Ubik

Ubik is a villain in ''Berserk. ''He has the form of a small floating demon wearing glasses and having tentacle-like legs. Ubik appears to be a deceiver; he is able to conjure up images from the past to persuade potential Apostles and God Hands to fulfill the ritual of sacrifice. It is he who convinced Griffith to continue walking towards his dream as a demon. On an interesting note, in one panel in chapter 306, Ubik is seen surrounded by many images taken from the "Hell" panel of an actual painting named "The Garden of Earthly Delights." Both the panel and the painting depict many fantastic yet disturbing visions that could represent Ubik's nature and purpose, one of the more interesting things being the giant tree man he rides in, believed by many to symbolize the Antichrist (a similar figure Ubik could very well have made Griffith into.) His name is borrowed from Philip K. Dick's Ubik.
