Ghost Dancers are enemies in the Castlevania series. They are the spirits of nobles that dance endlessly with great elegance in aristocratic abandon.
Description
Edit
Dead nobles that dance together. Ghost Dancers first appeared in Super Castlevania IV, spinning around each other through walls and ceilings, possibly hitting the hero. These were essentially a paired version of the Dead Nobleman and Dead Noblewoman. A boss version of them, called the Dancing Spectres, also exists which waltz throughout the battle area while throwing rapiers. Additionally, they can draw out their own rapiers and charge through the air. In the US version, they are individually known as Paula Abghoul and Fred Askare.
Ghost Dancers reappeared in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. They generally bobbed up and down across long horizontal distances and then switched directions. In Dawn of Sorrow and later games, they again stop when they get to the end of their movement range to split apart. Killing one of the ghosts causes both of them to disappear. They are weak to Holy and resistant to striking, slashing, and freezing.

TriviaEdit
- In Super Castlevania IV, the Dancing Spectres bosses are named Fred Askare and Paula Abghoul. Their names are a reference to the late Fred Astaire and 80s' pop singing sensation Paula Abdul.
- In Lament of Innocence, there is a portrait of the Dancing Spectres in the Ghostly Theatre.
