Nillious (ニリアス, Niriasu?) is a multiple-headed hydra/dragon-like Bakugan that appears in Bakugan Battle Planet. This deadly and powerful Bakugan is owned by Magnus Black and is a rival to Dragonoid.
Information
In Battle Planet and Armored Alliance, Nillious was a bipedal dragon-like Bakugan with two heads - the left with one horn, and the right with two horns. Part-way into Geogan Rising, however, the design of Nillious was changed significantly, giving him a third head with three horns and adding an additional pair of legs, changing his body plan to be more reminiscent of a centaur. Initially, instead of traditional draconic wings, Nillious had mechanical wings with turbines inside of them - this was changed in Armored Alliance, and kept into Geogan Rising. Despite this, some of Nillious' attacks are still seen emerging from where the turbines once were.

The double headed Nillious main motive in brawls is to kill - not to win. He does not like fighting as a team with his partner, Nillious is out satisfy only himself. He likes to go rogue. Each head has own personality and ability. Untamable and vicious Magnus has his hands full keeping Nillious in line.[1]
Anime
Nillious joins Magnus in his attempt to turn the Awesome Ones' new Bakugan against them, a Darkus Bakugan named Artulean. After Magnus' plan works and he reveals his disguise, Nillious brawls Lightning and Howlkor Ultra, but after the rest of the Awesome Ones return, Magnus flees riding on Nillious.[2]

In Tin Pan Alley, while Drago is practicing his abilities on paper targets, Nillious hides behind one of the targets and surprises Drago by attacking with Shadow Breath and Darkus Blast. To expose Nillious, Drago uses Back Draft to incinerate the target.[3]
In Teamwork Makes the Dream Work, Nillious attempts to taunt Drago into a brawl as Drago, Cyndeous, and Gorthion watch up. Instead of listening to Drago's advice and staying hidden, Gorthion steps out and uses Drum Wave, but Nillious uses Reflection and sends the wave back at Gorthion, incapacitating him. After the failed attempt by Gorthion, Cyndeous steps in and uses Volcanic Lance against Nillious, but misses and is taken out by Shadow Breath. Drago then appears, and uses Guard Sphere to trap Nillious in a bubble, leaving him unable to attack further.[4]
