Biography
Dai Shi was an ancient eight-headed dragon who long ago believed that mankind should be erased from the Earth and the beasts should inherit it. Thus, his actions led to the instigation of the Beast War around 10,000 years ago though he was ultimately defeated by brave warriors able to channel the Animal Spirits. After imprisoning Dai Shi, the spirit of the dragon was contained and kept in the custody of the newly formed Pai Zhuq that were charged as protectors to ensure he was never freed again. For generations, the Order of the Claw was responsible for guarding the spirit of Dai Shi and trained its guardians who were tasked with watching over his prison. This continued until the modern age where three new guardians were to be chosen in a ceremony with one being Jarrod who grew jealous and angry over not being selected. Despite possessing the spirit of the Lion, he was denied being a guardian by Master Mao and in a fight between the two he came to accidentally release Dai Shi. The spirit of the dragon entered into his body and left the Order of the Claw when Jarrod decided to quit their ranks. Dai Shi then began to exert some influence over the mortal human where he went to free the captive Beast Spirits and become their master. However, he was weakened in his imprisonment and had not attained the full power of himself leading him to seek out masters to teach him the dark ways. This saw him reviving Carnisoar the Sky Overlord so that he would become Jarrod's mentor and teach him his power.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Dai Shi was a beast spirit that took the form of an eight-headed dragon. He was capable of taking on mortal host bodies with one in particular being the bearer of the Lion Spirit namely the human Jarrod.
Dai Shi was a creature that was the embodiment of animalistic rage who represented murderous chaos. He was shown as being extremely sadistic, arrogant, manipulative and completely ruthless. It was said that he intended to erase mankind from Earth and allow only beasts to inherit it. He even told his mortal host Jarrod that he would destroy him and all humans once he recovered his body.
He was able to exert his powerful will on Jarrod and take control of him. However, it was shown that the human's nature also capable to influence Dai Shi. This was apparent when he once showed mercy to one of his subordinates and exiled one of his generals rather than kill them.
Powers and abilities
He was able to inhabit the bodies of mortals that housed his essence until he was restored to full power. This was seen in the case of Jarrod where he was initially limited by the human's physical abilities.

This increase Dai Shi' physical strength greatly and he was able to channel the Lion Animal Spirit against his enemies.
