The name Rashaverak refers to both a species and an individual monster, both demonic dragons and the former one of Psaro's four servants who maintain the barrier surrounding Castle Nadiria. Subsequent appearances are as regular (albeit vicious) enemies in the end-stages of games.
Rashaverak is a powerful purple bipedal dragon with a large belly that only stalk lands that are covered in pitch black darkness. The underside of its body is light yellow while the webbing on its wings and frills on its head are orange. It has a jaw lined with sharp teeth and it has solid, evil-looking eyes. In its original appearance and the first two Monsters games, Rashaverak had grey skin with light blue undersides and webbing. They attack by swiping at foes with their long, powerful tails or by belching blistering bellows of burning fire and summon striking winds to wrack at foes, along with crushing groups with cracking ice. They frequently call in allies, such as Healslimes, to help them out in battle.
Rashaverak is one of Psaro's top generals and guards one of the four barriers surrounding Castle Nadiria. He is triplicated when he appears, and can summon more of his species in battle if the original ones are defeated. They attack with superheated gases, though the power of these attacks can be greatly reduced with Insulatle. His dialogue as he dies indicates that Rashaverak is loyal to Psaro, unlike many ofhis hellish peers.
