Narasimha

**Narasimha** is a fierce avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu, one who incarnates in the form of part lion and part man to destroy evil and end religious persecution and calamity on Earth, thereby restoring Dharma.

## Description

Narasimha iconography shows him with a human torso and lower body, with a lion face and claws, typically with a demon Hiranyakashipu in his lap whom he is in the process of defeating. The demon is the powerful brother of evil Hiranyaksha who had been previously defeated by Vishnu, who hated Vishnu for defeating his brother. Hiranyakashipu gains special powers by which he could not be killed during the day or night, inside or outside the house, any place in the world i.e. neither in sky nor on land nor in heaven nor in pataala, by any weapon, and by man, god, asura or animal.

Endowed with new powers, Hiranyakashipu creates chaos, persecutes all devotees of Vishnu including his own son. Vishnu understands the demon's power, then creatively adapts into a mixed avatar that is neither man nor animal and kills the demon at the junction of day and night, inside and outside. Narasimha is known primarily as the 'Great Protector' who specifically defends and protects his devotees from evil. The most popular Narasimha mythology is the legend that protects his devotee Prahlada, and creatively destroys Prahlada's demonic father and tyrant Hiranyakashipu.

## Powers and Abilities

**Transcendent Hybrid Physiology:** This power grants Narasimha great levels of power by combining two or more transcendent dna of two or more species possibly including a race of gods. Since Narasimha is a transcendent hybrid being, Narasimha can control the abilities/capabilities/powers of the species/race/creatures they transcend but on a godly level. Theoretically, being a extraordinary powerful cyborg could also be considered as a transcendent hybrid, of technology and organic material.

**Beast Lordship:** Narasimha has absolute power and control over all beasts and animals, they have unlimited control and power over all manner of creatures ranging from the mundane (dogs, cats, turtles) to the most powerful and mythical (dragons, sphinxes, phoenixes). They control them to do their bidding like, help them during situations, use them against foes, use them to see locations and get information about a particular place, use them for flight. Some can see through the creatures' eyes that is controlled, allowing them to spy on others. Narasimha can also understand or communicate with them, hence creating and strengthening friendships. Narasimha's power transcends any potential limitations and resistance.

**Deity Soul:** Narasimha with this ability is not a god in a human body, rather their spiritual essence is divine or godlike in origin. Narasimha has supernatural abilities on a god-like level.
