Nominon

Nominon is an enemy in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. It is an evil, soul-sucking spirit that paralyzes its victims.
==Origins==
This creature appears to be inspired by the Incubus, a creature from the Berserk manga/anime series. The Incubus is a small, cycloptic and tentacled spirit that induces nightmares and then feeds on the fear of its prey. It does this by grabbing the head of its victim with its tentacles and then using them to suck out their energy, just like it does in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.
However, since both the Metroid and the Castlevania series have been often compared to each other since the latter started implementing open world based mechanics, it is possible that Nominon's origins are also linked in part to Phantoon, an enemy boss introduced in Super Metroid, and which in turn also seems to be inspired in Berserk's Incubus.
==Description==
Nominon is a small, tentacled spirit that floats around its prey waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike. The monster will quickly lunge and attach to its head, paralyzing it, and then proceed to use its tentacles to suck up its soul. They are usually encountered when there are other enemies around, and use these distractions to their advantage.
They are remarkably weak, however, and a single strike from most weapons is usually enough to put them down, making fighting them more a matter of precision than of sheer force.
