The Hell gladiator is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Hell gladiators are red skeletal monsters that wield weapons in each of their four hands with deadly precision. They wield curved sabres in their lower hands, spiked iron clubs in their upper left hands, and short hatchets in their upper right hands. They are able to act twice per turn, putting opponents to sleep or paralysing them with their noxious breath before performing violent slashing attacks.
