Amduscias

Amduscias, also known as Hellfire Beast, is an enemy in the Castlevania series. He is a demon in the form of a unicorn, known as one of the best musicians in hell.

OriginsEdit

King Amdusias has twenty-nine legions of demons and spirits under his command and has the rank of "Great King". He is depicted as a human with claws instead of hands and feet, the head of a unicorn, and a trumpet to symbolize his powerful voice.

Amdusias is associated with thunder and it has been said that his voice is heard during storms. In other sources, he is accompanied by the sound of trumpets when he comes and will give concerts if commanded, but while all his types of musical instruments can be heard, they cannot be seen. He is regarded as being the demon in charge of the cacophonous music that is played in Hell and can make trees bend at will.

DescriptionEdit

Amduscias is a unicorn demon. He has a mainly human body with a gray horse head. He can summon powerful thunderbolts or cause pillars of fire to erupt where the player is standing.

In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night he has a puffy red-furred mane and wears dark-colored armor, whereas in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness his torso is exposed and holds a magic book on his hand with which he attacks by summoning bizarre tornadoes from ripped out pages.
