Emperor among the scions, able to reduce to nothing aught he strikes with a single vengeful blow of his fist, created in opposition to Deudalephon the Benevolent, scion of light. Though he was made by the gods to quell the fiends that raged in the Otherworld, his immense strength and fearsome visage drew the fiends to his side, and turned him against his creators. Adrammelech rose to prominence in the Otherworld, whence he led a fiendish horde against the gods, but in the end, he was defeated.

Boss[]
Adrammelech is a boss fought in the Zertinan Caverns in the Athroza Quicksands. It is also fought in the Zodiac versions at stage 35 of the Trial Mode along with two Skulwyrms. It is the only Esper the player can farm High Arcana from, since the party can flee one screen during the battle, then return and steal again. One does not need to possess the Canopic Jar to make the High Arcanas available. Adrammelech resists all elements but Ice that he is weak to. He is a flying opponent. As soon as the player steps into the area, Shambling Corpses will emerge out of the ground and will keep on spawning. Adrammelech has powerful Lightning-type spells, and its Thundaja can be deadly. Adrammelech can also use Bleed. In HP Critical it will use Thundaja regardless of any action taken. If this attack does not KO the party, he will use Perfect Defense, which negates all physical and magickal attacks for a time.

Etymology[]
Adramelech was a god called Baal Adramelech (Baal means "Lord" and melech means "King" in Hebrew) in Assyrian mythology. It is said that children were sacrificed to him, but Greek accounts saying that child sacrifice via burning them or placing them within a heated bronze statue of the god are not historically verifiable, as no archaeological proof of such a large, bronze statue exists.
Adramelech is considered a demon in Judeo-Christian tradition, being generally depicted with a human torso and head, and the rest of the body of a mule, a peacock, or some combination there of. He was described as "The enemy of God, greater in ambition, guile and mischief than Satan. A fiend more cursed — a deeper hypocrite".
Adrammelech is also referred to as the Makara Ascendant, the Sanskrit name of its zodiac sign as used in Jyotish (Hindu) astrology.
