Knights, also known as "Spear Guards" or "Armor Knights" are a basic enemy seen in many games from the Castlevania series.

Overview
Edit
A common sight in horror films, moving suits of armor are bound to terrify anyone. The Knight is no exception. A normally inanimate suit of armor, Knights patrol Dracula's castle, guarding it from any heroes that might try and slay the Dark Lord. They can be tricky sometimes as their defensive armor can withstand a couple of hits.
The basic type of knight is armed with a spear, poleaxe, or halberd. For a information on all types of armors, including those wielding other types of weapons, see Armors.
AttacksEdit
Originally, Knights, while armed with spears, simply moved back and forth on platforms, making a hero's progress more difficult. In other games, they moved with the spears pointing forwards. In Super Castlevania IV, the Knights that previously did not attack with their weapons showed off a new trick, where they extended and poked their spears upwards to try and stab heroes from one "level" down. Later, in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, they also began extending their spears downward. In addition to that, they also dashed forward to try and stab heroes in their way, went into a "guard" position whenever heroes came near them, and even pulled their spear back to try and hit the hero with a lunging slash attack.

Game Specific DetailsEdit
Castlevania II: Simon's QuestEdit
The knight in Simon's Quest moves differently than the one in the original Castlevania game. It moves with its spear extended forward.
Castlevania: The AdventureEdit
In this game, the Evil Knight appears as an armor in the background, until the player gets close. It then moves towards the player with the spear extended outward.
Castlevania II: Belmont's RevengeEdit
While the Evil Armor in Belmont's Revenge moves similar to a classic armor from the original Castlevania game, it's nature is somewhat different. It has no head (similar to Dullahan) and in its place is a fiery aura, emphasizing that this is a ghost that is inhabiting the armor's shell.
