Fauster

Fauster is the first of the many bosses that Toad faces in Game B of the Round Game mode in the Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game Wario's Woods. His boss battle takes place in the ninth round of the Game B mode. He is a purple, bat-winged, simian-like creature in red jester-like clothes who wields a trident. Akuman has the ability to eliminate all bombs on-screen. Like the other bosses in the game, he is also able re-locate himself to different positions of the battlefield. If he re-materializes on Toad, Toad will be instantly defeated. He is also capable of summoning and throwing enemies around the stage.

In the Japanese version, Fauster is named Akuman (アクマン), which is derived from akuma, the Japanese word for devil, or demon, and one is depicted with one or more of these features: humanoid-like body, bat wings, and a trident. This makes Akuman a serviceable Japanese devil. Much like the other bosses in the game, his affiliations to Wario are unknown (other than to provide support in stopping Toad from saving the Peaceful Forest and the Mushroom Kingdom).
