Shamelessly inspired by XombieMike 's Castle Design and Miriam's Room poll, I've decided to create a poll listing 40+ enemies/monsters. Some of the choices fit into certain categories to break down, what would be, a list that'd go on next to forever Possible examples - If a Griffin is your idea of an enemy, then you'd have to vote under 'Hybrid' because a griffin is half eagle/half lion. Succubus under 'Demons' ... or something such as a mixture of a curry, an ebola-infected rhino and a giant oyster would go under 'Amalgamations/Mutations' ... but hey, I'm sure you get the drift! You can select up to 30 choices. Choose carefully and may the force be with you!

Whatever the big grotesque monsters are, like Legion or Beezlebub. I like the very disturbing imagery and less the silly type characters. I also enjoy vampires like Orlox, or enemies that are more human in the fight like the doppelgänger. It's all gravy tho

The Amalgamations/Mutations selection gets my vote. This is what I see Iga focusing on in the game with his creative skills even if we didn't have to provide our input. And I voted for some other great choices too.

Some enemy ideas are cool, but because they don't make much sense (unless they give a certain context) I wouldn't like to see them. Valkyre/Warriors and Animals are two categories that are good but I feel need some sort of context otherwise they don't make sense to be in the castle. Since there is an emphasis on alchemy artificial lifeforms and mutated animals makes sense, I feel if they include animals that's the way to go. Of course I still want to see the typical enemies we know and love from Castlevania games all the different varieties of Skeletons and Zombies, Ogres and Demons etc.

Werewolves are hybrids, so I just picked hybrids. I like this poll. Stuff like this is great. Sure the choices just come from the mind of one individual, but I think it's still useful. I would have picked more than 30 if I could have. Whoever chose clowns can go have nightmares about them tonight... same goes for including the option to vote for them in the first place. No clowns please... no clowns.

I would like to see maybe a ghost or a possessed doll that attacks you and of course zombies and skeletons really add to the atmosphere.
It's hard to choose just one.

I would have picked more than 30 if I could have. Whoever chose clowns can go have nightmares about them tonight... same goes for including the option to vote for them in the first place. No clowns please... no clowns. Yes, some of the choices do coincide will each other. While werewolves are indeed hybrids, they have their own place in horror culture and are popular for many folk hence why many films and stories are made about them. So in that respect, they do need their own vote. Regarding clowns, it's surprising just how much some people get freaked out by them and it is quite a common phobia ... more then some people think. I watched a film many years ago called 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' and the clowns themselves looked rather creepy. To me, the zany appearance of a clown and the heavy, queer make-up seems to leave a curious impression that something ominous may be lurking beneath. That's why I added clowns to the list. Incidentally, if someone does feels the need to vote for witches, then choose Sorcerers/Wizards since they're the same type of enemies bar different sex

Seeing "Armors" on the list makes me think of how would Bloodstained fit in living armor design's, like would they be a classic knight armor corrupted and given life from the crystal curse. like half the armor looks normal then the other side would have exposed with the stained glass crystals, or something that looks like this armor from dark souls 1.

This is just a "for fun" poll and a real "official" poll will be held later right? I only ask because there are clearly a bunch of monster types that are missing from that large poll we collected from everyone's thoughts a while back (and maybe formatting can be cleared up a bit? I dunno). This is just common enemies and not bosses right? I'm also curious what "Aliens" mean since I imagine that would be a group that's especially variable (and also kind of scifi-ish). Are we talking little green men with huge heads and bug eyes?

It actually doesn't matter to me so much as them having attacks with special mechanics.. like an enemy that might grab you somehow (like the giant skelly boss in OoE who would grab you, lift you, and start punching iirc). ones that spit goo on the floor that does something nasty if you step on it... ones that can somehow interact with the environment, etc.

Thanks to Metalocalypse's Dr Rockzo, there's a precedent for having clowns run around in giant castles.

Skeletons, spirits, zombies, armors and demons are Castlevania's classics and they will probably be here. I would like to see a new form of monsters though :
• Corrupted, for instance : Regular monsters who get infected by the glass curse Gebel done on the castle. It could be slow demons who can barely walk due to crystals's weight, 100% glass monsters (fragile but deadly, litteraly a glass canon so to speak), or sorcerers who gave their souls to a curse on purpose to get more power.
I'm interested in plants and beasts monsters but again, I like the idea they're being mutilated due to some evil magics or something. Uncommon monsters, variety, lore monsters along the classics, the weirdos mobs (flying lion head with goat legs ?) and any religions / mythology references, it should do for an epic bestiary.
I hope the game will have some sinister parts as well and won't be kiddish too much.

Are we talking little green men with huge heads and bug eyes? I left out bosses on purpose because, let's face it, a boss can be any of the 40+ selections that are on the poll. Dracula is a boss but he is still a vampire. Death is a boss but is still a hooded entity. Legion and Menace are bosses but they'e amalgamations. There's always a good, inspired reason to make a boss out of any common creature/enemy. Aliens are anything that are not of this world so to speak ... not just little green men with bug eyes. Funnily enough, when I first thought about putting Aliens in the poll, the initial alien that sprang to my mind was The Thing from the film of the same name ... a vicious, parasitic life-form that hides inside its host before mutating. To quote Einstein "Imagination is more important than knowledge" and this kind of applies, in particular, to aliens (as well as other enemies) on this poll.

Is this part of/does it take into account the Bloodstained Enemy threads, do we consider it part of that content or is it in place of those or...? Beacuse I think we would still need to do a poll with a compilation of the enemies already suggested in those threads, right?

Given the alchemy theme in Bloodstained, elementals seem like the most likely on this list to appear as higher-end enemies. Demons are a given, but elementals, chimeras, and other alchemical monstrosities are the ones I'm most interested to see.

I love the idea of this ^^^ ... it'd blend in great with the Bloodstained story. Actually, it's kind of reminiscent of how an insect gets attacked by fungus...
