* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: In the first phase of his fight, he wields a axe in conjunction with a buckler shield. On his last health bar, he'll toss both away in favour of a nodachi.



* KlingonPromotion: The in-game lore reason for his change in weapons is presented as this in the ''Progressive'' Manga. A mural Argo discovered after he's defeated depicts two large, port-belied Kobolds; one using a Nodachi and standing victorious, and the other using a Tawlar and laying defeated on the ground.



* RecurringBoss: In the ''Rising Steel'' Event "Aincrad Side Stories: Secret Battle", the Boss for the Floor the frontlines are on is revealed to resemble Illfang and functions similarly to him, starting with an axe and shield before switching to another weapon on his last health bar. Unlike Illfang however, Light the Kobold Lord instead switches to using [[BareFistedMonk Martial Arts]] as opposed to a [[{{BFS}} Nodachi]], with a short sword [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks to throw at players.]]

* AgonyOfTheFeet: The general strategy in the fight against it was to attack it's front feet after it uses it's BreathWeapon, forcing it's head down so they can attack it.
* BreathWeapon: As the first dragon monster faced in SAO, it naturally possesses fire breath.
* DeadlyGaze: A ability it didn't have in the Beta. Aghyellr can have his emit a light that stuns anyone under Level 20 who looks at it.

That being that [[spoiler: dragon blood is the only thing that can cure Nirrnir, Kirito's vampire employer in the Voluptia Casino questline, of poison inflicted on her by an Ardent Snake, and he's the nearest possible source.]]
