Infernal Tyrant Nyandam

Infernal Tyrant Nyandam (大魔王ニャンダム, Daimaō Nyandamu, Great Demon King Nyandam) is an Aku variant of Dark Emperor Nyandam that appears in the Great Advent Stage Reign of the Tyrant.
==Enemy==
With some of the highest stats in the game, this enemy is truly devastating. His first hit essentially destroys everything he hits at normal range, and if that wasn't enough, he will hit the backlines with a 30% Toxic attack through his second and third hits. Combined with his immunities to knockback, weaken and surge effects, extreme health and three knockbacks, he can prove a nightmare even to the best prepared, especially when his support enters play.
He is not fully unbeatable, however. His second and third hits have two blind spots between 400-500 and 800-1000 respectively, so units within these areas are safe until he pushes. 30% Toxic is a big number, but may not impede you from sending more units to stall him.
==Strategy==
This enemy can be stalled just fine with Metal Macho or Jiangshi Cats. The actual issue is keeping an army alive to deal with his supporters. One of the best ways to do so involves using the Thunderbolt Cannon, Talented Li'l Dark Cat, Weedwacker Cat or Exorcist Cat. His animation is a bit short for a Nyandam variant and he is immune to knockback, so you will have to rely on Sniper the Cat or the default Cat Cannon to buy a bit of extra time. The approach will differ depending on other supporting enemies in the stage for an opportunity to freeze Nyandam and quickly remove him.
Alternatively, you may wish to exploit Infernal Tyrant Nyandam's blind spots and attack from range. Certain units, such as Manic King Dragon, can be slowly accumulated in the safe spots just in front of big hitters or stallers, forming a layered, last line of defence for when Infernal Tyrant Nyandam advances while helping out against the support. Notably good units (without going into stage specifics) include: Chronos, Shisilan Pasalan, Piccolan Pasalan (safe in the further blind spot), Summoner Satoru, Xmas Spirit Nurse, Goddess of Light Sirius and most attackers with range between 401 and 499, as long as they have enough speed to ignore some Toxic attacks or are immune anyways. Keep in mind that such units should not be used in hopes of defeating Infernal Tyrant Nyandam fast, but rather to aid the meatshields in stopping his advance and to clear his support as fast or as safely as possible.
Lastly, non-Uber rushdown attackers can be used to chip away at Infernal Tyrant Nyandam's health during the openings, with Bullet Train Cat being a good example for doing fair amounts of additional damage.

==Trivia==
*Based on how his Japanese name is Great Demon King Nyandam, this enemy appears to have been foreshadowed several times prior to his release.
**Dark Emperor Nyandam's Japanese description states he dyed his body Red in order to feel drunk, implying the existence of an earlier, non-Red form of Nyandam.
**Prince of Darkness's and Satan's Bedroom's Japanese names can be translated as "Demon King's Mansion" and "Demon King's Bedroom" respectively. The latter also shares its background with Infernal Tyrant 1. Furthermore, Dark Emperor Nyandam also appears in Dictator's Garden, the fifth stage in Prince of Darkness.
**Cat Clan Heroes' Japanese description states that their group was formed to defeat the Demon King. However, this so-called Demon King may instead refer to Lasvoss, another unit in the same set.
**Mystic Uril's description claims he sealed away the Demon King. The Japanese version clarifies that he ordered his cockatoo to say it, and as such the validity of this statement is questionable. It however may be also refer to Jagando, who was once sealed by great heroes.
**Possessed by Evil's Japanese name is Possessed by the Demon King, implying that Evil Emperor Cat is actually possessed by Nyandam.
**Sathankhamun VIII wears a blue Nyandam mask and his Japanese description associates him with the second coming of a Great Demon King.
*If the first seven Advent Bosses are the Seven Deadly Sins, then Infernal Tyrant Nyandam likely represents Satan himself. 魔王 (Maō, lit. "Demon King") can even be translated as "Satan" or "The Devil".
*Infernal Tyrant Nyandam's return is implied to be only temporary. His English description mentions him going on a blind date, whereas in Japanese, he was to appear in a marriage photo shoot.
*He has the highest attack power and DPS of all Aku enemies and Advent Bosses, has the highest maximum effective range of all Aku, and is tied with Aku Cyclone for the highest money drop of all Aku. He also has the highest HP of any enemy listed in the Enemy Guide.
*He has the second highest heath of all Aku enemies, only beaten by Malevolent Eraser Cat.
*Many of his stats contain the number 666, a number known as 'the number of the beast.'
