- killed by god Shiva: see Gajasurasamhara
- killed by Shiva and his head attached his elephant-headed son and god of wisdom Ganesha: see Mythological_anecdotes_of_Ganesha#Shiva_and_Gajasura
- Gajamukhasura, defeated, and turned into a rat and made into a vahana (vehicle) by Ganesha
- killed by Rudras
