Skanda
The One who Holds the Golden Key
The rather goofy Room Guard of the Chamber of Birth.
- Attack Its Weak Point: In the remake, there's a red orb in its chest that you need to target.
- King Mook: A larger, more dangerous version of the normal mudman enemy.
- Public Domain Character: Skanda could refer to the individual, the son of a virtuous king who promised Buddha to protect the Dharma (teachings, essentially) and Sangha (congregation).
- Alternatively, Skanda could refer to the Skandha, otherwise known as The Five Aggregates that give rise to cravings and materiality. Considering the history of the 5th and 6th Children, this seems more likely to be the intended theme.
Chamber of Extinction
Centimani/Hekatonkhieres
Centimani/Hekatonkhieres

Hekatonkhieres found in Eg-Lana
A ghastly creature composed of heads and hands fought in the Chamber of Extinction.

Ba
Ba encountered in La-Mulana
Ba found in Eg-Lana
A human-headed bird fought in the Confusion Gate/Gate of Illusion.

- Shown Their Work: In Egyptian mythology, the soul was split into five parts. Ba is the part that defines individuality and personality, and was usually represented by a human-headed bird.
- Savage Setpiece: Is passive until you hit it.
Shu/Chi You
Shu/Chi You
Defeated King
A multi-armed bull creature that feeds on the blood of sacrifices, fought in the Confusion Gate/Gate of Illusion.

- Mirror Boss: At least, he wields several of Lemeza's subweapons.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous
- Multi-Melee Master: It helps that he has six arms. Subverted in the original game in that while he has multiple weapons, he never attacks you in melee (he does in the remake, though).
- One-Steve Limit: May be a reason for the name change in the remake. In Temple of the Sun, one of the statues is Shu, the Egyptian deity of air who isn't related to this sub-boss at all.
- Public Domain Character: Chi You (or Chiyou) is a Chinese God of War and considered one of three legendary founding fathers of China.
- Taking You with Me: In the remake, don't wait around too long after you get the Infinite Key from him. Unless you want one of the "This is La-Mulana" achievements.

- Unintentionally Unwinnable: In the remake, it's possible to use glitches to enter the Dimensional Corridor without the Helmet. If this is done, entering Kulullu's room by any means other than the ladder on the right will trap Lemeza thanks to the waterfalls, forcing a reset.

- Meaningful Name: Named after Mušmaḫḫū from ancient Mesopotamian mythology. The name translates to 'Exalted Dragon'.
- Took a Level in Badass: The ball with holes is no longer the weak spot in the remake, and the snakes are now bigger, faster and harder to hit.

Mushussu

Raham/Lahamu
Raham/Lahamu
Hairy One
One of Tiamat's children, a large, aquatic suit of armor fought in the Dimensional Corridor.
- Animated Armor
- BFS: In the remake its sword is about as big as it is.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: In the remake. In the original it never uses its shield.
- Non-Indicative Name: Based on Laḫmu, meaning "(the) Hairy One", which a suit of armor is definitely not.
- Public Domain Character: Based on Taimat's and Abzu's daughter, who is also the mother of the first gods.

Mad Hound
One of Tiamat's children, a large wolf creature fought in the Dimensional Corridor.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: In the remake, its eyes start to glow when its about to attack.
- Meaningful Name: "Urudimmu" is most likely supposed to be "Uridimmu" from Mesopotamian mythology, which can be translated as "mad/howling dog/lion" or "gruesome hound", and is a human-headed dog-man or lion-man.
- Zigzagged with "Urmahlullu", which appears to be used to refer more exclusively to a lion-man rather than a hound; however, Sumerian culture tended to group canines and felines together linguistically, so the name can still be interpreted as referring to a dog.
- Enlil is a Mesopotamian god of wind, air, earth, and storms, which is referenced by how the boss attacks. However, Enlil was usually depicted as a man, not a hound.
- Odd Name Out: Zigzagged. All the rest of Tiamat's children are named after their corresponding counterpart in Mesopotamian mythology. Its original name, "Urudimmu", is one of Tiamat's creations; "Urmahlullu" and "Enlil" are not.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Three of them.
- Savage Wolves
- Spell My Name With An S: Some translations of its name spells it name as "Fenlil", which is probably supposed to be "Fenrir" from Norse mythology. Though since this strays from the Mesopotamian Theme Naming, this spelling is likely inaccurate.
- Super-Scream: Its howl creates a shockwave in the remake.
- Teleport Spam: In the original. In the remake it still teleports but not as much.

- Meaningful Name: Beelzebub is sometimes referred to as "Lord of the Flies".
- Public Domain Character: Based on a Philistine god that later became a demon in Abrahamic religions.
- Skippable Boss: An oversight in the remake allows you to completely skip him just by having the Lamp of Time active as you go through his room. This was fixed in later ports; Beelzebub won't immediately fight you and let you get the Grail Tablet in the next room, but the ladder that lets you go further won't appear until Beelzebub is killed.
- Teleport Spam: In the original, he does this while shooting lighting at you.
Spring in the Sky

Temple of Moonlight
Anubis
Anubis
Judge of the Dead
A jackal-headed humanoid fought in the Temple of Moonlight.

- King Mook: A larger, more powerful version of the normal Anubis enemies.

- Public Domain Character: Ki-sikil-lil-la-ke is another name for Lilith, who is often interpreted as a female demon, who appears in Jewish, Mesopotamian, Arabic and Greco-Roman mythology and other biblical sources. In fact, the Unity assets for her refer to her as "Lilith"

- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The snakes sprouting from her back have red eyes.
- Snake People: Upper body of a human, lower body of a snake, with seven snakes coming out of her back. Since the human body is a puppet, it raises the question as to whether the body always had a serpentine lower body or if that's something that was gained when the snakes possessed it.

- Mirror Match: Ajisukitakahikone takes the form of an exact copy of Lumisa, that does anything that she does.
- Public Domain Character: Based on a Japanese god of thunder.

- Energy Weapon: Throws four orbs of light around the room, which fire into horizontal lasers.
- Fragile Speedster: For a late-game boss, Hraesvelgr only has one bar of health. However, its agility in the air and the speed of its attacks can quickly overwhelm an inexperienced player.

- Public Domain Character: Based on a jötunn from Norse Mythology, said to be the source of all the winds and gales in the world.
Gate of the Dead
Unicorn
Unicorn
Steed of War
A single-horned horse fought in the Gate of the Dead. It was bred to be used in wars between the races.
- Horn Attack: Unicorn's horn protrudes from its muzzle, sort of like a narwhal's, rather than its forehead, allowing it to use its horn more like a lance.
- Public Domain Character: Based on a mythical horse that appears in many mythologies and cultures. Famously, it's known to approach pure maidens.
- Zero-Effort Boss: If one positions themselves on a ledge by the rightmost pillar on the lower level, Unicorn cannot hurt Lumisa. The player is then free to smack it to death.
- Alternatively, if the Gate of the Dead is flipped upside down, Unicorn will not be able to jump high enough to reach the "upper" level, and the player can simply rain Earth Spears down upon it.
Hall of Malice
In General
- Call-Back / Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The Hall of Malice's concept and how it functions is very similar to the Dimensional Corridor from the first game.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: Not as many as there were in the Dimensional Corridor, but still a high number.
- Nerf: With more recent updates, many bosses have had their difficulty lowered, with various attacks and behaviours being moved to hard mode.
- Public Domain Character: All the bosses here are based on the various creatures that Echidna, the Mother of Monsters, created in accordance with Greek myths.
Cerberus
Cerberus
The Hound of Hades
One of Echidna's children, a three-headed, serpentine hound fought in the Hall of Malice.
- Body Horror: For one, Cerberus has a sickly-pale, almost grey human body with ribs and hip bones showing through the skin. Parts of its necks show bright red and there are red tendrils flaring out behind its heads. The way it moves seems very unnatural. And that's not even getting to the human head on the end of its snake tail.
- Breath Weapon: Spits a spread of three fireballs. It's "snake" head also breathes blue projectiles.
- Jump Scare: The sudden appearance of the final head, the accompanying noise and the fact that it immediately begins attacking the moment it appears can catch unsuspecting players off guard.
- Marionette Motion: There's something about the way that its heads move that's really jerky and overall feels off.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: In the original myth, Cerberus has serpentine attributes that tends to be glossed over. This Cerberus has a human's body and hound heads while having a snake for a tail and snake-like necks. It also has horns.
- Not Quite Dead: You've depleted its health bar and it falls to the ground. Done, right? Wrong, you still have one more head!
- Public Domain Character: Based on a creature of the same name in Greek mythology, the Hound of Hades that guards the gates to the Underworld.
Chimera
Chimera
Monster of Lycia
One of Echidna's children, a hybrid of three animals fought in the Hall of Malice. It is the first successful hybrid to be created by the 3rd Children.
- Breath Weapon: Each head breathes fire in a different way: the dragon head spits big fireballs, the goat head spits smaller ones and the lion head spits in an arc.
- Flawed Prototype: Being the first of the chimeras made, Chimera was "assembled carelessly", to quote the bestiary: with only the instinct to fight left, it's doubtful if it can be called a "living being".
- Mix-and-Match Critters: It's Chimera, of course it is. In-game it has a goat's head, a lion's head and what looks like a dragon's head, with bird feet and a snake for a tail. Funny enough, its heads are on a large rotating wheel rather than all being connected to the body at once.
- Public Domain Character: Based on a creature of the same name in Greek mythology and one of the more famous examples of Mix-and-Match Critters. It's said that seeing one is an omen for disaster.
Colchian Dragon
Colchian Dragon
Dragon of Colchis
One of Echidna's children, a snake-like dragon with sharp horns and a sharp tail. All that's left of it is its zombified remains.
- Beware My Stinger Tail: On its tail is a large blade, which it uses to lever itself around the arena and to try to stab Lumisa.
- Breath Weapon: Breathes fire that rains down in an arc.
- Public Domain Character: Based on a creature of the same name in Greek mythology, the dragon that guarded the Golden Fleece in Colchis and had to be confronted by the hero Jason.

Delphyne
Delphyne

Karkinos

- Energy Weapon: Fires some from its single eye.
- Expy: A large (mini)boss that takes up the bottom of the screen, is only vulnerable in its one eye, which it will periodically extend out of its socket allowing you to hit it more easily. Just like Viy from the first game.
- Giant Enemy Crab: And of course, you have to Attack Its Weak Point for massive damage.
- I Am Legion: Is actually made of countless crabs put together.
- Public Domain Character: Based on the legend behind the Cancer constellation.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Has a single red eye, which is also its weak point.
Ladon
Ladon
Serpent in the Garden of the Hesperides
One of Echidna's children, a giant skull full of snakes fought in the Hall of Malice.
- Advancing Boss of Doom: Will continuously move to the left, pushing Lumisa off the ledge and causing her to fall from the arena if she's not quick enough to defeat it. However, with the most recent update, Ladon only does this on hard mode now.
- Public Domain Character: Based on a creature from Greek mythology of the same name, Ladon was depicted as serpent-like dragon that guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Both the skull and the snakes have these.
- Spam Attack: Its snakes continuously spit out small flames.
- Tears of Blood: The skull at least appears to have bloody tear stains.
- Was Once a Man: Lost its human body to Typhon's chimera experiments. It's considered a failed experiment due to having no combat capabilities once it loses all of its snakes.
Lernaean Hydra
Lernaean Hydra
The Second Labour
One of Echidna's children, a strange, blue, multi-headed creature fought in the Hall of Malice.
- Nightmare Face: It really doesn't like it when all its other heads are gone.
- Public Domain Character: Based on the multi-headed, aquatic snake monster from Greek mythology, named after its home in the lake of Lerna in the Argolid. Strangely enough, this boss doesn't really look like a dragon or anything close.
- Turns Red: Once all the heads have been taken out, the main body starts moving faster and more erratically.
- Was Once a Man: Used to be human before being subjected to chimera experiments, turning it into the creature it is today. Its head is the only remnant of its human origin to remain.
Nemean Lion

Phaia
Phaia
The Crommyonian Sow
One of Echidna's children, a woman riding a boar fought in the Hall of Malice.
- Anime Hair: The woman's long hair is in a perfect crescent shape. It almost looks like a tail.
- The Dividual: Technically two characters but treated as one, with both called by the same name. This could possibly be a nod to the original legend, where Phaia the boar was named after Phaia the woman. It could also be a way for the game to avoid the Ambiguous Syntax, as another telling of the legend stated that the Crommyonian Sow was a murderous robber woman, not a boar, who was called a sow due to having no manners.
- Dual Boss: Becomes one midway through the boss, as the woman gets off the boar she's been riding on and the two begin attacking you separately.
- Mind Meld: The woman and the boar share a consciousness. Apparently she gained this ability naturally, without use of the 3rd Children's chimera technology.
- Non-Indicative Name: "Phaia" (or Phaea) is Greek for "grey". Neither components of the boss, the woman and the boar, are grey. This is because in the original legend, Phaia was the name of the old woman who raised the Crommyonian Sow.
- Public Domain Character: Based off of the Greek mythical pig/boar Phaia, also known as the Crommyonian Sow.

Orthrus
Orthrus
Sage of the Gigas
Not one of Echidna's children but rather her husband, a fleshy mass of faces fought in the Hall of Malice. Countless experiments creating chimeras has reduced him to a grotesque by-product of Echidna's own experiments. Not that this development keeps him away from his research, mind you.
- Body Horror: Used to be a regular member of the Gigas, is now a horrendous pile of shapeless flesh.
- Breath Weapon: One head spits out blue energy balls while another head breathes fire.
- Meat Moss: It's just a pulsating mound of meat with three faces, hanging from the ceiling.
- Public Domain Character: Named after the Greek mythical creature of the same name, Orthrus is Cerberus' brother, a two-headed monster hound that guarded Geryon's cattle and was slain by Heracles. The actual in-game boss is anything but.
- Nightmare Face: Three of them for the price of one. It gets worse as you damage it and its flesh films over its eyes and mouths.

A winged woman fought in the Shrine of the Frost Giants. Consists of the goddesses Morrigan, Nemain and Macha.
- An Ice Person: Attacks by shooting icicle spears.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Morrigan uses this to catch her (male) opponents off-guard. Notably, her uh... outfit has the most skin showing compared to Macha's All-Encompassing Mantle and Nemain's knee-length toga.
- Fiery Red Head: Macha, whose name fittingly means "fury". She causes madness and bloodlust in those affected by her influence.
- Fusion Dance: After defeating the three sisters, they combine to become Badhbh Cath, beginning the boss proper.
- Our Banshees Are Louder: Though not actually a banshee, folklore states that Badhbh Cath's wailing and appearance foreshadow someone's death or a battle to come, similar to a banshee.
- Pet the Dog: Despite being able to drive her opponents mad by inducing panic, fear and paranoia, Nemain is gentle with those who are close to death.
- Public Domain Character: Based on the Morrigan or Morrigna from Irish mythology, a trio of war goddesses consisting of Nemain, Morrigan and Macha. However, what makes this a bit confusing is that there's no one version of the Morrigna. In some versions, Badhbh Cath is one of the three sisters (with Nemain sometimes replacing Morrigan), not their collective.
- Supernatural Fear Inducer: Nemain's ability, allowing her to turn allies against one another.
- Winged Humanoid: Morrigan, Nemain and Macha have bat wings. Their combined form of Badhbh Cath has feathered wings.

- Expy: It shoots and retracts its arm just like Sakit in the original game. Fitting, since that Sakit was Actually a Doombot and not the real one.
- Gatling Good: Appears to have one outfitted on one of its hands.
- Humongous Mecha: Not as big as other examples but still easily three times taller than Lumisa.
- Last Ditch Move: Upon defeat, Balor will launch a missile before dying that is a One-Hit Kill.

- Hoist by His Own Petard: The ice block it tries to drop on Lumisa also ends up hurting it.

- Public Domain Character: Based on a central deity in Aztec religion. Tezcatlipoca is associated with the night sky, hurricanes, the north, earth, obsidian and discord, among other aspects.

- Public Domain Character: Daji was originally the favoured consort of King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Shang Dynasty in Ancient China. Literature portrayed her as a malevolent fox spirit or being possessed by one, and she's often considered a classic example of how beauty leads to downfall in Chinese culture.

Averted in Hard Mode, where they both appear simultaneously making both bosses much easier if you have Mjolnir.
- Horned Humanoid: Fujin has one horn while Raijin has two.
- Public Domain Character: Raijin is a god of lightning, thunder and storms while Fujin is a god of wind from Shinto religion

Non-Area Specific
Ratatoskr
Ratatoskr
Messenger who Runs the Trunk of Yggdrassil
A large squirrel-like monster that appears several times in the game. Its true form, Hraesvelgr, is encountered in the Eternal Prison.
- Came Back Wrong: Brought back to life as the last mini-boss in Spiral Hell. Unlike the other mini-bosses, which had been resurrected without their heads, Ratatoskr was brought back to life as a decomposing corpse.
- Improvised Weapon: Comes up in the last fight with him. He uses the Ankh Jewel he stole much earlier in the game as a weapon by firing lasers out of it!
- Leitmotif: "Ratatoskr
" - Fragile Speedster: His true form is absurdly faster and agressive that not even the Lamp of Time is able to slow him down, but most of his attacks deal low damage and he goes down very quickly.
- Public Domain Character: Based on the squirrel who delivered messages to Vedfolnir and Nidhogg on Yggdrasil.
- Hraesvelgr is based on a giant who can transform into an eagle.
- Playing with Fire: One of his attacks is to breathe fireballs at you.
- Recurring Boss: You fight him no less than five times throughout the game. Seven if you count his fights against his true form and his undead form.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: His true form, Hraesvelgr, is sealed below the entrance to the Underworld. That doesn't stop him from sending his weaker form at you. Very later in the game, you have to unseal him in order to finish him off for good. And even that doesn't stick, as his Ratatoskr form comes back as a zombie in the final area of the game.
- Took a Level in Badass: Justified. The closer he is to his actual body in the Underworld, the stronger he is. When you first fight him, outside of Eg-Lana, he's very weak. However, every fight you have with him occurs deeper and deeper into the ruins, making him stronger as a result. And even after being killed, he's still strong enough to kill Lumisa at the end of the game.
- Troll: In one instance he breaks open a chest and steals the Ankh Jewel inside, presumably for no reason other than to be a dick. You don't get it back from him until much later.
