Death (disambiguation): Difference between revisions
(When the first Castlevania title was first released anywhere in the world (In this case, Japan), it was exclusive to a peripheral (In this case, the Famicom Disk System), so I think that should be worth listing to "Console of origin".) |

Death is a recurring boss in the Castlevania series, often serving as the penultimate boss. Death serves as Dracula's most trusted confidant, and is often one of the most difficult battles in the game.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Death appears as a background character in Dracula's Castle, using the design that was codified in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He does not seem to interact with the fighters. Death prominently appears in Simon and Richter's character reveal trailer "Vampire Killer," where he slices Luigi's soul out of his body before Simon attacks him.
His scythe also appears as an item.
Origin
As a prominent aspect of human life and culture, depictions of personifications of Death are common in numerous media. The image of a hooded skeletal figure wielding a scythe is often known as the Grim Reaper. Fittingly, Death appears as a regular character in the Castlevania series, often filling the role of Dracula's most trusted servant. Death is the only boss aside from Dracula to return in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest where he serves as the boss of Brahm's Mansion, and drops the Gold Knife, the strongest knife in the game. In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Death appears before Alucard and tries to persuade him to cease his crusade against his father. When Alucard refuses, Death strips Alucard of all of his gear, requiring him to obtain new weapons, armor, and abilities throughout the game.
