Behavior

Mega Maw is stationary and will perform the following attacks:

• Fires projectiles at Isaac in disorganized bursts similar to Monstro.
• 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 directly below it.

  • Fires a ring of 9 blood shots that spiral outward.
  • Fires 4 lines of 4 curving blood shots.

Trivia

• It is the boss version of a Maw.
• The 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 (or a Psychic 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.
