Biology
Physiology
Azelf is a small, grayish blue, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel on them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement the Red Chain. Azelf has a partially cyan face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Azelf has a cone-shaped head with elf ear-like protrusions on each side.
Azelf is said to have hatched from the same egg as Mesprit and Uxie.
Gender differences
Azelf is genderless, although it is referred to as a male in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness.
Special abilities
Azelf's spirit can leave its body without dying. Its spirit can return to the body at will. Azelf has the ability to control one's will, according to the Sinnoh Pokémon Handbook.
It can also enter the body of another Pokémon or a human. According to legend, if Azelf is harmed it can cause humans to lose all will inside of them, making them completely immobile for all eternity. It was also shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that Azelf has the ability to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans.
Behavior
Azelf can be very cautious around people and Pokémon but when it feels threatened it will reveal its bold side.
Habitat
Azelf sleeps beneath Lake Valor.

Trivia
Origin
Azelf appears to be a pixie or a fairy, although its Japanese name suggests that it's a gnome. Azelf and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the Imperial Regalia of Japan, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Azelf would be the Kusanagi, which embodies valor.
Name origin
Azelf may be a combination of azure or us and elf. It could also be a corruption of self.
Agnome may be a combination of agnosticism (gnosis; Greek for knowledge) and gnome.
