- Rubber Man: Can elongate any of its body parts to attack.
- Smarter Than You Look: Despite acting like a wild animal, it targets the Achilles tendon to immobilize victims, understands when someone is wearing earplugs and tries to knock them out, and ambushes its victims with their sliced off limbs while they're distracted.
- Spawn Broodling: Any person or animal that hears it speak "Basaru" will go insane and shrink into a miniature mummy. After collecting them, it can multiply itself by transforming its victims.
Marbas
A demon summoned during the Yayoi period by cultists, who made a contract with it to exterminate all the native people. Once his minions proved insufficient, he absorbed them to summon himself.
- Achilles' Heel: Fire, which prevents him from shapeshifting and destroys his feathers.
- Animal Eyes: Has the horizontally oriented irises of a goat.
- Antagonist Abilities: His primary form of attack is spreading feathers that infiltrate the nervous system of any being they touch, ripping them apart and causing their brains, stems and all, to be exposed. His nails will enter the brain and make nerves grow like hair from the inside.
- Baphomet: In-universe, Baphomet is a generic form demons take when they can't be summoned fully.
- Demon Lords and Archdevils: One of the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia.
- Flying Weapon: He can manipulate his feathers and concentrate them into drills to attack.
- From a Single Cell: Can regenerate entirely from only a few strands of hair.
- Gratuitous Foreign Language: Speaks only in Hebrew during the fight, but can actually speak Japanese when showing a dream sequence to Yayoi.
- Intimidation Demonstration: Gave Keitarou and Eiko a demonstration of its power, then points to Keitarou, giggling, as if to say he's next.
- Item-Drop Mechanic: Left behind a ring after he was defeated.
- Light Is Not Good: Is completely white and has angelic wings, yet is an extremely dangerous devil, notorious for slaughtering an entire village in a single night.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: It's extremely difficult to injure him, as he can simply shapeshift to avoid attacks and regenerate from strands of hair. Even then, the actual Marbas isn't actually dead, merely his avatar, manifesting in the mortal world.
- The Paralyzer: His feathers will turn into hairs that take over the nervous system and immobilize the victim before killing them.
- People Puppets: He tried to do this with the Black Asura but failed.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Once he realizes the Black Asura's rain can affect Zenki's fire, he orders him to fight instead.
- Ring of Power: Once his avatar was destroyed, he used the remaining energy from the sacrifices made in his name to make a ring, which can manifest the heart/soul of anyone in your hand after you say their name, which you can then crush, killing them instantly.
- Slasher Smile: Especially so, considering he has two mouths.
- Spam Attack: Scatters countless feathers that drop from the sky, making it impossible to avoid.
- Omnicidal Maniac: He was summoned to slaughter the entire Japanese population, which he seemed all too happy to do.
- Outside-Context Problem: Yayoi and friends only came to hunt ghosts, and no one could have expected to face a demon summoned from over a thousand years ago.
- Too Many Mouths: Has two mouths, one smaller and humanlike, one larger and more goat-like.
- You Don't Look Like You: Subverted. At first, it seemed like a case of In Name Only, seeing as he looked nothing like how Marbas was described to look like, but then it turned out the body shown wasn't his true form. The fact that he looked nothing like his typical depiction is later remarked upon and it's revealed that his appearance is due to the number of sacrifices used to summon him was insufficient for his true form.
- You Have Failed Me: After his minions failed, he absorbed them to summon himself, then killed one for a demonstration.
