Boss: Ashii
Hit Points	19
Fought at	Flourishing Desert
First appearance	Densetsu no Starfy 4
Latest appearance	Densetsu no Starfy 4

Ashii is the sixth boss of Densetsu no Starfy 4. He rides on a magic carpet and wears a large blue, red-striped hat with an orb at its center. He attacks with enemies and sandstorms, and often hides in pots. He apparently likes cute girls, as he kidnaps Starly in the game. He protects himself with a barrier of sand, which must be removed in order for Starfy to attack him, by making him dizzy first.

Attack patterns

In the boss battle with Ashii, he protects himself using a barrier of sand and this must be broken in order for Starfy to be able to attack him. One of Ashii's attacks involves throwing small red spiky enemies shaped like the sun at Starfy which immediately explodes into four skull and crossbone like enemies which deal 10 health points to Starfy if he touches one, however they can easily be avoided or defeated using a Star Spin. Another one of his attacks involves creating one rolling giant red spiky sun from the red orb on his hat, or two if he is one low health points. The large red suns will eventually stop rolling and turn blue, shrink and vanish. Starfy will lose 13 health points if he touches one while it is still red.

Ashii's main attack involves bringing up two pots or three/four at lower health-points and then vanishing and hiding inside one of the pots. Ashii will then shuffle the pots around and wait for Starfy to choose the right pot which he is hiding in. If Starfy fails to select the right one, the pots will fall down from the air and make Starfy turn dizzy for a few seconds after they hit the ground. When Ashii creates four pots, he will also create two large carpets at both sides of the screen, presumably just to confuse the player. If Starfy performs a Star Spin on the right pot, Ashii will turn dizzy and is vulnerable to Starfy's attacks for a while until he puts another barrier of sand back up.

Ashii has a final attack, which he will only start using at lower health-points. This attack involves Ashii starting a sandstorm and a large sand-stream, or two sand-streams at even lower health points. When the sandstorm is in effect, spiky obstacles will fly across the area, which cause Starfy to lose 10 health-points if he touches one. The sandstorm must be stopped by breaking the sand-stream(s) by using 5 Star spins on each one.

Trivia

• Ashii always appears to be chewing something, and in fact never stops chewing. This may suggest a play on the phrase "chewing one's cud", which can mean meditating or pondering.
