Tiny Devil

Tiny Devils are Imp-like devils. They float about and are hart to hit. They usually attack with energy vortexes.

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
The Mini Devil in Dawn of Sorrow, instead of a mischevious demon, is depicted as "A little demon with a big heart". These little buggers flies around Soma to unreachable spaces while firing thier energy blades at Soma. Catching a Mini Devil enables Soma to summon one as a guardian soul for 5 MP per Second. It fires the same energy blades and locks on to an enemy. An interesting note is that at lv 5+, Mini Devil is revealed to be female... The Mini Devil appears as as the size of a large doll (scale to Soma in-game). It looks like a fairie with little horns and a tail (keeping to the Mini Devil look), wears very little, and fires red hearts that cuts and charms some enemy with a curse (Curse Status). Thier rate of fire also increased. The Mini Devil also combos with the Guillotiner. When Soma casts one, the Mini Devil will cast an extra in front of it. With the Skeleton Ape soul, both Soma and Mini Devil cast thier Guilotiner further. The Mini Devil can also respond to Touch Screen, as expert players can move Mini Devil to hard to reach places and defeat enemies much like how they once annoyed Soma.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
The Mini Devil is a common eney found throughout the castle. It is very hard to hit with a regular weapon due to the fact that it just flies away and attacks from a distance. The only good time to hit the Mini Devil with a regular weapon and not a subweapon is when it is charging up an attack. Be careful that the charging up attack might finish charging and release anyways and this attack has some slight tracking capabilities.
