Death/Symphony of the Night

Death greets Alucard after he begins his assault on the castle in the Castle Entrance in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. After Alucard refused to back down, he steals his powerful equipped gear (Alucard Sword, Alucard Shield, Alucard Mail, Dragon Helm, Twilight Cloak, and Necklace of J) and indicates he will see him again soon. He later makes his stand in the Reverse Caverns but is defeated.
In the English versions of the game, Death is voiced by Dennis Falt (in the PlayStation version) and Patrick Seitz (in The Dracula X Chronicles version).
__TOC__
==Enemy Data==
===Boss battle===
Death is fought in the Reverse Caverns, in an upside-down arena mirroring where the Cerberus is fought in the room's normal variant. 
Death begins the battle by summoning multiple small scythes in the room while hovering all around, in an identical manner as his Rondo of Blood appearance. The scythes can be eliminated by attacks and will not appear while Death is performing a different attack. When taken enough damage, Death will stop in place and charge up energy to summon two green indestructible electrical-like orbs from his palms. These green orbs will follow Alucard slowly but relentlessly, while Death then continues with his sickle barrage as he continues to hover around. When Death receives further damage, he will call back the orbs (to which they move slightly faster toward him), then the orbs will transform into large hexagrams that each summon a green skull. The skulls will be aimed at Alucard directly, but may sometimes travel in different directions, such as from one hexagram to another. When Death is near defeated, he will unleash two red spinning blades that track Alucard and encircle around him, delivering heavy damage should they make contact with him.
Once Death is defeated, he speaks a quote before transforming into a serpent-like second form wielding two sickles (one in each hand). The second form moves at a fair pace and has simplistic attack skills. If Alucard is close to Death, the latter will raise its sickles above its head and soon slam them down upon Alucard. Each time Death is hit or if Alucard is far away, Death will throw one sickle at him that will travel a distance straight ahead, then return at a lower trajectory angle. Death's sickles inflict heavy damage, but his slow movements make him somewhat predictable. His contact damage inflicts very little damage to Alucard while knocking him back a little. Alucard simply needs to dodge and retaliate to achieve victory over Death.
