Sharing the sprite of the Skeletal Horror, the Death Warden appears in a Monster-in-a-box in the Cave on the Veldt and frequently uses spells that induce death. It also can use Atomic Rays which inflicts fire-elemental damage to the party.

When defeated it drops the Tigerfang, the strongest weapon in the original version of the game. A duller-brown palette-swap, the Mahadeva can be fought on Ebot's Rock. It uses an ordinary attack, and a stronger attack known as Rib. It also can use Crypt Dust which inflicts Zombie on a KO'd target.
