Firemen are the first fire elemental enemies to appear in the Castlevania series. They are humanoid beings who have their entire bodies engulfed in flames, and which either set small fires on their path or throw fireballs that roll along the ground and which are impossible to block with a shield.
Appearances[]
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest[]
First appearance of this enemy in the series. Called Flame Throwers, these enemies are encountered about midway through the game, in the Devious Woods. They pace back and forth at a moderate speed and throw fireballs in an arc which roll along the ground when they hit the floor in such way that they cannot be blocked by the shield. They are a bit resilient and the pattern followed by their projectiles means they cover most of the area in front of them, so ranged attacks are recommended.

Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse[]
Firemen are flaming figures that pace slowly, leaving small flames on the ground that will burn the player should they touch them. Even though these fires can be jumped over, these enemies often appear in very narrow spaces, usually making it safer to wait until their fires burn out.
In concept art in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, it is described as a "Lava Beast" that leaves a burning path behind as it walks.
