* In ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'', there's a [[SplitPersonality slight distinction]] between Dracula and Alucard, even though they are the same person. Dracula is polite, friendly, erudite, and [[AffablyEvil incredibly, monstrously cruel]], while Alucard is a cheerful, petty, sex-crazed {{Troll}} who delights in screwing with people. It's a plot point that almost none of their enemies worked this out until the climax, and the ones who did are mildly embarrassed it took them so long to figure it out.

* Downplayed with Alucard from ''VideoGame/MobileLegendsBangBang''. He is not a vampire or related to one, however, he is a Demon Hunter that most likely hunted down vampire creatures and his skills has life steal built in to emulate vampires. Additionally, he gets inhuman power from his [[TheRightHandOfDoom corrupted right hand]].

* ''WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017'' naturally features Alucard as a major character. His alias seems to have been given to him by the people of Wallachia, and Alucard notes that his mother Lisa never liked it.
-->'''Alucard''': Alucard they called me. The opposite of you. Mother never liked that, did you know that? She hated the idea that I might define my self by you, even in opposition to you. She loved us both, enough that she wanted us to be our own people, living our own lives, making our own choices. And so here I am. Choosing to honor my mother by killing my father. No longer Adrian Tepes, choosing to be Alucard of Wallachia. The name of my mother's people. I'm sorry, mother.
