Similarities and Differences Between Myth and Game

The concepts behind Dracula and many of his allies was rooted from the classic stories by Bram Stoker and movies. I did mention in a previous post about the origin of the series but this post will focus more on how much they are alike. Classic Dracula had above average human strength and could turn into a wolf, a bat, or mist to get into places he normally could not. His main weaknesses were stake through the heart, decapitation, holy water, garlic, and the cross. Castlevania Dracula shares some these traits as well. He did have super human powers as well as the ability to transform into a bat or a group of bats but he could turn into things beyond imagination (some games change what he could turn into most of the time.. His main weakness was instead the Vampire Killer whip but he can be damaged through other means of attacks. The developers took what was said about him in the past and designed a monster that went further from a book, but into a videogame.
