The Dragon Zombie is a recurrent boss or powerful enemy in the Castlevania series. It lost its magic, but has become mindlessly violent.

Description[]

The magically reanimated remains of a dragon. Dragon Zombies have appeared in varying amounts of decay thorough the games that comprise the Castlevania series, still being full of flesh (although in an advanced rotten state) in games such as Castlevania Legends and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, and more skeleton-like in Castlevania Chronicles and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

According to its description in Castlevania Legends, the Death Dragon –as it is referred to in that game– was slain by Count Dracula himself and then brought back as a living corpse to guard his castle.

Appearances[]

Castlevania Chronicles[]

The boss of the second level. Simon Belmont passes the dragon's remains while trekking through the Underground Aqueduct. It returns at the end to attack while Simon is stuck on a small raft. The dragon remains hovering on the right side of the screen, attacking in two ways: it will either tip the raft with its tail, or breathe fire at Simon. It can be avoided by remaining on the left side of the raft and constantly attacking its head.

— Description from the Castlevania Legends instruction booklet

This dragon was actually killed by Count Dracula himself and then granted it new life to be a part of his own army. The dragon is huge and only its front half is shown onscreen. Its fire-breathing ability is ever-present, but it chooses to spew individual flame blasts sporadically as it moves its head up and down between three possible positions to keep the player guessing while moving. It can also jump and crash its bulky body onto the ground, causing debris to fall from the ceiling to further disrupt Sonia Belmont's movements.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon[]

A pair of Dragon Zombies appear as the bosses of the Underground Gallery in Circle of the Moon. Both dragons lie on the ground, unable to move anymore due to their bodies being so bulky and in an advanced level of decay that they must resort to attack using only their heads. The left dragon attacks by spewing a series of fireballs in a spreading manner, while the right dragon attacks with aimed balls of energy; both attacks deal Fire damage. Both dragons have the ability to slam into the wall and cause debris to fall from the ceiling. When one dragon dies, the other will devour its companion's remains, regaining 300 HP in the process; however, doing so also leaves it open for attack while feeding, allowing the player to possibly deal even more damage than the health it regains.

Once both Dragon Zombies are defeated, the Heavy Ring can be obtained from the next room, which allows Nathan Graves to push wooden boxes out of the way and access new areas of the castle.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]

In this game, the Dragon Zombie is not a boss but a large, uncommon enemy. It can bite, jump forward, wail its tail at the player, and more importantly, either breath a large poisonous fume or shoot a large laser-like beam from its mouth, both which cover a large area of the room. An almost endless horde of Mummies usually spawn from the ground in areas where these monster dwell.

One can be encountered in the Buried Chamber, another in the Sandy Grave, and yet another one also makes an appearance in Boss Rush Mode (Course 1).
