Red Thryssa

The Red Thryssa (붉은 바리, Bulg-eun Bari) is a fearsome creature that shares its name with a shinheuh known as one of the Tower's top predators.

History
Urek Mazino once discovered the Red Thryssa during his last visit to the Floor of Death. At that time it was still weak, however, Urek realised its power had properties similar to that of a guardian. At first, Mazino wondered what to do with it. Ultimately he decided to hand over that power to a person who would use it properly. Mazino encountered Hell Joe at one of the holes in the Floor of Death and entrusted Red Thryssa to Joe, with the request to use that power justly.

Powers and Abilities
The Red Thryssa's predatory abilities are so powerful that it can bypass the immortality spell cast on the 43rd Floor, enabling it to paralyse and then absorb the powers of Floor of Death inhabitants once it bites them. It has been likened as the natural enemy of Floor of Death inhabitants.

Having encountered Hell Joe on his previous trip to the 43rd Floor, he deemed Joe to be suitable to use its power and thus he acquired personal usage of its powers.

Urek Mazino said that this monster is born of the deceased 43rd Guardian's corpse, essentially being its 'child'. SIU commented that it is closer to a part of the dead Guardian, rather than its "cub"; it still remains incredibly powerful.
