This's a Skywalker Sound sound effect cluster/combo, which includes the sound of fire blazing and hissing, a lion roaring, and SKYWALKER LASER BLAST SOUND (which contains a -12 pitch version of Sound Ideas, RICOCHET - CARTOON RICCO 03 combined with a droning hum) if you listen closely. It debuted in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) (in a higher pitch). Today, because of this sound effect exists in various pitches, which can be found on the Sony Pictures Sound Effects Library Volumes 6-10, it is possibly considered as an stock sound effect.
