| The Creature is naturally derived from the classic horror monster, often erroneously referred to as Frankenstein. The Creature is in fact Frankenstein's creation, created in a process that is not detailed in the novel (hinted to be chemical or alchemical in nature). The Creature's appearance is modeled after Boris Karloff's portrayal of Frankenstein's Monster in the 1931 film ''Frankenstein''. This film, and many after it, portray the Creature's creation as involving the robbing of graves for body parts, which are then assembled into one body that is given life by electricity.

| The Flea Man is a recurring enemy in the ''Castlevania'' series, also known as Hunchbacks. Flea Men hop about erratically, making approach difficult. They are often dropped on the player by airborne enemies. An invincible Flea Man named Igor accompanies the creature as the boss of the fourth level of the original ''Castlevania.'' Igor is a stock character in horror films, typically depicted as a hunchbacked servant of Frankenstein or [[Dracula]], although the prototypical "Igor" from the 1931 film was named Fritz (portrayed by Dwight Frye).
