Well, I dare say that you are the first person to uncover this sprite and assemble it, that is why I asked.

I would of asked regardless.

good point, but sadly yesterday at night i've been looking around the net about this boss and i found out that i wasn't the first in discovering it, there where others who found it before me but they mostly talked about it or showed little parts of it.
so i may not be the first on discovering this boss in the end, but at least i'm the first at showing it to the general public, with every single sprite possible it had in the data(well there is more, but it's mostly a litlle doodle and a briefcase sprite i think).
so don't worry, no need for credits.

Cool man that is neat stuff. Hey, feel free to find anything else hidden like this in the data from Rondo and post it!

Makes me wonder if there are more?

Oh wow, these games still have really cool secrets to uncover. That's really awesome that was just hiding out in there.

Makes you wonder why it didn't make it into DXC in some form.

OK...
brought more unused stuff from RoB, only problem was that most of them i needed to rip it with yy-chr tile viewer because mednafen's debugger only lets me see what's in memory, so basically no palettes, only grayscale for now.

interesting things i found where:
1)jumping kid
2)briefcase
3)tiny stage title, candles and recovery items
4)stage boss announcement(only for death)
and 5)what seems to be subweapon icons similar to maria's, only the turtle is the same(left her subweapon icons for comparison).
that's all folks.

The Japanese scripts translates to "Gods give me your strength".

Which would translate in Latin into something like "Tues Deus Meus, In Manibus Tuis". Everything is related!!

OMG! You are right.
They really thought about these things as well. Awesome.

The head reminds me of the new Hydra boss from Alternate Stage 5 from The Dracula X Chronicles.
If you recall, the Rondo of Blood version of that stage has no boss.

I imagine this boss to have been something you'd have to climb on, based on its staircase-like backside. I am willing to bet it has a serpentine segmented neck section and probably a few walking frames here and there.

I saw this posted elsewhere and I commented the same thing. Great minds and all that.

Ironically Jop's friend just showed that to me and him the other day..unused boss from rondo. I think it's body is pretty neat.. It looks sorta like a turtle head imo. hm..wonder why they never used it?

on second inspection...looks to be a giant aguana or something..maybe the red line was supposed to be its' tongue..and not a lazer from it's eye. The sprite jop showed me had that..but it was the same beast..

that was an early rip i did before, and i tought it was it's eye laser, that was until i discovered the mouth effect for that beam.

Yes sorry about the confusion here, FlyingMudBlock is a good friend and showed me that, I think he is not going to show so I showed to you the old rip, with the laser in the mouth looks better.
