Grant Danasty/Gameplay

Grant is fought as a boss in the Clock Tower in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. He was turned into a monster (possibly a Ripper) due to Dracula's magic. After he is defeated, he can be recruited by Trevor Belmont as his first ally.
==Movement==
Grant was dubbed "The most agile man in Wallachia" and his moveset shows it. He has two different strengths of jumps, a normal one, and an extra high jump. He is also the first Castlevania character able to switch directions while falling. He is also able to cling to walls or ceilings by pressing the direction button in the direction of the wall or ceiling. He is able to traverse them by holding a diagonal direction in the direction of the wall or ceiling. He will release his grip if the player ceases to press in the direction of the wall or ceiling. According to the The History of Castlevania e-book, he was originally intended to be able to ride some enemies, such as the Water Dragons.
==Weapons==
According to the The History of Castlevania e-book, Grant was initially conceived as having no normal attack. Instead, he would often rely on avoiding enemies. His regular attacks would automatically utilize a collected sub-weapon, which would consume Hearts. He could use either a Dagger or an Axe. Pressing UP when attacking would not switch which weapon he used; instead, if he had a Dagger equipped, he would be able to throw that dagger directly upward. Likewise, if he pressed DOWN and attacked with a Dagger, he would throw it downward. If he was clinging to a wall or ceiling, performing an attack would result in a sub-weapon attack (either a Dagger or Axe) in the opposite direction he was clinging to. He would also be able to perform attacks in quick succession without the need to find a Double Shot.
In the final Japanese version of the game, he was ultimately given a Dagger as his main weapon. Performing a normal attack causes a single dagger to be thrown like a sub-weapon, which would not consume Hearts. While it cannot be thrown up or down, it would be thrown in the opposite direction as a wall or ceiling he is clinging to. He can later acquire an Axe sub-weapon, which he could switch to by holding UP while attacking. However, it is not possible to use his Axe while clinging to a wall or ceiling. He is able to use Double Shots (but not Triple Shots) on the Axe. It is not possible for him to equip a Dagger sub-weapon or power it up, though (candles that would contain Daggers instead contain Axes for him).
In the North American and European versions of the game, he is given a short stabbing dagger instead of a throwing dagger as his main attack. He is able to equip either a Dagger or Axe sub-weapon. The Axe can only be powered up with a Double Shot, while a Dagger could also use a Triple Shot. When clinging to a wall or ceiling, the equipped sub-weapon is thrown in the opposite direction as the wall or ceiling during an attack instead of using his short range dagger.
In all versions of the game, Grant has access to the same special sub-weapons that Trevor does, including the Stopwatch, Invisibility Potion and Rosary.
