Powers: Azunbulxibar presumably possesses superhuman strength and durability, but the extent of these is unrevealed. He is believed to be highly skilled at both armed and unarmed combat. In addition, he has access to powerful weaponry, although it is unclear whether these are powered by technology, magic, or a combination of the two. An example of this is the Hyper-Ram, which appears to be a medieval style ram, but is capable of apply sufficient force to traumatize a force field designed to repel meteors. He was immune to Starfox's psionic attempt to mellow him out because, as Starfox put it, "he's never had an unhostile thought in his life."

History: Azunbulxibar is the leader of an extra-dimensional warriors. He refers to himself as the "Divine" Azunbulxibar, indicating he is at least worshiped as, if not in fact, some form of deity to his people. He has conquered his entire world and has had dreams telling him to conquer others as well.

   An accident aboard an interstellar ship, the Principle of Reasonable Interest, in the Earth dimension caused a Dimensional Randomizer to open a portal to Azunbulxibar's realm. Seizing the opportunity, he led a squadron of warriors aboard the starship, slaughtering the crew. The ship's captain succeeded in trapping the warriors in a hold portal, containing them with a meteor shield, although the effort cost him his own life. The only survivor on the ship was an Aakon accountant named Aalbort.

   The interstellar adventurer, Starfox, along with his companion, Heater Delight, came across the ship, which was dead in space, and decided to investigate. They encountered Aalbort, who explained the situation to them. Starfox's efforts to use his pleasure power to calm the warriors was a failure, and their attacks threatened to break the meteor shield. Starfox then had a discussion with Azunbulxibar himself, and convinced him by looking out a ship portal into outer space that the only life and matter in this dimension was aboard the ship, and that only emptiness existed without. This was disheartening to Azunbulxibar, who sought further conquest. Starfox convinced Azunbulxibar that he could send him to a world where he could battle to his heart's content, and sent he and his squad of warriors to a world where an army of warriors stood ready. It wasn't until after Azunbulxibar and his squad were through and the Randomizer had been deactivated that Quasar revealed he was sending them back to their own planet, and the warriors they saw were their own.
