Hephasteus [Lord of the Forge] is the Denizen of Time. Eternally angry and impatient, Hephasteus seeks to 'return' to the Forge so he can craft his finest creations.

Appearance
Hephasteus has the following characteristics:
 * Several hundred feet long
 * Upright-class Denizen
 * Wields a hammer known as [Fear No Anvil]  (anagram of Lava Inferno)
 * A titan made of machinery and covered in the thematics of its planet

Capabilities
Hephasteus has several abilities related to its planet. On LOFAR they are:        It also possesses standard Denizen abilities: Hephasteus also possesses Time-related abilities: [Fear No Anvil] is Hephasteus' Tool, and as such can be given to any player who has either tricked Hephasteus into handing it over or earned the right to handle it. This hammer locks whatever it hits in time. Its removal from Hephasteus' possession does not make the Denizen less dangerous, as Hephasteus has spare forge-hammers.
