Ghost Dancer

Dead Nobles that dance together. Ghost Dancers first appeared in Super Castlevania IV, spinning around each other through walls and ceilings, possibly hitting the hero of the game. These were essentially a paired version of the Dead Nobleman and Dead Noblewoman. A boss version of them also exist which waltz throughout the battle area while throwing lances; also, they can whip out their own handheld lances and charge through the air. In the US version, they are individually known as Paula Abghoul and Fred Ascare (parodic versions of entertainers, Paula Abdul and Fred Astaire). Ghost Dancers reappeared in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. They generally bobbed up and down across long horizontal distances, and then switched directions. In Dawn of Sorrow and later games, they gain stop when they get to the end of their movement range to split apart. Killing one of the ghosts causes both of them to disappear. They are weak to light and resistant to striking, slashing, and freezing.
