The Great Reaper, known in Japan as Big Reaper (ビッグ死神 Biggu Shinigami), is a massive version of the normal Reaper, acting as the boss of an area known as the Reaper Fortress in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The Great Reaper is also the "Elder Reaper". The Elder Reaper is able to take the form of a regular Reaper to go throughout his domain. Also being able to transform back into the Great Reaper form. Upon taking this form, the Great Reaper towers above Pit and becomes much stronger. Because of its size, Pit will need to climb to the upper level of the arena where it's fought in order to attack its weak point: the Reaper's head. During the fight, the Great Reaper uses a wide variety of attacks depending on the level that Pit is located. It will primarily attack with its scythe when Pit is up higher, or try to crush him when at ground level. It can also summon Reapettes if Pit is hit with its ray that emits from his eyes. The Great Reaper serves as the boss of Chapter 4: The Reaper's Line of Sight.
