Editing Takhisis (section)

==Aspects==
Takhisis, like most deities, has several different "aspects", or physical forms that she takes to appear before mortals.

The ''Dark Warrior'' is Takhisis as a male or female warrior, usually of the same race as whatever follower she is interacting with. In the Age of Mortals sourcebook, the Dark Warrior is described as a coldly beautiful woman with eyes that burn like funeral pyres, a gaze that pierces the soul, talon-like nails and long and ragged hair, clad in armor wrought from black fire and wielding a massive, blood-stained weapon.

The ''Dark Temptress'' is Takhisis as a seductively beautiful female, again of different races.

There has been some overlap between the Dark Warrior and the Dark Temptress in some sourcebooks.

Her true form is a five-headed [[Chromatic Dragon]], referred to as ''The Dragon of All Colors And None''.

She has also been known to appear in the guise of any mortal creature with multiple heads, and in the guise of a giant serpent.

During the Age of Mortals, she created a new aspect called the ''Shadow Sorcerer''. In this guise, she appears as a stooped figure (usually female, but not always) hidden under layers of wispy, grey-black robes, with the head concealed by a cavernous hood and a silver or  blue-black mask. This is the aspect she used to teach the arts of Sorcery to mortals.
