Champion Versions

- Fires a ring of 9 blood shots that spiral outward.
- Fires 4-5 lines of 4 curving blood shots.
- Fires 4 lines of 7 waving blood shots.
- Fires 10 lines of 4 blood shots in all directions.
- All the attacks of the Red version do 1 heart of damage.

The Gate.
Trivia
- It is the boss version of the
Maws.
-
The Gate is the posthumous version of it.
- Despite its name, it behaves and looks more like a
Horf, or a
Psychic Horf than a Maw.
- Its fire attack could be a reference to Mega Man's leaf shield/attack.
The visual appearance of the Red Champion version may be a reference to the
2Spooky item.
