Guardian Giants of Thailand Part 5: Virucamban

Description on Viruncamban: He is a demon commander with a dark blue colored face, grounded mouth, crocodile eyes, and wears a cocktail shaped crown. He can transform his cape into his own image and become invisible. The prominence is when he concealed himself beneath the ocean bed to hide from Hanuman.

He along with his close friend Satasoon elected to fight on Tosakanth's behalf, after the Demon King's meditation was ruined. After witnessing Satasoon's death in the hands of Hanuman, Viruncamban rendered himself and his army invisible and then darkened the sky to facilitate his furtive escape, while his false image (formed by his cape) tirelessly fought. Under the suggestion of a celestial maiden named Wanarin, Viruncamban concealed himself beneath the ocean bed near Mount Akatkiree. 

 

Meanwhile, Pipek saw through Viruncamban's trickery and told Rama to ignore the false image. Rama then dispatched Hanuman to track down the real Viruncamban. When Hanuman freed Wanarin from a curse and asked her about the whereabouts of Viruncamban, she replied that he was hiding somewheree in the ocean. He noticed one particular bubble in the ocean foam was conspicuously larger than the otehr bubbles, and did not move with the waves. Hanuman extended his tail to seek out the demon from under the sea, coiling itself around Viruncamban's body and brought his to the surface. After a violent fight, Hanuman held the demon by his feet, spun him around and threw him into a mountain, killing him.  Viruncambang's false image collapsed and reverted back into a cape with his death. Hanuman then celebrated his triumph with his new wife Wanarin, and returned to Rama's camp with the head of Viruncamban.
