Dhumraksha

The two armies met and the sky was overcast with arrows, trees and rocks. Dhumraksha called out - Where are the hermits hiding? Come and face your death. You have come so far to die. Forget any hopes of getting back Sita.
A vanara said - You have eyes but are still blind. Else how can a mere mortal bridge the ocean. Vishnu has been born to put an end to the rakshashas.
Angry, Dhuraksha picked up a mace and started killing vanaras.
Hanumana saw the vanaras fleeing. He went and said to the rakshasa - Fight me, if you can.
Grabbing a huge boulder , Hanumana dashed it on the chariot of the demon, killing the charioteer and the horses.
Dhumraksha attacked Hanumana with his mace. The mace hit Hanumana and broke into pieces.
Hanuman slapped him, and the demon fell down.
Hanumana then started kicking him, and that killed the demon.

Seeing Dhumraksha fall, his army started fleeing. Some went to Ravana and told him about the fall of Dhumraksha.
