La-Mulana/Characters


Humans

Lemeza Kosugi (ルエミーザ 小杉, ruemiiza kosugi)

Mr. Explorer himself, protagonist of the game.

Shorn Kosugi (ショーン 小杉, shoun kosugi)

Father of Lemeza. He sets of the game's plot by discovering the ruins.

  • Adventurer Archaeologist: A renowned one.
  • Archnemesis Dad: Taunted Lemeza into coming to the ruins, and basically waited for Lemeza to obtain the Treasure of Life before STEALING IT FROM HIS OWN SON.
  • Expy: Of Henry Jones, Sr.
  • The Unchosen One: His final message to you on his computer, which you find at the very heart of the ruins, says that he went through all of the same trials and traps you did and reached La Mulana's heart, but ultimately wasn't able to continue because he wasn't chosen by the four Sages.
  • Whip It Good

Elder Xelpud (ゼルプド長老, zerupudo chourou)

The elder of the village, and the guy who saves your game and generally chats to you.

  • Badass Grandpa/Hidden Badass: In the Wii version. Remember that one puzzle where you have to get Shorn's diary, involving that falling pillar? In the original, you use the time lantern. In the Wii version, you talk to Xelpud, and he literally comes down to that room in the ruins, JUMPS IN ITS FALLING PATH, AND THEN LIFTS IT UP FOR YOU TO GET PAST.
  • Bald of Awesome
  • Cloudcuckoolander/Talkative Loon: Rambles endlessly about the MSX in the PC version.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: "Xelpud" spelled backwards is "Duplex", one of the developers of the original game.

Mulbruk (ムーブルク, muuburuku)

A girl who lives in the Sun Shrine who offers advice on where to go or what to do. She only appears in the Wii Ware version.

  • Chekhov's Gunman: At the end, instead of escaping the ruins through the Guidance Gate entrance, Lemeza has to go talk to her. They both then run through an alternative exit.
  • Fan Service: There is some concept art of Mulbruk donning the "Treasure that must not be seen" the pictures can be found on Naramura's Twitter.
    • Beating the game with the "Treasure that must not be seen" on will let you see her donning it as well in game during the staff roll.

Sub-Bosses

Shu (蚩尤, shiyuu)

Nu Wa (女カ, joka)

  • Always Second Best: Like Tiamat, she tried to create life, but could not do better than the Mother.


Bosses

Amphisbaena (アンフィスバエナ, anfisubaena)

A gigantic snake with a head at both ends.

Sakit (サキト, sakito)

A giant who wished for The Mother not to return to the sky

  • Golem: All the giants are preserved as huge stone statues. Most of them can move depending on what the time of day is (it's a puzzle, you hit three stone lanterns to change the insignia so their all either star, sun or moon). Sakit can only be fought when the Moon is showing.
  • Knight Templar/Well-Intentioned Extremist: Wants Mother to remain on Earth and will fight anyone to the death over it.
  • Leitmotif: "Giants' Rage".
  • Regime Change: "Sakit took power into his hand", both figuratively and literally.
  • Rocket Punch: A variant in the original, literally in the Wii Ware version.
  • "Wake-Up Call" Boss: Oh boy, is he ever.
  • Won't Work On Me: In the original version, his giant stone body is flat out immune to all subweapons, forcing you to close to dangerously close range in order to attack him.

A gigantic frilled lizard.

Bahamut (バハムート, bahamuuto)

A giant blue fish with a head like a hippo.

Viy (ヴィー, vii)

An alien who's piloting a giant mechanical gunship.

Baphomet (バフォメット, bafometto)

A pagan deity mostly associated with witches.

Tiamat (ティアマト, tiamato)

A Lamia that can control the dimensions, and tried to obtain the secret of life.

  • Always Second Best: Attempted to outdo the Mother in creating life and failed.
  • Fan Disservice: In the first version of the game, her face becomes angry and distorted once she loses a certain amount of life.
  • Godiva Hair: Especially in the Wii Ware version.
  • Leitmotif: "Interstice of the Dimention".
  • Marathon Boss: Unless you use the knife combo trick.
  • Mythology Gag: The mantra to chant in Tiamat's area is "MARDUK", the mythological character that killed Tiamat according to legend.
  • Reality Warper: She changed the sides of her part of the ruins round. That's right: the Endless Corridor is actually the BACKSIDE AREA of the Dimensional Corridor.

The Mother (聖母, seibo)/Mother's Soul (魂の聖母, tamashii no seibo)

She's the creator of all Life, who is unable to get back to the sky. The entire plot of the game is to put her out of her misery.

The Boss (ザ・ボス, za bosu)

He is found in the Hell Temple, a big blue blob with eyes closed and a tongue sticking out that guards the last rooms.

  • Ascended Extra: In the Wii Ware version, the Boss uses an unused music that was never used in the original game: "Good Morning Mom".
