32	* MultiMeleeMaster: Is capable of wielding several types of demonic weaponry, regardless of the weapon type.

55	* PunnyName: He's an [[BirdPeople avian demon]] named '''Raven'''ous.
56	* ShoutOut:
57	** One of his attacks is inspired by hard mode Blade Man ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'', in which he hangs onto a wall and fires a SpreadShot of five weapons.
58	** Another of his attacks references Sigma's first form from ''VideoGame/MegaManX1'', diagonally leaping from one wall to the other.
59	* TacticalSuicideBoss: His [[spoiler:[[OneWingedAngel second form]]'s head is out of the reach of most weapons, but he tries to stab Flame/Grit with a giant spear that they can stand on and then pulls said spear up to head level]].
60	* UltimateBlacksmith: He is the creator of the various weapons used by the Masters, and invaded Earth partly so he could test out their designs.
61	* WeCanRuleTogether: As soon as Grit and Flame reach the final level, [[spoiler:he offers them both to join forces with him to overthrow the dark princes of the universe. Naturally, they decline his offer and opt to fight him instead]].

73	!!!'''Location:''' Any
74	%%!!!'''Spirit Weapon:'''

76	----
77	* BaitAndSwitchBoss: He replaces the fight against Wendigo in the Canada level by killing him.
78	* JustToyingWithThem: [[spoiler:The reason he flees every time he's beaten is that he's secretly achieved his objective of making sure Flame hasn't been corrupted by the {{Evil Weapon}}s yet.]]

85	[[/folder]]

92	----
93	* AnIcePerson: His fight conists of him summoning icicles and snowstorms to fight.
94	* TheUnfought: Zig-Zagged. He's not fought in the main storyline as The Horseman kills him off before the fight even starts, but he ''is'' fought proper in Remix Mode.
95	* {{Wendigo}}: Goes without saying. It resembles the classic description of a wendigo, having an emaciated body and deer's head.
96	[[/folder]]

100	!!!'''Location:''' USA

103	----
104	* DoppelgangerSpin: Is very fond of splitting herself into four clones. Only the real one will throw knives at you, however.

120	!!Dudyanos
121	!!!'''Location:''' Scotland
122	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Wallace Sword
123	----
124	* OddNameOut: Out of all the 11 weapon keepers, his name isn't based on any draconic creature from legend or folklore, and he's based on most western depictions of dragons in general. The name instead derives from King Dudyanos, a Persian king who tortured Saint George, who is most known for the fable ''Saint George and the Dragon.''
125	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Has very similar traits to western dragons of folklore.
126	* PlayingWithFire: Goes without saying, being a western dragon an all. Three of his attacks are fire based, such as calling a fireball from the sky, doing a ShockwaveStomp that lets out a wall of flame, and his DesperationAttack involves a massive screen-height fire breath that must be blocked with Grit's shield.
127	[[/folder]]

131	!!!'''Location:''' Switzerland
132	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Ice Pop
133	----
134	* FightingClown: Compared to the other 10 weapon keepers, his concept is one of the least serious -- a giant snowman who rolls around, drops snowballs, and provides a huge ice lolly as a weapon on defeat. He's still as dangerous as the others.
135	* AnIcePerson: Being a snowman and all, he is capable of using the snow that comprises his body to attack, and being the symbolism of winter, he is also capable of summoning icicles.
136	* {{Snowlems}}: He's based on the snowman that symbolizes winter in Swiss culture. Naturally, it's a giant snowman here.
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Medusa]]
140	!!Medusa
141	!!!'''Location:''' Greece
142	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Gorgon
143	----
144	* FlyingWeapon: Like Mictlantecuhtli, she levitates her sword around to attack.
145	* {{Medusa}}: Quite obviously. She's capable of using a stone gaze on Flame and Grit.
146	[[/folder]]
147
148	[[folder:Baba Yaga]]
149	!!Baba Yaga
150	!!!'''Location:''' Russia
151	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Witch's Pestle
152	----
153	* DoppelgangerAttack: After losing a third of her health, she splits into three copies which share the same health bar and attack simultaneously.
154	* OneWingedAngel: After losing the second third of her health, she discards her flying cauldron and turns into a partially-birdlike monster.
155	* WickedWitch: She's based off the folkloric Baba Yaga after all.
156	[[/folder]]

169	!!!'''Location:''' Tanzania
170	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Popo's Spear
171	----
172	* BatOutOfHell: It's a batlike creature with a single eye.
173	* {{Cyclops}}: A one-eyed batlike creature from Tanzanian folklore.
174	* EyeBeams: Fires both eye blasts and lasers from its single eye.
175	* ShoutOut: One of its attacks blatantly references Storm Eagle from ''VideoGame/MegaManX1'', swooping down at Flame/Grit at a diagonal angle several times.
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Nian]]
179	!!Nian
180	!!!'''Location:''' China
181	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Dragon Guandao
182	----
183	* MakingASplash: Several of its attacks are water-based, referencing the Nian's undersea dwelling in Chinese folklore.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder:Gashadokuro]]
187	!!Gashadokuro
188	!!!'''Location:''' Japan
189	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Gasha no Hone
190	----

194	[[/folder]]

196	!!Inverted Tower Demons
197	[[folder:Putrid Paladin]]
198	!!Putrid Paladin/[[spoiler:Blaze]]
199	!!!'''Location:''' Sky Gate
200	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Sordid Sword
201	An armored knight similar to Grit. [[spoiler:Is in fact a robot piloted by a female human named Blaze, who was a soldier Flame's physical template was designed from, and was corrupted by the Spirit Weapons she stole.]]
202	----
203	* FallenHero: [[spoiler:They were sent by Gauntlet to steal weapons from Ravenous' army, only to get corrupted by the sword they stole.]]
204	* MirrorBoss: It's basically an evil version of Grit, capable of blocking attacks and even breaking weapons to cast spells.
205	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's never really shown [[spoiler:what happens to Blaze after Putrid Paladin is defeated, considering that she's ejected out alive after defeat. Judging by the cutscene, however, it's implied that she had been too far corrupted to be saved]].
206	[[/folder]]
207
208	[[folder:Pazuzu]]
209	!!Pazuzu
210	!!!'''Location:''' Ravenous City
211	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Stinger
212	----
213	* BlowYouAway: As a nod to being a demon king of wind, one of his attacks is to cause a constant gust of wind that attempts to blow Flame/Grit into his tail segments
214	* SegmentedSerpent: Everything below his lower body is wormlike, ending in a scorpion tail.
215	* TrickBoss: You initially encounter it as a large Pazuzu statue that does absolutely nothing other than bounce around when hit. Hit it a few times, however, and the actual Pazuzu erupts out to start the fight for real.
216	[[/folder]]
217
218	[[folder:Furfur]]
219	!!Furfur

224	* PoweredArmor: Dons a flying mechanical suit at the end of the fight, with a {{BFG}} that shoots goblins as ammunition.
225	* RandomEffectSpell: Whichever move he uses is dependent on which shape his rune roulette stops on. The Square rune has him simply chase you to hit you with his scepter, the Diamond rune summons enemies, the Circle rune causes him to use a ChasingYourTail laser, the Star rune gives him a DoppelgangerAttack, and in a ShoutOut to the ''Literature/ArsGoetia'', the Triangle rune causes him to become vulnerable for a period of time.
226	* ShoutOut: The only boss demon in the game from the ''Literature/ArsGoetia''. In a nod to the book, he becomes vulnerable if he attempts to use a triangle rune, as it is the way to bind him into speaking the truth in the original literature.
227	[[/folder]]
228
229	[[folder:Charon]]
230	!!Charon
231	!!!'''Location:''' Canals

237	* TheFerryman: Based off Charon from Greek Mythology. Although he apparently transports weapons in his boat, as shown by one of his attacks.
238	[[/folder]]
239
240	[[folder:Beelzebub]]
241	!!Beelzebub
242	!!!'''Location:''' Catacombs
243	!!!'''Spirit Weapon:''' Shovel
244	----
245	* BanditMook: He's capable of temporarily sealing Grit inside his bag. Hit him enough to release Grit.
