Abyss

Abyss (アビス) is a character from the Soulcalibur series, making his first and only appearance in Soulcalibur III. He is one of the final bosses of the game, the other being Night Terror. Abyss is an alternate form of Zasalamel, created when Zasalamel attempts to achieve true death by absorbing both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur into his body. Abyss has a terrifying skeletal appearance with exposed muscles, invoking a reaper-like presence. The lower half of his torso is replaced by a black hole that constantly draws in energy. Abyss inherits Zasalamel’s abilities, enhanced by his transformation. He can manipulate the black hole to draw enemies in, use gravity to attack, and launch powerful energy projections. His weapon is the death scythe Irkalla, although it is not available for custom characters. Abyss's creation is not intentional on Zasalamel's part, leading to a loss of control over his actions, influenced by an unknown force. Although only appearing in Soulcalibur III, Zasalamel in Soulcalibur VI has a move called "Ingress of the Abyss", which is seen as a continuation of the Abyss form.
