Axe Armor

Axe Armor is the name given to a monster in the Castlevania series.

The Axe Armor is distinguished by it's mode of attack. The Axe Armor attacks the player by throwing axes. In the early platform sidescrolling adventures, the Axe Armor could throw axes horizontally at either a head level elevation or at a leg level elevation. Both elvations offer the player a chance to avoid being hit by ducking or jumping respectively. Axe Armors are usually knights obscured by the full plate armor they are equipped with.

In the game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night if the player completed the game and created a new character named axearmor, the main character had the option of becoming an Axe Armor by equipping the special armor.
