| 15 | Count Dracula's [[{{Dhampir}} half-breed]] son who opposes his father to protect humanity. To that end, [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse he fought alongside Trevor Belmont during his adventure through Wallachia in 1476]], and [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight later re-emerged in the 17th century to investigate the disappearance of Richter Belmont]]. Alucard comes to the battle armed with his heirloom sword and shield, as well as his numerous vampiric spells and powers. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * HomingProjectile: Alucard's Tetra Spirit spell summons three ghostly orbs that seek out his enemies. |
| 18 | * FlashStep: As usual, Alucard is capable of performing a quick teleport to [[BackStab attack his enemy from behind]] with his Alucard Sword, after which he returns to where he started. |
| 19 | * LifeDrain: As a half-vampire, draining the life of his enemies to sustain his own comes naturally to Alucard. He can do it in two ways — either by activating his Dark Metamorphosis, which grants health-draining potential to most of his attacks, or by attacking with his Muramasa, which is capable of draining life even without Dark Metamorphosis. |
| 20 | * LimitBreak: While he can't use the cross as one of his normal subweapons, he is nonetheless capable of executing its Item Crash, just like in ''Symphony of the Night''. |
| 21 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Alucard Shield is capable of effortlessly blocking most projectile attacks. |
| 22 | * PlayingWithFire: Alucard is capable of casting his father's trademark Hellfire and Dark Inferno spells, complete with teleport. He can even aim them up and down in this incarnation. |
| 23 | * RammingAlwaysWorks: Alucard can viciously body-slam enemies as either a bat or a wolf. |
| 24 | * SpamAttack: Surprisingly, ''not'' the Crissaegrim. Instead, Alucard has brought the Muramasa as a special move that, when executed, causes him to rapidly slash at whatever's in front of him, draining the foe's life if he connects. |
| 25 | * SuperMode: Dark Metamorphosis is a downplayed example. Activating it causes Alucard's attack power to increase, as well as giving most of his attacks a LifeDrain effect for the cost of a small amount of magic power per second. The effects aren't as dramatic as most characters' transformations, but it helps him sustain longer in fights. |
| 26 | * VoluntaryShapeShifting: As expected from his heritage, Alucard can transform into a bat (for flight and maneuverability), mist (to swiftly evade attacks), and a wolf (for vicious lunging strikes). |
| 27 | * YourSoulIsMine: Upon defeating a boss, Alucard will automatically activate Soul Steal to consume their spirit, giving his stats a small boost. |

| 38 | The most famous of the Belmonts after Simon, Richter Belmont was the Belmont who faced Dracula in the 1800s. He was the most powerful Belmont up to that point, with the ability to super-charge the mystic subweapons (a power that would come to be known as the Item Crash) and engulf his whip in flames. Of course, Dracula made the grievous mistake of making the feud personal for Richter by kidnapping four women from his home village, including his betrothed, Anette, and her adopted sister, Maria Renard. It hardly came as a surprise when [[RoaringRampageOfRescue Richter stormed Castlevania]] and whipped everything in his way into submission. Unfortunately, Dracula's right-hand man, Shaft, cast a spell that clouded Richter's mind, and in time, he came to see himself as worthless without Dracula around. He vanished without a word and established himself as the lord of Castlevania. It took the combined efforts of Maria and Alucard to bring Richter back to his senses, but none can say what became of him after that... |

| 55 | A mysterious Belmont whose adventures have not been documented. Nonetheless, he has been called to the time rift by Saint Germain. Hanz Belmont does not have his own character slot; instead, he is treated as an alternate palette of Richter Belmont. They share most of the same moves, though each has a few the other cannot perform, and their stats are very different from one another. |

Though friends with her, he steals Dominus and Shanoa's memories at the start of the game, and kidnaps the villagers of a nearby town.

He wanted to sacrifice himself in place of Shanoa, but he gets possessed by Dominus and was killed by Shanoa.

There, he regained his memory through his encounters with Soma Cruz, and challenged the youth to mortal combat upon discovering that he was in fact Dracula.

His adventure in the 16th century to defeat Count Dracula, as well as his subsequent adventure to gather Dracula's body parts, resurrect the Dark Lord, and kill him again to free himself from the Count's DyingCurse, are the stuff of legend.

| 229 | |
| 230 | The son of John Morris and grandson of [[Literature/{{Dracula}} Quincey Morris]], Jonathan Morris was tasked with [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin investigating and dealing with the rise of Castlevania in 1944]], fueled by UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. There, he and his partner, Charlotte Aulin, took on the vampire Victor Brauner, who sought to usurp Dracula and destroy humanity to avenge the deaths of his daughters during World War I. Fighting alongside Brauner were Stella and Loretta, the "reincarnations" of Brauner's daughters who were in truth the daughters of Eric Lecarde. Charlotte was able to free Stella and Loretta from their vampirism with the Sanctuary spell. With the sisters' help, Jonathan and Charlotte unlocked the Vampire Killer's power, then confronted and defeated Brauner, who was disposed of by Death after the battle. Jonathan and Charlotte proceeded to battle both Dracula and Death in a no-holds-barred tag-team battle, with Jonathan and Charlotte ultimately emerging victorious. Now Jonathan has once more been called upon to deal with Dracula. If only he would stop goofing off and take the situation seriously... |
| 231 | ---- |
| 232 | * [[spoiler:CastFromHitPoints: Attacking with the Vampire Killer while Jonathan is in Serious Mode will make him lose bits of health.]] |
| 233 | * [[spoiler:CoolSword: The Holy Claymore he uses in Serious Mode counts.]] |
| 234 | * DefendCommand: A guard move that halves all incoming damage, or when timed right can nullify a large portion of incoming damage. |
| 235 | * EdibleBludgeon: His Lollipop, Bowls of Curry and Cream Pies certainly count. |
| 236 | * EpicFlail: His Wrecking Ball counts... but then the chain breaks and it becomes a HyperDestructiveBouncingBall that can even hurt Jonathan. |
| 237 | * FartsOnFire: His Aura Blast attack gets followed up by a farting noise with Jonathan saying "Sorry" at the end. [[spoiler:The fart and the apology is omitted in Serious Mode.]] |
| 238 | * FightingClown: Jonathan's choice of weaponry is... unorthodox, to put it mildly. Seriously, who goes into battle armed with a lollipop, a teddy bear, paper airplanes, and pies?!? And yet he can somehow whup Dracula's best troops, and even Dracula himself, with this ridiculous arsenal. [[spoiler:Though, truth be told, Jonathan's got more conventional weapons up his sleeves, too. He just won't use them without some complicated prompting.]] |
| 239 | * HolyHandGrenade: The Cream Pie can deal [[LightEmUp this kind of damage]], which is odd considering that it did [[CastingAShadow the exact opposite]] in his home game. [[spoiler:As can the Holy Claymore, Holy Water, Cross, and Bible when prompted to go serious.]] |
| 240 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Who would enter a fight using Lollipops, Teddy Bears, Darts, Curry Bowls, Cream Pies, and Paper Airplanes as weapons!? |

| 243 | * LimitBreak: For his ultimate move, Jonathan summons his partner Charlotte, and they perform their Holy Lightning [[CombinationAttack Dual Crush]]. [[spoiler:If Jonathan's fighting seriously, he'll instead execute his current subweapon's Item Crash.]] |
| 244 | * JokeCharacter[=/=]LethalJokeCharacter: Due to being disliked by Serio, he was made to be this... but his normal moveset isn't without its various uses or benefits. For example, some of his moves grant him a good portion of invincibility frames, or deal more hits. |
| 245 | * PlayingWithFire: The Bowl of Curry deals fire damage, and the Paper Airplane (when it has the red guy on it) does the same. |

| 281 | Stella Lecarde is the older twin daughter to Eric Lecarde, one of the heroes who sought for and destroyed Dracula when he arose during World War 1. When Castlevania arose once more in World War 2, Eric left to destroy the Castle and whoever gave rise to it once more. Worrying for his safety, Stella and Loretta enter the castle despite his instructions not to do so. When they finally find him, however, he's on the cusp of death due to having been killed by the maniacal Brauner. Brauner, however, sees the sisters as the reincarnations of his deceased daughters, and forcibly turns them against their will, messing with their memories in the process. Luckily, Charlotte is able to cure them before they fully turn into Vampires. |

| 315 | A common enemy within Castlevania is often armor animated (or a corpse wearing the armor, it's never made clear) and wielding weapons to attack possible intruders. However, in some games, like ''Symphony of the Night'' or ''Portrait of Ruin'', it's possible to play as one of these Armors. In ''Symphony'', it was more of a joke armor that Alucard wore, but in ''Portrait of Ruin'', the Axe Armor got its own mode and menagerie of weapons to its own name. It was also one of the first characters to be playable in this game, too. |

| 350 | Nathan Graves is the Protagonist of ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCircleOfTheMoon'', and one of the vampire hunters who went to help destroy Dracula as he was being resurrected. Sadly, they arrived too late, and he was separated from his master, Morris, along with his comrade Hugh. As he goes throughout the castle, he finds that Hugh's old grudges (along with a dose of brainwashing from Dracula) have come to the front the more Nathan helps Hugh, and he ultimately has to fight his own friend before facing Dracula. Thankfully, he still manages to vanquish Dracula in the end. |
| 351 | |
| 352 | Nathan is somewhat unique compared to the other protagonists in ''Castlevania'' in that he seems to lack any connection to the Belmonts, save for using a consecrated whip known as the Hunter Whip, as well as subweapons, to fight in a similar manner. |

| 375 | Hugh Baldwin is the son of Morris Baldwin, who helped seal Dracula years prior to the events of Circle of the Moon. This attack killed Nathan's parents, and as a result Nathan was raised and trained alongside Hugh. Despite the fact that Hugh had beaten Nathan at every task given to them as part of their training, he was astonished when his father presented Nathan with the Hunter's Whip and not him. This introduced a bit of a grudge within him, that only festered the more that Nathan was able to beat monsters that he couldn't. He was eventually brainwashed by Dracula using that resentment, and made to turn on Nathan. After being beaten however, he regains his senses and apologizes for it. |

| 397 | Juste Belmont is the protagonist of ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance''. Riding a bit on the accomplishments of his grandfather, Simon Belmont, he was trained from an early age to fight vampires, and had two good friends in the form of Maxim Kischine and Lydie Erlanger. His journey begins with Maxim's return from a two year training expedition, where he returned covered in wounds and suffering amnesia. He lead Juste to the Castle, claiming that Lydie was captured inside. As they explore the castle more and more, it becomes more apparent that Maxim has become possessed by Dracula, especially with the Castle being split into two portions representing Maxim's SplitPersonality. Eventually, Juste learns that Maxim-as-Dracula intended to use Lydie's lifeforce to obliterate Maxim's personality, but with the help of Dracula's Body parts, as well as the bracelets commemorating their friendship, he vanquished Dracula once more. |

| 417 | Juste Belmont's best friend and fierce rival who competed with him for the right to inherit the Vampire Killer. When Juste was chosen to inherit the whip, Maxim was filled with self-doubt, and set out to follow in Simon's footsteps by collecting the body parts of Dracula and resurrecting the Dark Lord in order to defeat him. This just led to Dracula possessing Maxim, who was only able to stave off the Count's full-fledged return by sealing Dracula within himself and suppressing his own memories of the incident, demoting Dracula to Maxim's SplitPersonality. This caused a dual Castlevania to emerge, and Maxim-as-Dracula abducted Lydie Erlanger, Juste Belmont's girlfriend, with the intention of using her lifeforce to obliterate Maxim's personality and restore himself once more. Maxim somehow stopped himself, hid Lydie away in the castle, and escaped, and then, lacking any memory of his own actions, [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance proceeded to bring Juste to Castlevania to investigate Lydie's disappearance]]. As the two friends investigated, Maxim's evil side steadily took control. Ultimately, Juste confronted Maxim in the center of the castle, then used Dracula's body parts and two bracelets commemorating their friendship to exorcise Dracula's spirit from Maxim. Juste defeated the Count and rescued his friends from Dracula's lair. Now Saint Germain has given Maxim a chance to make up for his earlier mistakes by facing Dracula for real. |
| 418 | ---- |
| 419 | * DoppelgangerAttack: Maxim has three moves like this. One involves him conjuring a single duplicate to flank the enemy and attack in tandem, increasing the MP costs of his other attacks and steadily draining his MP while in use, but effectively doubling his attack power. The second is to summon an army of duplicates and send them flying in all directions, tearing through everything in their way for several seconds. The third, which is his LimitBreak, is to split into two and relentlessly attack everything on screen, leaving afterimages in their wake. |
| 420 | * HealThyself: Maxim has a healing rain spell that he can use to restore his own HP. Not only that, he can also use it to heal his partner in co-op. |

| 423 | * SpamAttack: Maxim has two moves like this. One is a flurry of rapid-fire stabs. The other is his massive DoppelgangerAttack. |
| 424 | * UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Maxim can initiate a continuous roll from midair. He can't be hurt while he continues to roll, but the technique steadily drains MP. |

A young descendant of the Belnades Clan, when Dracula arose in the events of ''Legacy of Darkness'', she was one of the few people who rose to the challenge of vanquishing him after his forces killed her stepmother, who sacrificed her life to save Carrie. During her travels, she also fights against the witch Actrise, who tries to force Carrie to sacrifice her life for Dracula and later shows how she gained eternal youth by sacrificing 100 children in Dracula's name, including her own daughter. Carrie, ultimately disgusted with Actrise's actions and Dracula's mercilessness, dispatches them both. |

| 541 | |
| 542 | One of the four heroes in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse''. Grant [=DaNasty=] was a pirate who, when learning Dracula killed his family, had tried to take him on. He was beaten and turned into a monster to guard the clocktower, but Trevor beat the curse out of him and turned him back to normal, recruiting him to fight Dracula with him. After Dracula was successfully killed, Grant devoted his efforts to help rebuild Wallachia. He too was summoned with the cast of heroes to help fight Dracula. |
| 543 | ---- |
| 544 | * FragileSpeedster: He has great mobility and deals little damage per attack (making up for that shortcoming [[DeathOfAThousandCuts via sheer quantity]]), but he has lower overall starting health as well. |
| 545 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: More like Pirate Ninja Vampire Hunter. |
| 546 | * RingsOfDeath: He also throws a Chakram as part of his arsenal. |
| 547 | * StormOfBlades: His dagger crash throws a hefty amount of homing daggers downwards. |
| 548 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Despite being practically forgotten by the mainstream ''Castlevania'' games, Grant (like Sonia) had gotten his own sprites here and is even playable. |
| 549 | * WallCrawl: His unique ability. |

| 555 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidVincent (Engligh, regular), Creator/StephanieSheh (English, young) |
| 556 | |
| 557 | A nobleman from Spain who, after losing his fiancee to the vampiress Elizabeth Bartley, [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaBloodlines joined with John Morris to take down the countess and stop her plans to resurrect Dracula]]. He would later come to guard over the Vampire Killer [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin until his death at the hands of Brauner]]. Eric appears in this game in both his regular form, as well as his [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment younger form from a rift in time.]] |
| 558 | ---- |
| 559 | * FakeShemp: ''Bloodlines'' Eric's voice clips actually come from Richter's appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''. |
| 560 | * GlassCannon: ''Judgment'' Eric is fairly frail in terms of HP, as to be expected of a child, but he makes up for this with heavier hits, more subweapons, and powerful charge attacks. |
| 561 | * LightningBruiser: He has a pretty sizeable health pool, is rather acrobatic, and can pretty quickly rack up damage with his combos. |
| 562 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: ''Bloodlines'' Eric has a unique charge ability that allows him to build up power in the Alucard Spear, allowing him to enhance his specials with them. Meanwhile ''Judgment'' Eric lacks any sort of air dash manuever, but makes up for that with an extremely powerful upward vault. |

| 565 | [[folder:Dario Bossi]] |
| 566 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/08_dariobossi.png]] |
| 567 | -> '''Primary Weapon:''' Fists |
| 568 | -> '''Secondary Weapon:''' Pyromancy |
| 569 | -> '''Subweapons:''' Pistols, Grenade, Shotgun |
| 570 | -> '''Voiced by:''' Takahiro Fujimoto |
| 571 | |
| 572 | A man with inflammatory powers. He is one of the dark lord's candidates. While Dario was just a boss for a good portion of the game's history, he was eventually PromotedToPlayable. |
| 573 | ---- |
| 574 | * AchillesHeel: Most of his special moves and heavy damage capabilities revolve around fire. Ironically, this ends up meaning that his boss version and Aguni will probably be the fights he struggles the most with, due to their immunity to fire. |
| 575 | * CastFromHitPoints: Dario can spend 50 of his HP to enhance his Pyrokinesis, giving him the ability to do more damage, upgrade his special moves, and burn enemies with hits. |
| 576 | * CloseRangeCombatant: His normal attack is fairly stubby, and while it can be enhanced to have more range, it still works best up close. His grenade and shotgun are also fairly short-range, and while his pistols and specials do have bigger reach, they eat through his MP pretty quickly, making it important that Dario eventually gets up close and personal. |
| 577 | * DamageOverTime: Part of the reason he deals such high damage is that his fire attacks inflict burns on his opponent, which slowly whittle away their HP. In his enhanced state, all his attacks will deal this, and the effect lingers for a pretty long time. |
| 578 | * DiscardAndDraw: Doesn't have the fire immunity that his boss form has, but he does get his own unique set of subweapons to make up for that |
| 579 | * GlassCannon: He can deal some pretty ludicrous amounts of damage, but he has to spend HP to do so, and his starting HP is rather small, so he has to be careful not to take too many hits. |
| 580 | * GroundWave: Slamming his fist on the ground, he can send a wave of fire at opponents. In his enhanced state, the wave wraps back around to deal some extra damage too. |
| 581 | * GunsAkimbo: His default subweapon is a pair of pistols that deal rapid fire damage over long range, at the cost of being significantly costly to his MP. |
| 582 | * PlayingWithFire: Dario's main characteristic. |
| 583 | * ShotgunsAreJustBetter: One of his subweapons is a shotgun. While it has less range than his pistols, it costs him less MP to fire and does some pretty good damage. |
| 584 | * WreathedinFlames: Dario can do this to himself as one of his special moves. This has some very good anti-air coverage, and it gives him some temporary invulnerability. |

| 591 | |
| 592 | Much like Axe Armor, the Spear Guard is a common enemy in the world of Castlevania, taking the appearance of an animated suit of armor wielding a large spear. It's unknown how this particular mook got involved in the fray, but that won't stop it from lancing through anything and everything in its way. |
| 593 | ---- |
| 594 | * FakeShemp: His voice clips come from Death's ''Judgment'' appearance. |
| 595 | * JavelinThrower: Tosses his spear like a javelin, which works as his equivalent of subweapons. |
| 596 | * WeaponTwirling: His Special Action involves rapidly spinning his spear for as long as he has MP left, letting him deal rapid-fire damage and destroy incoming projectile attacks. He can also jump around while twirling the spear. |
| 597 | * WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: No subweapons or anything. Just a spear. And he'll get the job done just fine with that, showing mastery of the weapon. |

She also acts as the chief "incident resolver" in Gensokyo alongside her friendly rival Marisa Kirisame. She apparently attracted the attention of Saint Germain when she resolved an incident in which the vampire Remilia Scarlet summoned a demonic castle in order to... [-[[DisappointedByTheMotive organize a treasure hunt...]]-] Okay, Gensokyo may not have been in any real danger, but Reimu had a hell of a time fighting her way through the castle, and the mettle she demonstrated during that incident was apparently enough for the guardians of time to consider her worthy of challenging Count Dracula. |

Sakuya is the most loyal servant of the vampire Remilia Scarlet, a vampire who claims to be the descendant of Count Dracula (but she's probably lying). As such, Sakuya spends most of her time keeping the manor clean and chasing unwelcome guests away, as well as stabbing said unwelcome guests in numerous places if they don't take the hint and '''scram'''. When Remilia summoned the mysterious castle for a second time, without Sakuya's knowledge, Sakuya, worried about her mistress, took it upon herself to investigate. She found that Remilia was under the control of the boundary youkai Yukari Yakumo, who was trying to gather fighting energy to... [-awaken a cherry tree...-] Look, this cherry tree was really, really bad news, okay? [[ItMakesSenseInContext Take our word for it, this was a very bad thing!]] Much like Reimu's earlier adventure, Sakuya's efforts to rescue Remilia attracted the attention of Saint Germain, who called upon her to defeat the dangerous Count Dracula. |

| 783 | * DevelopersForesight: Later updates after Serio's departure from development made Dario into a playable character. The boss version has a specific palette to make it easier to tell who's who during a MirrorMatch. |
| 784 | * PlayingWithFire: It's Dario. This is pretty much his trademark. |
| 785 | * NoSell: He's got an immunity to damage from fire attacks, so you can't fight fire with fire in his case. |

| 795 | ---- |
| 796 | * BreathWeapon: Aguni can breathe fire in a steady stream... and it's probably Aguni's ''least'' dangerous attack. Sure, it comes out quickly and can hit you repeatedly for massive damage if you get caught in it, but it doesn't reach very far and Aguni doesn't move while using it, letting you throw subweapons at him with impunity. |
| 797 | * CollisionDamage: Surprisingly, this is averted unless Aguni is in the middle of performing one of its diving or swooping attacks. Which is a small mercy, considering how relentless it is. |
| 798 | * DynamicEntry: Aguni enters the battlefield by trying to dive on top of you the ''instant'' the battle begins. Move quickly or you're going to start at a huge disadvantage. |
| 799 | * GoodOldFisticuffs: Okay, it might not quite be "fisticuffs", but Aguni's most basic attack is to chase you around while repeatedly trying to swat you with its claws. |
| 800 | * LightningBruiser: Aguni hits hard and moves ''very'' quickly. |
| 801 | * NoSell: Don't try to attack it with fire attacks. That just heals it. |
| 802 | * PlayingWithFire: Again, it's a fire demon. What did you expect it to attack with, ice?!? |
| 803 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Aguni serves as step up in the boss strength tier after the introductory opponents, with hard hitting moves, a decent sized health bar, special immunities, and being fairly tricky to reach. As such, the fight with it can be considered the point where the challenge really begins. |

| 821 | A powerful armored soldier given the task of guarding the castle's key spots. |

| 823 | * AdvancingBossOfDoom: Its basic strategy tends to be to keep approaching until you have little room to maneuver, in order to make the most of its slow attacks. Unless you have an attack with invincibility frames, you're not going to be able to get past this guy until you kill it. |
| 824 | * AnimatedArmor: Of the possessed type. |

| 827 | * MightyGlacier: Its attacks are pretty slow and easy to predict. It makes up for this by using the fairly claustrophobic battleground it fights in to its advantage. |
| 828 | * StoneWall: Physical attacks deal very little damage, and it has a shield to block anything that doesn't hit the very top or bottom of him. On Hard and Nightmare difficulty, it will often assume a defensive position (usually in response to an Item crash) that completely shields it from damage. |

| 1039 | * DeadlyGas: Gergoth can expel a poisonous mist from its chest. You can repel it by repeatedly attacking it, but it's much better to just get away. It also can expel mist that can petrify or curse. |

| 1162 | * {{BFS}}: Has one that assists him as a familiar during the second face of his boss fight. |
| 1163 | * DamageSpongeBoss: His second form has over ''6000'' HP, easily the highest unmodified HP total in the game. |

| 1165 | * SequentialBoss: A two phase boss fight, first in regular form, then and second in OneWingedAngel form. |

| 1167 | * TrueFinalBoss: If you manage to defeat Dracula while having a rosary in your inventory, but don't use it, Soma will teleport you away to challenge him. |
| 1168 | * TurnsRed: Once you get his first form down to half HP, he summons a dark aura around himself and hits a lot harder. |

| 1180 | ---- |
| 1181 | * BeamSpam: You didn't think a ''Touhou'' boss was going to go light on the projectiles now, did you? |
| 1182 | * JavelinThrower: One of her more powerful attacks has her toss Gungnir around a few times in a random direction, leaving not only the spear to avoid, but a flurry of lasers that appear from its trail. |
| 1183 | * LifeDrain: Like Dracula and Brauner, she has a special move that allows her to grab her opponent and suck out some HP. |
| 1184 | * OptionalBoss: She can only be faced in Survival Mode. |
