Hand

There are two types of evil hand enemies, those representing zombie hands thrust through the ground and those that float through the air.

Zombie Hands are found in front of graves and thrust themselves out from the ground and try to grab on to the hero. Sometimes they can prevent the hero from damagin and sometimes they perform damage doing this.

Hands start appearing in the LCD Simon's Quest game at the graveyard stage at night and are in each subsequent stage. They appear from the ground and wave around, causing damage. They cannot be destroyed, impede your forward movement, and must be jumped over.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
The Evil Hand enemy appears in several areas in Circle of the Moon, including the infinite corridor and the waterways. They inflict only minor damage, but they latch onto Nathan and cause damage over time, in addition to restricting his movements, inviting further damage from surrounding enemies.
