Claw

Claws can be used to swipe at opponents. Enemies that use claws in combat include Freddies in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest and Malachi from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and later games, and Lady Cats and Black Panthers in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Claws are the short-range weapon that Cornell uses in Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. Shanoa utilizes claw swipes as her main attack when she takes the form of a Lady Cat.
