Malicious

Malicious, also known as the Gazer of Death, is a bird-like Demon enemy with a spherical lower half. Malicious are known to steal the names of various other Demons to trick Umbra Witches into making contracts with them without knowing who they really are. In battle, Malicious acts like a Shaman and uses his magic to power up the other Demons fighting by his side.

Bayonetta 2
Like Enrapture, Malicious act as the mages of the demonic army but unlike them they have a life bar making them more resistant. They can enrage other Demons to make them more tricky to fight. Malicious can also directly attack with their wings or create demonic portals to hold Bayonetta in place. They can also use the crescent blade on its back as a boomerang, fire their feathers as homing missiles or even purple magical projectiles.

Lemegeton's Guidebook
""A master occultist of Inferno who is the embodiment of malice. Stealing various names from different creatures in hell, Malicious is just one name by which he is known.

Inexperienced witches will unwittingly summon Malicious and make a contract with him before knowing his true identity or appearance.

No matter how kind or courteous Malicious may act, he is not to be trusted under any circumstances. He is a shaman of hell who finds his greatest delight in deceiving and betraying others, trapping them in regret and hopelessness."
