[[folder:Galamoth]]
[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galamoth_pose.gif]]
An extremely large, demonic-looking being who resembles a dinosaur. Though originally introduced as the BigBad in the ''VideoGame/KidDracula'' games, he made his first proper appearance in the ''Castlevania'' series in ''Symphony of the Night'', followed by a cameo in ''Aria of Sorrow'' and a significant yet unseen villainous role in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment''. Not much has been confirmed about him, but from what has been clearly established, he directly opposes Dracula and seeks to replace him as the lord of darkness. For some reason, he has spent far more time fighting Dracula's offspring.
----
* BreathWeapon: He breathes fire in ''Kid Dracula''. Given his appearance, this may also qualify as DinosaursAreDragons.
* BusCrash: Implied. Is a background villain that wants to oppose Dracula.

That's right, Galamoth's soul, suggesting that some time before Dracula's death, he finally settled things with Galamoth and won.
* CoolSword: Wields a standard sword in ''Boku Dracula-Kun'' and a LaserBlade in ''Kid Dracula''. He also holds a circular blade in his off hand in ''Symphony'', but never actually uses it.
* EvilVersusEvil: Each time, the forces of good favor Dracula as the dark lord.
* TheGhost: Despite his involvement in ''Judgment'''s plot, he never appears in the game, save for a SayMyName from the Time Reaper.
* GreaterScopeVillain: In ''Judgment'', he was the one who sent the Time Reaper back in time.
* ImmuneToFate: Given that he's the only villain to date to attempt to change history in his favor, and his soul's purpose in ''Aria'' is to prevent a TimeMaster enemy from turning back time, he likely possesses this ability in some form.
* MagicKnight: Wields both magic and swords.
* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: His attempt to remove Dracula from power by changing history in ''Judgment''.
* NotInTheFace: His rather hilarious weakpoint in ''Symphony of the Night''.

* TheStarscream: Depending on his true role in relation to Dracula.
* {{Superboss}}: In ''Symphony'', he is found in the Floating Catacombs, a completely optional area in the Inverted Castle, and is stronger than Dracula himself. He also plays this role in ''Encore'', in which he is located in the Royal Chapel instead and drops the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Alucard Sword]].
* WalkLikeAnEgyptian: In addition to his ''Symphony'' outfit's influences, he is animated in a manner that keeps him in constant profile.

[[folder:Lisa]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lisa_5.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Rika Fukami (''Symphony of the Night'')
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Alison Lester (''Symphony of the Night''), Creator/WendeeLee (''The Dracula X Chronicles'')
->"''If my death can save others, I gladly surrender my life...''"
Dracula's second wife and the mother of Alucard. Introduced in ''Symphony of the Night'', where it was revealed that her death provoked Dracula into a war with humanity.
----
* BadassBookworm: She studied medicine to cure victims of a plague that was ravaging the area at the time. Unfortunately, the people were suspicious of anything resembling witchcraft, and once they learned of a woman practicing medicine, they captured Lisa and executed her on false charges.
* BurnTheWitch: Accused of witchcraft due to being, apparently, a [[BadassBookworm very good doctor]].
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Lisa has pale blonde hair, which Alucard inherits. He also takes his good nature from her.
* IdenticalStranger: She is the spitting image of Mathias/Dracula's first wife Elisabetha, implying a ReincarnationRomance. Though since ''Lament of Innocence'' came later, when she was first introduced she was Dracula's one and only wife, as far as anyone knew.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Her death served as Dracula's motivation to wage war on humanity, finalizing his transformation into the main antagonist of the games.
* TheLostLenore: To her sore widower, Dracula.
* MeaningfulName: Not only does she look like Elisabetha, her name is a diminutive of hers.
* MotherlySidePlait: Her hairdo sports this style, and true to certain patterns associated with such hair, she ends up dying early. It's not called the "anime mom hair of doom" for nothing.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Executed as a witch for ''practicing medicine''. Deconstructed due to [[PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery Dracula's reaction]].
* OnlyOneName: She's only referred to by her first name, so it's unclear if Alucard's middle name is her maiden name.
* PosthumousCharacter: She's been dead long before her introduction in ''Symphony of the Night''.
* ShoutOut: Her existence and impact is a loose nod to ''Film/BramStokersDracula'', where the suicide of Dracula's wife ''Elisabeta'' leads to his start of darkness. This wasn't in the original novel.

[[folder:Master Librarian]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/master_librarian.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Masaharu Sato
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Dennis Falt (''Symphony of the Night''), Creator/KyleHebert (''The Dracula X Chronicles'')
->"''Hehehe... thank you.''"
The keeper of Dracula's Castle's library. He helps Alucard in his quest to find out why the Castle has reappeared by selling him items and equipment.
----
* EveryManHasHisPrice: The Librarian initially refuses Alucard's request for his help, but immediately and enthusiastically reconsiders when Alucard offers to pay him.
* GoldFever: He eagerly casts aside his devotion to Dracula the very moment Alucard offers to reward his efforts, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHLoRkd9qhQ sounds very happy]] when said reward is provided.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: No matter what Dracula may be, the Librarian is his devoted servant and will not betray him lightly. He wants nothing to do at all with Richter or Maria, and seems to only be willing to deal with Alucard because he is Dracula's son and they have prior history.
* NoHeroDiscount: Justified. The Librarian is actually in the employ of Dracula, and only helps Alucard at all because he's a greedy bastard. And if you use any of the extra characters, he'll refuse to deal with them at all; Alucard is permissible because he's the Master's son, estranged or not, but dealing with the Belmonts would be outright treason.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He tells Alucard that he couldn't possibly betray Dracula, only to immediately change his mind when Alucard says he'll pay him. However, he only does this for Alucard, since he's still Dracula's son, estranged or not. He won't even speak to the other playable characters.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Just like with the Merchant in ''Harmony of Dissonance'', he disappears from the series after the game featuring him is over.

[[folder:Succubus]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Rika Fukami (''Symphony of the Night''), Haruko Kitahama (''Lament of Innocence'')
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Barbara Whitlow (''Symphony of the Night''), Creator/MelissaFahn (''Lament of Innocence''), Creator/KarenStrassman (''Portrait of Ruin'', ''The Adventure [=ReBirth=]'', US and European version), Jessica Straus (''The Dracula X Chronicles'') Creator/WendeeLee (''Order of Ecclesia'', ''Harmony of Despair''), Creator/PhileceSampler (''The Adventure [=ReBirth=]'', Japanese version)
->"''If I'd known this would happen, I would have... fought you in the guise of your loved one...''"
A total of three of these devils appear as bosses throughout the series. The first one was a minion of Walter's taking on the guise of Sara in order to attack Leon. The second one was a minor foe that appeared under Dracula's employ. The third and most well-known debuted first. She took the form of Lisa in order to lull Alucard into joining Dracula's side. Several other succubi appeared throughout the series as minor enemies.
----
* AndIMustScream: The fate of the ''Symphony'' Succubus upon Alucard killing her. "Death in the dream world will set your soul wandering for eternity, demon." Though she was asking for it, as Alucard said before the battle that she [[{{Foreshadowing}} deserves a fate worse than death]], her response, being more or less [[TemptingFate "Bring it on"]].
* BurnTheWitch: The ''Symphony'' Succubus recreates the moment of Lisa's death in order to break Alucard.
* ChestMonster: The ''Symphony'' Succubus uses a fake Save Point. In one room is a real save point and, just across the hall, is another room that looks like a different-colored save point, but will in fact trigger a "nightmare" cutscene and the battle with her.
* CuteMonsterGirl: In comparison to the two before her, the Succubus from ''Rebirth'' seems more like this than hot.
* DemotedToExtra: After the first appearance of the Succubus, more and more of them have appeared as lesser enemies, with a palette swap called Lilith appearing as a weaker version.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: After beating her in ''Symphony'', at least in the original version. The ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheDraculaXChronicles Dracula X Chronicles]]'' port made her final cry sound a lot more like a death cry than a... [[TheImmodestOrgasm you know]].
* DoppelgangerSpin: The Succubus does this as part of her attack chain in ''Symphony'', filling up the top of the screen with duplicates.
* DreamWeaver: The circumstances of the fight in ''Symphony'', in keeping with the [[GeniusBonus original legend of the incubus]]. She tries to mess up Alucard's memories through dreams.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In ''Symphony of the Night'', the Succubus was the weakest version of her group, with Lilith being the strongest.
* GreenThumb: ''Lament of Innocence''[='=]s Succubus can grow poisonous flowers across the field that can poison Leon.
* FullFrontalAssault: The official art for the ''Symphony'' design shows that Succubus has exposed breasts with defined nipples. Most official uses of this artwork either cut off above the nipples or covers them with something. Her in-game sprite also has her chest and crotch exposed, with her clothing consisting of an open-bust corset, long gloves, and thigh-high boots.
* KarmicDeath: She tried to appear as Lisa, Alucard's dead mother, to tempt him into joining Dracula. Little did she know that the topic of Lisa was a RelativeButton for [[MommasBoy Alucard]], who was not pleased with the fact that a demonic monster tried to sully his memory of Lisa. [[AndIMustScream She ended up having her soul wander for eternity, never knowing rest.]]
* MovesetClone: Only in ''Circle of the Moon''. The Succubus as well as her stronger counterparts (Nightmare, FallenAngel, Lilim, and Lilith), all fight in a similar manner to the Harpy and the Siren.
* MsFanservice: Par for the course for any succubus, she is a scantily-clad and irresistible woman with the power to charm her foes. As mentioned above, she had been designed with her chest completely nude.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The Succubus from ''Rebirth'' is internally called "Vampire" in the game's files.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: One of their known tactics is to appear as a loved one to a hunter so they wouldn't be attacked so easily. Lament of Innocence's Succubus did this to Rinaldo and laments that she didn't attempt it with Leon. Symphony of the Night's turned into Lisa in order to try and break Alucard. Both Aria and Dawn of Sorrows Succubi appear as Mina and Yoko respectively, but attack you if you get too close or if your back is turned.
* SpotTheImposter: One of the ''Lament'' Succubus' attacks is creating two clones of herself, and if you strike the wrong one, you'll be hit with paralysis. The real one can be recognized by the rose petals she leaves in her wake.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Natch. They wear only stilettos, [[OfCorsetsSexy a corset]], and a babushka. The ''Rebirth'' Succubus is completely nude.
* TheShadowKnows: In SpotTheImposter above, one other way to tell the real Succubus from the clones is the fact that the real succubus casts a shadow, unlike the clones.
