Aaravos is a fictional character who serves as the main antagonist of Netflix's animated fantasy television series The Dragon Prince. He is voiced by Erik Todd Dellums.

He is introduced as an ancient and mysterious Startouch Elf, an extremely rare race of elves connected to the magical energy of the stars. Trapped within a mysterious prison, Aaravos comes into contact with Lord Viren, and they eventually form a partnership to ensure Aaravos' long-awaited release from his undersea prison.

Following his appearance, Aaravos received a positive reception, with praise for Dellums' vocal performance, his relationship with Viren and later on Claudia, and his tragic backstory that revealed his true motivations behind his actions.
