Trivia[]
- It is the boss version of the Maws.
- 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.
