Emberus
A fire god, blind since plucking out his own eyes when his son died. Rampages through a neighboring, already-popped bubble searching for his son's lost dog, smashing an entire Lyrx Elf village and setting much of the world on fire, having apparently just been released from the Nothing by Carl's own party. Per Samantha, his great-niece (and, confusingly, also his cousin), he's vindictive over small slights: he once destroyed an entire country and buried it in lava because a drunk man urinated on a dropped torch.

[ NOT YET ENCOUNTERED ]
You haven't met this one yet, crawler. Records unseal as you read. The dungeon appreciates your impatience but does not reward it.
Physical
A flaming giant taller than his own bubble's dome, per Elle's account; blind, having plucked out his own eyes when his son diedB4C28
Appears as a floating head and shoulders, smaller than his full rampaging body but still city-sized, skin a smoldering rocky gray dotted with multicolor hotspots, a second screaming mouth on his right cheek, and empty eye sockets trailing smoke and raining bloodB4C31
System message
No data on this one yet. It either hasn't mattered, or it is about to.
System message
Stats unknown. Rest assured the dungeon has precise figures on exactly how underwhelming they are.
System message
No spells or skills on record. Punching things very hard is not a skill until the dungeon says it is.
