Skeleton Flail

The Skeleton Flail, or Flail Guard, is an enemy in the Castlevania series. It is a skeleton armed with a spiked iron flail.
==Description==
The Skeleton Flail (called Skeleton Morningstar in Japan) is a skeleton wielding a large flail with a morningstar at the end. It is similar to the Whip Skeleton, which has a morningstar attached at the end of a long whip. The Flail Guard spends much of its time sitting on the ground, but when approached, will stand up, move around slowly and then cast its flail toward the enemy, with the morningstar spinning around at the tip of the rod for a brief moment. 
Due to cultural sensitivities around depicting skeletons in the Chinese market, the Skeleton Flail was changed to a boar-like demi-human in Castlevania: Moonlight Rhapsody called a Chain Hammer Soldier.
It is a type of Skeleton Chain.
