Biography[]
Ashura[1] is a god with six arms who will attack any victims who insult him or trespasses his chamber. He is first seen when the Prince enters his chamber and descends down his throne to attack him.

Unlike any other enemy or boss who attacks with a sword, he jumps around the room to cause skulls to fall down on the player. He also won't take damage if the player is too close[2].
Trivia[]
- The character's stair decent pays homage to the film The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973)[3]
- Ashura is the only boss not to return in the boss gauntlet during levl 19 possibly due to his unique fighting style.
