Rycuda

Rycuda is an enemy in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It is a monstrous bird that wields lightning.
==Description==
Rycuda is first encountered hovering in place, but when approached, it starts flying about. Its main attack is to briefly stop in midair and unleash a bolt of lightning from its beak that deals considerable damage. Because it is usually found flying high in the air, it may be difficult to hit it. A slashing weapon that traces a vertical arc (like a great sword or an axe) or a spell that covers a big area (like Last Scream) are recommended to fight it.
Its soul, Chain Lightning, is useful if the player is looking to acquire the Mothman's soul. With it, they can shoot a bolt of lightning at the searchlight's generator in The Pinnacle to attract the Mothman and kill it.

==Trivia==
*Rycuda may be a reference to the thunderbird, a legendary creature in Native American mythology that controls the upper world and has control over lightning and thunder.
*Unlike common birds, Rycuda's legs have knees, resembling those of a human. This is due to the fact that Rycuda uses the same graphic set as the Harpy.
