Manga & Anime Differences

• Avan loses his nose bandage while casting his Sizzle instead of losing it between chapters without explanation
• A flashback of the Gargoyle battle is shown
• The flashback between Avan and Hadlar uses their later design from the Gathering Arc instead of an aged Dragonlord with staff and the Hero of the first game with Erdrick's helmet

Trivia

• The look of Hadlar's flashback castle seems to have been based on the design from the first movie instead of the Underkeep
• The Magus colour sheme does not correspond to a game species
