575]

Anyone else think of Eragon when they talked about Glaedr? Just me? Ok...

Eragon is a big inspiration for Glaedr

[@several__owls6575]

The Templars were a knightly order, not a cult. They didn’t worship David Koresh or Charles Manson or Jim Jones.

[@stephengrant4841]

Iron Cross well, mormons, JWs and Scientology can be considered cults. The definition isn't worship of one leader, there's more to it based on control of their lives and strict rules etc

well ya bahamut dont need more money.. look at the sheer value of his palace... pure mythralbeaten to the ground lol
