A mysterious new character who debuted in ''Afterbirth+'' and was unlocked by default prior to an update in which they are unlocked by killing Mega Satan for the first time. He starts with the new Void item, which destroys and copies the effects of activated items while turning passive ones into random stat boosts. Apollyon is the Greek name of (and he therefore represents) Abaddon, the angel of destruction and the abyss in Revelations, the last book of the Bible.

* FlunkyBoss: Spawns Dips and Corn Dips.

* FlunkyBoss: Just like The Duke of Flies, he'll spawn flies between attacks.
!!Peeper
* EyeScream: His eyes are detatched from his body and you can hit it to make it switch lanes.
* {{Expy}}: He's pretty much a skinny version of The Bloat, whilst also borrowing Peep's name. Although he lacks the brimstone lasers and jump attack, his eyes are always detatched and he shoots out bullets.

* DemBones: A skull and some bones inside some weird rotting purple goop...
* FlunkyBoss: Spawns flies.

!!Loaf
* BadBoss: He'll stomp across the battlefield, crushing and killing his own mooks without any regard.
* FlunkyBoss: Spawns Dips and Corn Dips.
* TalkingPoo: Well, he doesn't talk, but he's a giant monsterous humanoid poo.
* ToiletHumor: A poop-themed enemy named ''Loaf''. Definitely something to expect in a ''Binding of Isaac'' installment.
!!The Duke
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's this game's version of The Duke of Flies, even boiling down to having almost the same name. Although, unlike his predecessor, he shoots out bullets.
* FlunkyBoss: Just like The Duke of Flies, he'll spawn flies between attacks.
!!Peeper
* EyeScream: His eyes are detatched from his body and you can hit it to make it switch lanes.
* {{Expy}}: He's pretty much a skinny version of The Bloat, whilst also borrowing Peep's name. Although he lacks the brimstone lasers and jump attack, his eyes are always detatched and he shoots out bullets.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: If one of his eyes turn red, that means it's about to attack you.
!!Shy Gals
* TheDividual: There's three of them, though you only have to defeat one to defeat them all.
* CreepyTwins: Well, Creepy Triplets.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/{{Mario}} Shy Guys]]. They also bear some similarities to Mask of Infamy.
* SameSexTriplets: They're all referred to as girls.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Which protects them, unless you manage to knock it off.
!!Dusk
* SpeedBlitz: He has quite a bit of movement points, starting at the end of the room and being able to move all the way up and attack you ''in one whole turn''. Be prepared to protect (or heal yourself) when fighting him.
!!Gibs
* BlobMonster: A giant cube of green slime containing organs.
* DemBones: Among the organs suspended in its body include some bones and a skull serving as its face.
* FlunkyBoss: Spawns small goo enemies.
* SicklyGreenGlow: It appears to be glowing, although it's most likely light reflecting through it.
!!Gizzarda
* DemBones: A skull and some bones inside some weird rotting purple goop...
* FlunkyBoss: Spawns flies.
* MightyGlacier: She only has one movement point, but has high health and can resist certain attacks each turn.
!!Sangre
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The red, glowing heart within its ribcage, which has to be exposed in order for you to hurt it.
* DemBones: It's a floating skeleton with a heart.
!!Pyre

* PuzzleBoss: You must match tiles based on the color of its fire.
