Iguva=41


 * "I am the Lich serving the Supreme Being, Iguva. If you forfeit now, I will grant you a painless death."
 * - Iguva=41's declaration.

Iguva=41 (イグヴァ=41) was the field commander of the undead army that was sent to annihilate the lizardmen tribes but was instead defeated by them.

Appearance
Iguva=41 was a hideous undead magic caster that reeks of death and decay. He wore an old and luxurious robe that covered his body of skin and bones.

Personality
While Iguva=41 was very arrogant, he did not underestimate his foes. With complete and utter devotion to Ainz, he tried to do whatever it took to complete his creator's orders.

Background
Iguva=41 was a corpse that Ainz Ooal Gown turned into an Elder Lich as part of an experiment. He was part of the undead army commanded by Cocytus that was deployed to fight the lizardmen tribes.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
Eight days later at the beginning of the battle between the lizardmen and the undead, he is kept in reserve on Ainz's instruction. After the lizardmen destroyed the undead army, Cocytus, acting as the army commander, authorizes his deployment on the field. Upon ordering his Blood Meat Hulks to attack the three tribal chiefs who're protecting the lizardmen army's flank, he uses his powerful Fireball spell against the army's main force, forcing it to pull back. A suicide attack by five elite lizardmen Head Warriors only reaches halfway before being annihilated.

While so, a second attack is made by Zaryusu Shasha, Zenberu Gugu, and Crusch Lulu hiding behind Rororo. The hydra is protected by protective and healing spells plus the freezing ability of Frost Pain is finally brought down. However, it is not before he allows the three lizardmen heroes to reach striking distance of Iguva=41. The Lich summons four Skeleton Warriors to guard himself until they were eventually engaged by Zenberu Gugu and Crusch Lulu in battle. As a result, this allows Zaryusu Shasha the chance to face the undead magician one on one in close combat. After a drawn-out battle, the lizardman, battered by the Lich's spells, engages one last time with his Frost Pain's special ability, creating a thick cold fog, and half-blindly striking through it. That strike finally puts his sword through Iguva=41's head, ending him once and for all. Before finally dying, Iguva=41 begs his creator, Ainz Ooal Gown for forgiveness in failing to defeat the lizardmen.

Mass for the Dead Arc
When word reached Momonga about Six Arms conducting a large scale undead subjugation in the Katze Plains, he believed that the movements were related to Shalltear being mind-controlled by a third party. The information on the workers actions were acquired by a adventurer named Igvarge who's adventurer team had defeated a elder lich commanding a Ghost Ship. The adventurers were all killed when they defeated the elder lich. Interestingly Six Arms was seeking the elder lich as well, but not to kill it but to tame it. To find out what the workers from the Baharuth Empire were up to, Momonga recovered the Ghost Ship and used one of the discarded bodies of the adventurers to create a new elder lich he named Iguva=41.

Iguva=41's mission was to encounter the workers who were looking for the undead. His goal was to gain a seat in their inner circle and to learn all he could about their plans. In conjunction he would be assisted by Lupusregina Beta and CZ2I28 Delta going under the names of Regi and Shizuni. The duo would be recruited by Six Arms to complete their six member team.

Abilities and Powers
Iguva=41 is a level 22 magic caster. He is able to temporarily increase in size which boosts all of his stats, increasing his power to around level 30. As an undead, he was unaffected by Frost Pain's ice damage ability.

Iguva=41 believes he was a far superior creation compared to the automatically-spawning Elder Liches in the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

In the Web Novel, according to Ainz Ooal Gown, this commanding lich who led the Army of Death was the strongest undead monster he has created with his [Create Low Tier Undead] skill.

 * Negative Touch: Through physical contact, Iguva=41 uses his racial skill as shown by grabbing Zaryusu's throat. Thus, negative energy then flowed into his target's body, robbing the lizardman of his vitality.

Ainz Ooal Gown
As his personal creation, Iguva=41 has undying loyalty towards him and would die for him.

Cocytus
Iguva=41 served as Cocytus's commander during the attack on the Lizardmen.

Lizardmen Alliance
Iguva=41 saw them like insects that should be squashed for the glory of Nazarick.

Trivia

 * Iguva=41 was created by Ainz Ooal Gown to be used by Cocytus as his field commander.
 * While there is no clear indication in the novel that Iguva=41 was created from the corpse of Igvarge, in the illustration one side of Iguva=41's face is distorted and this can be inferred to be the hit Mare delivered to his head that even destroyed his helmet when trying to run from Ainz. Moreover, they share the same voice actors in the anime.
 * In the Web Novel, there is a lich that leads the attack on the lizardmen, though he is unnamed.
