The Drummer of Vearn's Palace. He's a monster with a drum for a stomach powered up by Vearn in order to check the Magic Furnace that allows the palace to move.

However, while Larhart proves to be a genuine threat, both Borahorn and Galdandy are easily dominated by Hyunckel (a former general of the Dark Army) without any problem, with their only display of superiority being against [[SquishyWizard Popp]], who also gets to kill Galdandy of a single attack after having almost all of his magic power drain off by his feathers no less, putting that claim to doubt.
