Vrika

Vrika was the son of Panchala king Drupada, brother of Shikhandin, Dhrishtadyumna, and Draupadi. On the 12th day of war, he fought against Drona together with his brother Satyajit, and was killed by Drona.

Then the mighty Vrika, excited with great wrath, pierced Drona in the centre of the chest with sixty arrows. That feat seemed highly wonderful., Then that mighty car-warrior, viz., Drona, of great impetuosity, covered with the arrowy showers (of his foes) opened his eyes wide and mustered all his energy. Then cutting off the bows of both Satyajit and Vrika, Drona, with six shafts slew Vrika with his charioteer and steeds.
