- For the boss called "Gobanz" in Japan, see Death Bat.
Gobanz is a boss in Castlevania: The Adventure. He is a hulking and heavy armored monster knight who wields a club-like weapon attached to a retractile chain.
Description[]
Gobanz is the first boss in Castlevania: The Adventure, an armored hulking creature that wields a club-like weapon attached to a chain that comes out from where his left hand should be. He advances slowly from one side of the screen, stopping every couple of steps to unleash his weapon for a ranged attack. His armor will reflect any fireballs shot from Christopher's whip (reflected fireballs are harmless to Christopher as well).
He makes a reappearance as a normal enemy in the last stage of the game.
In concept art in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, he is described as an "Armor Mid-Boss" that reflects projectiles back at the player and uses a long spear to attack. His sword and shield would ultimately be transferred to the Evil Knight enemy.

- The original Japanese name of this enemy is "Zeldo". However, some names were switched in the American and European localizations of Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge:
