Dracula (ドラキュラ, Dracula), full title Count Dracula Vlad Ţepeş, is the main antagonist of Castlevania franchise. He is loosely based on the historical figure Vlad the Impaler, as well as the character in the Bram Stoker novel Dracula.

Dracula appears as a fightable boss in Ultimate in Dracula's Castle. The conditions for fighting him have yet to be revealed. His attacks and attributes take inspiration from multiple games in the series:

• Hellfire, a set of three fireballs appearing in the original Castlevania.
• Dark Inferno, a wave of alternating fireballs that must be ducked or jumped over from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
• A circling variant of three Dark Infernos that alternate between moving clockwise and counter-clockwise.
• Fire pillars that resemble a combination of his primary attack in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Dario's pillars in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and one of his attacks in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
• A swarm attack where Dracula rushes in the form of several bats, referencing his attack in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.
• Dracula can also transform into his second form from Rondo of Blood.
• He can only be hurt in the head, his common weakpoint since his first appearance. Attacks below this area cause a misty effect, resembling Alucard's mist transformation.

Trivia

• Despite Dracula casting a shadow in the Dracula's Castle stage, it is technically impossible for a vampire to cast a shadow as they lack a soul, similar to how vampires not being able to cast a reflection.
  • This could be a reference to the 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracule where Dracula has a living shadow in his form in order to divert suspicion from Harker.
