- For anthropomorphic carnivores, see Werebeast.
Castlevania features a variety of demonic, four-legged carnivores, such as predatory cats, dogs, or wolves. Many of these creatures can run fast, possibly switching direction, and use charging, biting, or clawing as their main methods of attack.
General information[]
Some of these carnivorous beasts possess mystical powers, such as the ability to breath fire (Cerberus and Hellhound), turn into stone (Stone Dog), return from the dead (Zombie Dog), dissolve into indestructible liquid, or charge through the air.
Some are mythical beasts (such as the three headed Cerberus, the Hellhound, and the giant wolf, Warg), while others are just fantastical or undead versions of real animals. Some are accompanied by their owners (Dead Mate), or are mounted by riders (Warg Rider). Some carnivores do not appear as enemies in their own right, or maybe can be used or summoned by the player.
When a witch is defeated, she often turns into a small domestic cat and runs toward the player, and then away. This cat can still cause minor damage or be killed.
Maria and Soma can use a Cat as a sub-weapon, which takes the form of a white tiger when used as an Item Crash.
Alucard can take the form of a wolf.
The Black Dog appears on a DSS card that can be used by Nathan Graves, and it can be summoned when combined with the Uranus Card.
The lion, Buer, actually has five legs and moves in a different manner than the other carnivores.
