Ground Serpent

Ground serpents are giant snake, worm, or dragon-like enemies or their skeletons that burrow in the ground.

The sand serpent in the Egyptian desert of the Boku Dracula-Kun game acted much like a flying White Dragon in previous games and the Rahab in the same game. It could enter and exit a variety of holes in the ground, and came out floating in looping patterns.

The Ground Serpent (called such in Japan and the Bone Dragon King in North America) was one of the bosses that could be fought in Dracula's Castle in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Its long body burrowed in and out of the ground in a weaving pattern.

Two kinds of Ground Serpents could be found in Castlevania Chronicles. One dragon-like kind came in a pair lying in wait under the ground. They would then strike in tandem when Simon landed on the platform in between their tunnels. The other kind was more serpent-like and lied in wait for Simon to jump over its tunnel, when it would strike. It was very difficult to avoid and was best avoided using a Stopwatch subweapon.
