Yes, you heard me right. In my game I have a mechanic called the "nightmare hour" where at 12:00 AM every night (my game has a day/night cycle) there is a 1/5 chance that something called the nightmare hour will occur. At this time time pauses, the screen turns black and white, mist covers the area, and an incredibly powerful "nightmare boss" spawns somewhere on the map. Your goal then is to reach the exit before the nightmare boss sees and attacks you. During this event chests containing rare items spawn as well as scouts that if they see you will call the nightmare boss to start chasing you. That's when you need to get out of there. However, if you do end up being caught by the nightmare boss, get ready for the fight of your life as these special bosses are no joke! Nightmare bosses are divided into three groups, Nightmares, Archfiends, and Oni, with each one having a special dropped weapon/armor that are some of the best gear in the game. There are 6 nightmares, 7 archfiends, and 3 Oni. Here are them listed:

Oni
-Crimros the Red: Vulcan Hammer (Axe)
-Azravos the Blue: Aymr (Axe)
-Ebonzos the Black: Nightmare Bat (Axe)

Nightmares
-Motormouth: Motorized Fists (Fist)
-King Kill: Hellwing (Bow)
-Angler Eye: Chain Gillotine (Dagger)
-Tinker Toy: Clockwork Armor (Heavy Armor)
-Booboo Bear: Blood Claws (Fist)
-Demon Wall: The Crusher (Axe)

Archfiends
-Belphegor: Lazy Shell (Heavy Armor)
-Mammon: Gilded Staff (Staff)
-Asherah: Venus Pole (Staff)
-Beelzebub: Pest Crop (Spear)
-Asmodeus: Lordly Robes (Magick Armor)
-Matsema: Armageddon (Bow)
-Helel: ???

I have the drops for every other boss, but not for Helel, who FYI is basically the biblical satan 1 for 1. So, do you guys have any ideas for what the lord of darkness, satan, would drop? Weapons or armor ideas? I don't want to do something generic like "Hell Bident." I want something more powerful sounding than that. Their drops are supposed to be legendary gear after all. Any ideas? And yes, I know you guys are going to say that this is a lot of bosses and to cut down on things, but I'm trying to make the most ambitious RTP game ever gameplay and story wise. Go big or go home. Last time I made way to many full-on story segments and areas. This is just a few extra bosses with simplistic mechanics, a lot easier to design than something like the planned Golden and Demon routes of Meteo Chronicles or the whole Outrealm Isles optional area.

Beelzooka (A play on Beelzebub and bazooka. Maybe a little too silly.)

Belial Spike (Belial is an ancient Hebrew demon, possibly a form of Satan. Belial literally translates as "worthless".)

Shaitan's Desolation (Shaitan is the Islamic form of Satan. Desolation could be any type of destructive weapon.)

Infernal Blade

Infernal (weapon type)

Abaddagger (Obviously, a play on Abaddon and dagger. Abaddon is the Greek ruler of the pit and where we get our cultural concept of Satan from. In Christianity, his role is slightly reduced from that of Satan. Like Satan and his fellow fallen angels, he's an Archangel, but as the Lord of the Pit, he's the keeper of the dead, and the Ruler of Sheol. Sheol is a location between heaven and hell more commonly known as Purgatory, which is where the dead go to be judged.)

Abaddarda (Play on Abaddon and Alabarda. Alabarda is the Spanish word for Halbard.)

(weapon type) of Samael (Samael is an Archangel, the Angel of Death, and is the Jewish version of Satan. He resembles Lucifer in many ways, though Lucifer is the Angel of the Dawn, or the Light-Bringer.)

Diablo's Dolabra (A dolabra is a type of pickax, an entrenching tool that was designed so that soldiers could, funnily enough, dig trenches through rock. It was used by ancient Roman priests for animal sacrifices. Just imagine a demon carrying a massive pickax with a waved pick end and a broad hammer.)

Scythe (The scythe has a huge presence in folklore. As a tool for harvesting crops, it may be one of the most important symbols in human history. The scythe is used at the end of summer to harvest food from the fields, signaling the beginning of winter, which is almost certainly why it's so closely associated with death. Very nearly every major religion has a prominent example of the scythe. In ancient Greek lore, the scythe is the weapon of the Titan Cronos (Ouranos [Uranus] in Roman lore), father of the gods of Olympus, Cronos also being the God of Time, who would reap the harvest of souls at the beginning of winter (there's that relationship with death again.). Cronos is, indeed, the Grim Reaper. But the scythe may not be the most appropriate for Satan. The Grim Reaper is a psychopomp. The personification of death. He's neither good nor evil.)

Lilith's Talon (Her story is found in the Talmud, the original Hebrew version of the first five books of the Bible. It was not included in Christian scripture. Lilith was Adam's first wife. He refused to treat her as an equal and she flew off in a rage, shouting God's true name to the heavens. God, angry that she shouted His true name, demanded that she return to Adam, but she refused and God cursed her so that she was forced to devour her own children for the rest of eternity. Returning to Adam, God made Eve in order to replace Lilith and made Eve more obedient. Lilith is the prototype demon for the succubus.)

Hecate's Falx (Hecate [pronounced like heck-ah-tee] was the Greek goddess of witchcraft, magic, and necromancy. She became closely associated with perceived witchcraft during the Inquisition and was regarded by the church as a form of Satan. The Falx is a curved sword originally from Thrace, but adopted by the Roman Army.)

Mephistopheles' Xyston (Mephistopheles is the name of Satan in the opera Faust. The xyston is a Greek spear, lacking an impaling guard [the cross that prevents the spear from going all the way through. The lack of a guard increases the chances of the spear getting stuck], with a smaller, metal stabbing end on the opposite end so that it can be used as a double-sided weapon if necessary)

Iblis' Staff (Iblis is yet another name for the Devil. In the Islamic version of the fall of Lucifer, the angel is named Iblis instead of Lucifer. I just like the way the word Iblis flows into Staff.)

I was more partial to the Baalista, or maybe the Abaddagger. To each their own, I suppose.
