The Succubus from Symphony of the Night is one of the most well known lady bat characters in the series.

The Succubus, Lilith, Lilim, Werebats, and some female vampires such as Lesser Vampires, can be either alluring or grotesque demonic bat-women that frequently appear in the Castlevania games (mainly in most recent titles). While their mythological backgrounds may vary, they are often palette swaps of each other. Some succubi are characters in their own right. Shanoa is also able to take the form of a Werebat.

Women turned to vampires by Dracula tend to take on the form of a bat, such as the Lesser Vampire in The Dracula X Chronicles and Draculina in Order of Ecclesia. Women turned into vampires by other vampires don't display bat features, such as Rosa and Carrie's Cousin (presumably turned by Gilles de Rais), or Stella and Loretta Lecarde (turned by Brauner). The only time one of the ancient female vampires (Carmilla and Elizabeth Bartley) are shown to possess bat-like features is Camilla's battle form in Circle of the Moon. A bat-woman referred to simply as "Vampire" is a boss in The Adventure ReBirth.

Appearances[]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[]

The Succubus first appeared in the Castlevania series in a dream sequence for Alucard in Symphony of the Night, where she takes the form of his mother, Lisa, as she's being executed under accusations of witchcraft.

Dracula's true form in this game contains a portion of the body of the Succubus.

The official artwork for the Succubus in Symphony of the Night, designed by Ayami Kojima, portrays her nude bust (like all 2D sprites in all games for Succubi, Lilith and Lilim). A censored version was included as unlockable artwork in Castlevania Chronicles. The model of the Succubus NECA action figure contains extra fabric that covers her bust.

Symphony of the Night (LCD handheld)[]

An enemy that resembles Fake Sypha is possibly mislabeled as "Succubus" in the Tiger Electronics handheld version of Symphony of the Night. This may be because official artwork exists for the Succubus but not for Fake Sypha (a similar possible mislabeling occurred for what appears to be Gaibon, which was called a Hippogryph, which also has official art that Gaibon lacks).

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon[]

There are several enemies in Circle of the Moon that resemble flying bat-winged female demons. The Succubus is the most basic kind. More advanced kinds, such as the Nightmare, Fallen Angel, Lilim and Lilith, attack with rings arranged in a circle around them.

While not bat-themed, the Harpy and Siren behave similarly.

Camilla, one of the main antagonists of the game, transforms into a giant demoness with bat-like features in her boss fight.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow[]

In Aria of Sorrow, the Ancient Book 3 hints that the Succubus is considered one of three essential parts that make up Dracula's powers.

The body of Graham Jones's second form consists of the eviscerated torsos of twin succubi. Beating Graham's human form with the Succubus soul and the other two parts of Dracula's power, Giant Bat and Flame Demon, is required for Soma Cruz to realize that he "is" Dracula and then be able to get to the true ending of the game.

Some Succubi will take the form of Mina Hakuba and plead for help while lying on the floor to taunt Soma to come to their rescue. If physical contact is made with one of these, Soma will receive damage. After taking a hit, they'll drop their guise and transform back to their true forms.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow[]

Similar to the previous game, some Succubi will take the guise of Yoko Belnades in Dawn of Sorrow. If Soma jumps past them, they'll attempt to kick him in this form. If he attacks, they will laugh and drop their disguise, revealing their true form.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]

The Succubi will say different things to a male character than to a female character in Portrait of Ruin. If her advances are "rejected" by a male character, she'll exclaim: "You impudent!". She'll yell at a female character: "Filthy cow!". When defeated, she'll sarcastically murmur: "So lonely...", while fading away in flower petals.

Lilith will occasionally drop the Lilith Corset, which can be worn by Charlotte Aulin.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles[]

If Richter or Maria fail to rescue all of the trapped girls in The Dracula X Chronicles (including Annette), Annette will be turned into a Lesser Vampire and must be fought and killed as the end boss of Stage 7, replacing Shaft Ghost.

However, a Lesser Vampire sharing the vampirized Annette's appearance and voice still appears as an earlier alternate boss for Stage 5', replacing the Hydra, instead of being fought at the clock tower in Shaft Ghost's place, even if Annette and the other kidnapped maidens were rescued. No information is given on this monster for this particular scenario.
