Captain

The Captain is an enemy in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. It is a large portrait painting possessed by the spirit of the captain of the ship.
==Description==
The Captain inhabits the central quarters of the Ghost Ship. As the player enters the room, the painting will suddenly come to life and begin to spin and bash violently around. If the painting manages to make contact with the player, a painted portrait of either Richter Belmont or Maria Renard (depending on the character the player is playing with) will appear on its canvas and the now free spirit of the Captain will break it apart, resulting in an instant death.
Upon being vanquished, the portrait –after uttering an otherworldly wail– will have its frame shatter, followed by the canvas burning apart.

==Trivia==
*An explanation for this enemy's behavior could be that the spirit of the Captain is trapped within the painting and when he manages to make contact with the player, both switch places and the evil spirit is then free to roam around while now it's the hero the one who will remain trapped in it forever. That's would also be the reason why the Captain destroys the portrait afterward - to both ensure to permanently defeat the hero and also to prevent any possibility of the painting ever trap him again.
*The background music that plays on the level where the Captain is encountered is called "Picture of a Ghost Ship"; this probably is in reference to the Captain, as he is in a picture and is only encountered on this level.
*In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Brauner, one of the main antagonists of the game, uses a very similar attack during his boss fight, where he enters a painting canvas which then floats and swoops around the room, much like the Captain from Rondo of Blood, attempting to bump on the player to deal considerable damage.
