Anime
Bakugan Battle Brawlers
Apollonir was the most powerful Dragonoid (before Drago evolved into Ultimate Dragonoid and then Infinity Dragonoid and after becoming Neo Dragonoid, into Cross Dragonoid). He was with a clown who used two Dragonoid (Apollonir)s to battle against Dan and Drago. When Drago defeated the two Dragonoids, Apollonir took off his disguise and prepared himself to battle Drago. Dan used the Ability Card D-Strike Extreme and repeatedly did that until Drago defeated him. But when Drago still didn't evolve, he explained that he needed to defeat all of his friends to further evolve. In Bakugan Battle Brawlers, his wings resembled leathery insect wings.
Bakugan: New Vestroia
Apollonir appeared in Dan's dream and offered Dan to be his temporary Partner Bakugan after Spectra had taken Drago. During the battle against Spectra, he easily defeated Viper Helios and Metalfencer, but when Drago was used, he and Dan were backed into a corner. Later in battle Dan used Dragon Proudia, which turned Apollonir himself into a trident. Dan then proceeded to throw him to hit Drago's Perfect Core diamond and freeing him from Spectra's command. Also, Apollonir was revealed to be linked to the Perfect Core and as such, he has the ability to detect Drago from anywhere on New Vestroia.[5]
When Drago says that he can no longer leave New Vestroia due to his link with the Perfect Core, Apollonir explains to Drago that although Drago is linked to the Perfect Core, he had become strong enough to free himself from it.[6]
Apollonir and all the rest of The Six Ancient Warriors battled King Zenoheld and Farbros. Apollonir and all The Six Ancient Warriors were defeated in battle against King Zenoheld and later gave his Attribute Energy to Drago just like the other Six Ancient Soldiers did to the other Bakugan that belonged to the Resistance. This forced Drago to evolve into Cross Dragonoid.[7]
Drago later mentions that the process of giving Drago his Attribute Energy was fatal for Apollonir.[8]

Trivia
- Apollonir's name is a portmanteau of "Apollo", the Greco-Roman god of the sun, and "Fafnir", Apollonir's original Japanese name, who was the Nordic elf who was transformed into a dragon by his greed.
- In the physical game, Apollonir is tied with Clayf for the highest Season 1 G-Power, at 700 Gs.
- Apollonir has the most wings of any Dragonoid, with eight.
- Apollonir is the only member of the Legendary Soldiers of Vestroia to win an on-screen fight.
- He may have possessed the Ultimate Warrior Gene as well because he defeated Drago, who was known to possess it. Dragonoid Colossus stated that only those with the gene are capable of defeating others that possess the gene.
- He also may have known about Drago's ancestry. He told Dan that he and Drago: "share a special bond".[14] This bond was later revealed to be a Switch Code in Gundalian Invaders.
- His horn in the anime is angled in the opposite direction of his horn in physical ball form.
- In Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Apollonir's voice changed between his battle form and his humanoid form. This does not occur in New Vestroia, where he only uses his humanoid form's voice. This does not occur in the Japanese version.
