The Chaos Claws are one of Dracula's "Chaos" weapons in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. They are a pair of fiery gauntlets which Dracula can use to break down enemy defenses. They replace Shadow Magic from the first game.
Background
Chaos Claws
The solid walls of the castle were not strong enough to contain the rage and hate that Dracula held inside. Possessed by a yearning for revenge, the Prince of Darkness attacked the pillars of his new home. From its ashes new structures always arose, ever taller than the ones before and, from the burning fires, a blinding flame. In its burning heat the Chaos Claws were forged, filled with contained fury, waiting for their master to unleash their power once again.
Overview
Some time after Gabriel killed the Forgotten One and abandoned his old identity for that of Dracula, he also abandoned the Shadow Magic medallion he had worn during his adventure for the God Mask. In its place, he gained the power of Chaos Magic which manifests as a pair of clawed gauntlets comprised of flaming energy.
Mirror of Fate
Dracula brought the claws to bear first against his son Trevor, before killing him with his own Combat Cross.
Revelations
The Chaos Power was held by a statue of the Gorgon Sisters in the Forbidden Wing of the castle, where Dracula once isolated himself after obtaining the Forgotten One's power and subsequently lost his mind. Alucard reached the chamber where the power was held but the cursed blood impeded his path, submerging the Chaos Power within itself. Alucard was able to lower the blood levels and recover the power, placing it in the City of the Damned to be found by his father.
Lords of Shadow 2
Trevor informs his father that the gorgon sisters, Euryale, Stheno and Medusa had the claws in the City of the Damned. Dracula tracked them down to Medusa's lair and retrieved the claws.
Dracula uses them in conjunction with his Shadow Whip and Void Sword during the fight with the Gorgon.
Powers
The Chaos Claws are similar in nature to the Dark Gauntlet, being short-ranged melee weapons that yield immense destructive power. When equipped, Dracula gains punching and clawing attacks augmented with the power of fire which enables him to break through enemy armor through both heat and smashing damage. After obtaining the Primordial Chaos Gem from the heart of the Gorgon, Dracula expands the power of the Chaos Claws to summon explosions from the ground and fire balls of flaming energy called Chaos bombs.
Mastering the Chaos Claws allows Dracula to increase its damage, and to increase the efficiency of the Fire powers. It also change the visual effects of the attacks.
