-->[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Mindless, man-shaped monsters made of masses of mud.]]

* BadassNormal: This is the man who ''finally kills Dracula'', armed with nothing more than guts, courage, skill, determination, and the family's AncestralWeapon. What more would you expect? He even looks the part, sporting a BadassBeard and wearing a BadassLongcoat, as if to emphasize his skills and power.

* CrazyAwesome: How'd he get that cutie mark? He ''smashed a hurricane just by flying straight into it.'' The Cutie Mark Crusaders and even Rainbow Dash all think this is crazy yet awesome InUniverse.

[[caption-width-right:161:"My girl, with all due respect, [[CompletelyMissingThePoint this castle appeared]] ''[[CompletelyMissingThePoint overnight]]'', [[CompletelyMissingThePoint and you're concerned with]] ''[[CompletelyMissingThePoint statues!"]]'']]

* PorkyPigPronunciation: She seems to especially have trouble with her F’s, B’s, D’s, and S’s. It does lend to her [[{{Adorkable}} adorkableness]], though.

* BadDreams: Is constantly plagued by these throughout the first book.

* BreakTheCutie: Roseluck was pretty well-adjusted near the start of the first book, but one near-death experience and a series of BadDreams later, she finds herself straight into BrokenBird territory.

* ManInWhite: In his natural form, he dresses all in white. In his pony form, he appears as a white unicorn stallion.

* ManInWhite: Always dresses in white, perhaps to distinguish himself from Dracula's predilection for black and red.

* [[GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave Grandpa, What Massive Hotness You Have:]] Even Celestia seems to have an attraction to him. Must be all the Badassness listed above.

* [[WomanInWhite Mare In White]]: Save for her magenta eyes and red stars cutie mark, Marble's color scheme is extremely pale.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Rainbow Dash suspends her pride for a moment to beg for Shatterstorm's release from Marble's grasp. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments It goes to show how far Rainbow Dash would go for somepony she hardly knows.]]

* TheUnfought: Despite the fact that his influence is everywhere (Much like a certain ''other'' [[LordOfTheRings Big Bad we could name]]), the Mane Six never cross him in the first book. Hell, he never even makes an appearance!

* AintTooProudToBeg: Rainbow Dash suspends her pride for a moment to beg for Shatterstorm's release from Marble's grasp. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming It goes to show how far Rainbow Dash would go for somepony she hardly knows.]]

* [[ABoyAndHisX A Creepy Ghost Guy And His Creepy Ghost Dog]]

* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Beast]]

* MindScrew: [[spoiler: So she isn’t Marble, but actually Actrise, except that she isn’t Actrise, just possessed by Actrise, but she still isn’t Marble because she’s actually White Dwarf because there never was a Marble to begin with.]] [[SpaceBalls Everypony got all that?]]

* RedHeadedHero: If his tail is red, his mane likely is, too.

* RedHeadedHero: He's the most heroic and competent of the Belmonts, and sports a full head of red hair.

* OutsideContextVillain: The one strength of Dracula's that trumps anything the ponies of Equestria could have done. Nopony expected his forces to suddenly appear and attack.

* BoisterousBruiser

* HotBlooded

* GenkiGirl
* MotorMouth

* {{Mooks}}

* ReluctantMonster

* AdaptationalBadass: In ''[[CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow]]'', the Chronomage was merely an obstacle. Here, he is actively a villain that terrorizes Aeon, and his personality is greatly expanded on.

* HeroicBSOD: Is crushed by one in the final scene of the final chapter of Book One.

* [[spoiler:BelligerentSexualTension]]: Hinted at between herself and Shatterstorm.

* {{Determinator}}: Best demonstrated during her fight with the Wharg in ''Cradle of Ruin'', where she simply does not give up, no matter how badly she's beaten.

* HeroicBSOD: Faces probably the most devastating one out of all the Mane Six. It takes her out of the climax of the first book.

* [[spoiler: ItsAllMyFault: By the end of the first book, he's dropped hints that ''he'' was the one who scattered Dracula's parts in hopes of preventing future risings, causing the resultant invasion of Equestria.]]
** [[spoiler: Book 1.5 confirms this, revealing that he was manipulated into doing so by Galamoth, who wanted to usurp Dracula's position. The Mane Six comfort him, telling him not to blame himself.]]

* [[spoiler: SecretlyDying]]: As revealed in Book 1.5 [[spoiler: his powers are waning, which indicates this is happening to him.]]

-->A complicated Royal Guard with a broken past. His strength comes from his
-->resolve to become better than his mistakes…

* [[spoiler:BelligerentSexualTension]]: Implied with Rainbow Dash.

* ShowerOfAngst: Takes one at the end of Book 1. It's not the first time, either...

* ArchEnemy: Becomes one to Twilight Sparkle as of the end of Book One.

* TheCreepyUndertaker: Embalming is his talent, after all. His other negative aspects are entirely his, though.

[[quoteright:349

* AwesomeMcCoolname

* GoodIsNotNice
* [[HeManWomanHater He Stallion Mare Hater]]: He doesn't seem to like mares very much, especially brash and aggressive ones like Rainbow Dash.

[[quoteright:349:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/white_dwarf_9718.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:349: [[spoiler: "ILied to you, Pokey. Ab-About everything."]]]]
* AltoVillainess: Her voice is often described as deep and regal.
* AntiVillain
* BeautyEqualsGoodness / BeautyIsBad: [[ZigzaggingTrope Zigzagged]] [[MindScrew all over the place.]]
* [[spoiler: BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Tries to do this with Pokey after Actrise leaves her and she's arrested, but he refuses to abandon her.]]
* [[spoiler: EvenEvilHasStandards: Joined Dracula willingly, but ultimately refused to poison the foals in the hospital.]]
* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler: Thanks to [[HolyBurnsEvil the Magic Cross]], White Dwarf now has a cross-shaped scar on her face. Definitely evil.]]
* [[spoiler: IHaveManyNames]]
* [[spoiler: IHaveYourWife]]: Implied to be the reason she's still working with Dracula's minions even after [[spoiler: refusing to poison the foals]].
* [[WomanInWhite Mare In White]]: Save for her magenta eyes and red stars cutie mark, Marble's color scheme is extremely pale.
* MindScrew: [[spoiler: So she isn’t Marble, but actually Actrise, except that she isn’t Actrise, just possessed by Actrise, but she still isn’t Marble because she’s actually White Dwarf because there never was a Marble to begin with.]] [[SpaceBalls Everypony got all that?]]
* PorkyPigPronunciation: She seems to especially have trouble with her F’s, B’s, D’s, and S’s. It does lend to her [[{{Adorkable}} adorkableness]], though.
* VillainousBSOD: After [[spoiler: Actrise de-possesses her,]] Marble becomes crushed by her hopeless situation brought on by her bad decisions.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, she was going to [[spoiler: just be Actrise in disguise]]. But so many readers saw this coming that the author rewrote her, fleshing the character out in the process.

!!Rose Blade
-->After Shining Armor was incapacitated, Rose Blade took his place as Captain. His desire for power has driven him to commit unspeakable acts.
* AgentPeacock
* BadBoss: Kills his underlings for questioning him, and doesn't care if anything else kills them either.
* BerserkButton: If you know what's good for you, don't question his authority.
* TheCaligula
* TheQuisling: Sells out [[spoiler: Princess Cadence]] to Dracula's forces in order to save his own ass.
* SadisticChoice: Gives Rainbow Dash the choice between having sex with him or watching Shatterstorm die.
* SmugSnake: He's even described as "snakelike", from his appearance to the sound of his voice.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Taken with SmugSnake above, Rose Blade offers Shatterstorm and Rainbow Dash apples when they're in a place of safety. Shatterstorm only eats his after Rainbow Dash digs into hers. Then after that everything goes straight to hell. [[Literature/TheBible Boy, does that sound familiar...]]

!!Whisper White
-->A Crystal Pony serving as Rose Blade's Vice Captain. His strength and speed are nearly godlike, making him an invaluable ally.
* BerserkButton: Suggested that someone he loves is weak? Hope you didn't need that liver.
* CombatSadomasochist
* DepravedBisexual: Though, since he's most attracted to strength and power, it would appear he's more of a Depraved Pansexual.
* DissonantSerenity
* EyeScream: Shatterstorm beats his eye into "an unrecognizable jelly."
* LightningBruiser: Moves [[SuperSpeed so fast]] that people can't even see him do it.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Likes handing these out at Rose Blade's order. And then ends up on the receiving end from Shatterstorm.
* TheSociopath: Doesn't even hesitate to cause extreme harm to others, [[DissonantSerenity smiling all the while]]. In fact, he's even smiling after Shatterstorm beats him halfway dead, finding beauty in his own screams.
* SoftSpokenSadist

!!Nevermore the Perverse
--> Said to be one of the most evil unicorns to have ever lived, his controversial actions are what brought an end to the gruelling Ancient Pony Wars.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He concocted an effective poison that can only ever affect children, but at the same time concocted an antidote in case anyone ever dared to use the poison on his own kids.
* TheGhost: Never featured beyond getting name-dropped by a few characters, yet his reputation sets up quite a few elements for the first book's climax.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* ShoutOut: To a certain famous poem by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe.
* WouldHarmAChild: This is the most infamous of his actions. He created a dangerous hallucinogen that is swiftly fatal, but only affects foals.

[[folder:Castlevania Villains]]

!!Tropes Shared By All or Most of the Castlevania Villains:
* PsychopathicManchild: Aeon describes them as such.
* SmugSnake: Actrise and the Chronomage in particular are quick to gloat when they have their enemies right where they want them.

!!Dracula
-->The Lord of Castlevania. Has lived for centuries, risen from the dead each time mankind had fallen from the path of good. He now seeks to dominate all of creation, in all its dimensions.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[Film/BattlefieldEarth While everypony was still learning how to]] ''[[Film/BattlefieldEarth SPELL THEIR NAMES]]'', [[Film/BattlefieldEarth Dracula’s forces were out conquering whole galaxies]] in search of his body parts.
* BigBad
* TheDreaded
* EvilerThanThou: The aura given off by just his rib is described as being worse than Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, and even his own minions.
* OutsideContextVillain: The one strength of Dracula's that trumps anything the ponies of Equestria could have done. Nopony expected his forces to suddenly appear and attack.
* TheUnfought: Despite the fact that his influence is everywhere (Much like a certain ''other'' [[LordOfTheRings Big Bad we could name]]), the Mane Six never cross him in the first book. Hell, he never even makes an appearance!

!!Death
-->The loyal retainer of Dracula, Death is not actually the spirit of death itself, but a demon in the familiar shape of the Grim Reaper.
* CreepySouvenir: Collects the voices of people he kills as these. Upon entering Equestria, he decides he'd rather collect pony cutie marks instead...
* TheDragon: To Dracula. Of course, the fact that the boss is still incapacitated means that Death is the one [[DragonInChief calling the shots]] right now.
* EldritchAbomination
* GrimReaper: He takes this shape, but as said before, he's not the real deal.
* NightmareFace: One that resembles a distorted skull—what’s worse, it ''wriggles and writhes'' when he’s angry.
* PragmaticVillainy: Goes right for attempting to kill Twilight after she takes out Dullahan.
* SinisterScythe
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Has the voices of every person he’s ever killed.

!!Actrise ([[VideoGame/{{Castlevania 64}} Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness]])
-->A theater actress who, terrified of her own mortality, sold the soul of her daughter and 99 other children to Dracula in order to live forever.
* ArchEnemy: Becomes one to Twilight Sparkle as of the end of Book One.
* BadBoss: Her actions implicate that it certainly isn’t fun working for her.
* DealWithTheDevil: As stated above. Twilight is sickened when she learns of this.
** She acts as an intermediary so Dirt Nap can make one with Aguni.
* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession: Possesses Marble/White Dwarf when she refuses to poison the foals in the hospital.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To Twilight Sparkle. Intelligent, crafty, talented with many forms of magic, plans and plots everything down to the last possible detail. If it weren’t for her more-experienced air and complete disregard for sentient life, she’d be Twilight Sparkle herself.
* EvilGenius
* FauxAffablyEvil
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Though the only female in the core group of Dracula's minions, she fills this role rather than that of the DarkChick.
* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Poisoned many of Ponyville's foals to blackmail Dracula's rib out of Twilight. Before that, she even casually experimented the poison and cure on sick foals just to make sure they worked.]] And then after that, she ''just keeps going.''
* TheNicknamer: Doesn't respect anypony enough to use their names. Except for [[WorthyOpponent Twilight Sparkle.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: A victim of the trope. In the [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLegacyOfDarkness original game in which she first appeared]], her name was actually spelled ''Actrice'', [[MeaningfulName the French word for "actress".]]
* VillainousBreakdown: When she realizes that Twilight has [[spoiler: cast a spell that'll more effectively hide Dracula's body parts]], she starts [[SayMyName screaming Twilight's name]] while beating the Chronomage (who was unfortunate enough to be standing nearby) bloody with her staff. This only lasts a few minutes, however, and she pulls herself back together.
* WickedWitch: ''So'' wicked and cruel that even ''Pinkie Pie'' [[BewareTheNiceOnes wants revenge on her.]]
* WouldHarmAChild: Her backstory is that she sold 100 children, including her ''own'' '''''daughter''''' to Dracula for immortality and magical powers. So, naturally, she has no qualms about [[spoiler: using a horrific poison on foals to blackmail Twilight into giving her Dracula's Rib.]]

!!Chronomage (VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow)
-->A white rabbit-like demon whose existence seems to parody children’s storybook characters. His cartoonish behavior hides a sinister creature underneath.
* AdaptationalBadass: In ''[[CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow]]'', the Chronomage was merely an obstacle. Here, he is actively a villain that terrorizes Aeon, and his personality is greatly expanded on.
* AliceAllusion: To start with, he's a bipedal white rabbit who wears a waistcoat, carries a watch and is obsessed with time to the point he can manipulate it. The Chronomage goes beyond the pale by also speaking in nonsensical, often-rhyming gibberish of silly portmanteau words and completely made-up words, as well as wielding the Vorpal Sword from "Through the Looking Glass", which itself has a blade comprised of pure gibberish-words.
* ArchEnemy: To Aeon.
* DarkChick: While not unafraid of physical violence, he's the weakest and most support-orientated of Dracula's minions; the actual female of the group, Actrice, is the leader and its main magic-based provider of firepower.
* HairRaisingHare: This is one ''bad'' bunny.
* LaughablyEvil
* KickTheDog: Causes Bon Bon's cart to throw a wheel for ''no reason'' other than [[ItAmusedMe his own amusement.]]
* MonsterClown: Whimsical, sadistically jovial, prone to joking and singing while bringing harm to others. All he's missing is the face paint.
* PerfectlyCromulentWord: Talks like this ''all the [[SelfDemonstratingArticle dimperdunked]] time''.
** RhymesOnADime: ...Unless he speaks in limericks.
** ThatRemindsMeOfASong: ...Or breaks out in song.

!!"This Man" and "Ghostly Dog" (The Dead Mate) (VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV)
-->A pair of inseparable friends who work together to accomplish Dracula's demands.
* [[ABoyAndHisX A Creepy Ghost Guy And His Creepy Ghost Dog]]
* EvilDetectingDog: A very interesting use of the trope. The Ghostly Dog is able to locate Dracula's pieces, and is used to track down and find the rib.
* NoNameGiven: At least, [[AllThereInTheManual not in the narrative.]]
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Applejack kills them fairly early on, and doesn't even stop to consider the act until near the end of the first book. This is ironic because the Dead Mate was basically a one-of-a-kind Mook in ''VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV''.

!!Aguni (VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow)
-->An ancient fire demon of mysterious origins.
* PlayingWithFire
* MythologyGag: Aguni's use in the first book is identical to his use in ''Videogame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow''; empowering a villainous character with fire magic through a DealWithTheDevil.
* WakeUpCallBoss: When Twilight attempts to drown him, all it does is put him out [[OhCrap for a good few seconds.]]

!!The Coven
-->A group of witches serving the whims of their den mother, Actrise. Allison, Bella, and Chloe are the most outspoken of this group, and the most loyal.
* TheBrute / DirtyCoward: Bella tends to bounce between these.
* CutenessProximity: Chloe squees over Fluttershy, like most people do. [[spoiler: Then it gets subverted when she casually mentions that she likes harming animals.]]
* TerribleTrio

!!Behemoth
-->A creation of the Castle itself.
* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Beast]]

!!Dullahan
-->A headless warrior who had been killed in a great slaughter.
* WarmUpBoss: Shares this with the Great Bat. He gets defeated by Twilight Sparkle.

!!The Great Bat
-->An enormous vampire bat. Known to attack and devour horses.
* WarmUpBoss: Shares this with Dullahan. He gets defeated by Shining Armor.

!!Mud Men
-->[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Mindless, man-shaped monsters made of mud.]]
* BerserkButton: Aeon warns Bonbon that Mud Men detect other creatures by hearing, so loud noises drive them to attack the source.
* BlobMonster: They're living masses of mud that crudely imitate the human form.
* DishingOutDirt: Technically. They ''are'' living mud, known to attack using their earthy bodies as weapons.
* EvilSmellsBad: They are noted as having a particularly vile smell.
* {{Mooks}}
* UncannyValley: Invoked InUniverse: Bon Bon notes that, despite the fact she's of a different species and has only seen one human by this point, the Mud Men's crude imitations of human faces really makes them creepy.

!!The Wharg
-->A tragic pony-turned-monster, the Wharg runs amok in Canterlot, [[DeathSeeker almost as if in search of somepony worthy enough to put it out of its misery...]]
* BeautyToBeast: Once a great musician, now a creature terrified of her own existence.
* CanisMajor: Big enough to dwarf ponies -- it's at least three times bigger than Rainbow Dash!
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: If only because it's a ''pony'' werewolf.
* ReluctantMonster
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Several scenes have her lamenting her fate and desiring death over having to wake up and face another day as a monster.

[[/folder]]

* BigBadassWolf: Big enough to dwarf ponies -- it's at least three times bigger than Rainbow Dash!

* BeautyToBeast

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds

The following are the characters in the ''Fanfic/MyLittleCastlevania'' fanfiction series. These lists also include several of the Background Ponies, if their portrayal here is different from the usual fanon.
