  • Releases 2 rings of 5 flames which expand outwards and rotate in opposite directions.
  • Releases one large ring of 9 flames that expands outwards.
  • Releases one large ring of 9 flames that can rotate in either direction while expanding outwards.
  • Gradually spits out a Hopper.pngHopper directly below it.

Trivia

  • It is the boss version of the Maw.pngMaws.
  • Boss The Gate ingame.pngThe Gate is the posthumous version of it.
  • Before its fire attack, a purple flame can be seen emanating from its forehead.
  • Despite its name, it acts and looks more like a Horf.pngHorf (or a Psychic Horf.pngPsychic Horf) than a Maw, because it does not move and its eyes are more round.
  • Its fire attack could be a reference to Mega Man's leaf shield/attack.
  • (in Repentance) The visual appearance of the Red Champion version may be a reference to the (in Repentance)Collectible 2Spooky icon.png2Spooky item.
