The Lesser Demon is an enemy in the Castlevania series. It is a flying demon that patrols its territory and wields powerful magic. Some can summon demonic allies, including other Lesser Demons.
Description[]
Lesser Demons are low level classic demons, more powerful than a Tiny Devil and less than a Devil. The first Lesser Demon that appeared in a Castlevania game was called Leviathan in the North American localization of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
Appearances[]
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[]
The Lesser Demon from Symphony of the Night utilizes multiple attacks. It is able to fly and can summon allies at will, becoming temporarily invincible during this process. It can also attack by slashing with its claw or by spitting poison. The first such demon encountered is as the boss of the Long Library, which can summon Skeletons, Ectoplasms and Mudmen. In fact, this boss fight is the only method available to the player to fight a Mudman and make it register in the Master Librarian's Enemy List; Lesser Demons encountered later on in the Necromancy Laboratory will only summon other Lesser Demons.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence[]
The appearance of the enemy changes greatly in comparison to his previous appearance: he has a head of a billy goat and his wings are more like those of an eagle than those of a bat. Actually, its 3D model is a recycled version of the Thunder Demon from the same game.
Unlike his Symphony of the Night counterpart, it can not summon other monsters. Instead, it only attack is to attack the player directly down to the ground.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness[]
Their attacks consist in swooping and swatting the player, as well as spiraling toward the them (the Spirit of Fuji can be stolen from them whenever they perform this attack). For some reason, they also drop Lollipops.
Its appearance is large and muscular, with long bat-like wings and horns. Its fur is red with a fluffy white mane.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]
The Lesser Demon retakes its appearance from Symphony of the Night and its ability to summon other demons. In addition, it can also attack the player with its claws, which can poison them.
It can drop the Skull Ring, the most powerful ring of the game (although it curses the player in return).

Castlevania: Moonlight Rhapsody[]
During the events of Moonlight Rhapsody, a Lesser Demon moved into the Library. He and his minions were causing so much noise that the Mysterious Merchant couldn't even hear the sounds of his coins (see dialog). So, he asked for Elvis's help in getting rid of them in return for selling him a key, which he did after the deed was done (see dialog).

Trivia[]
- A Yu-Gi-Oh! card exists that is based on a Lesser Demon. In the English print of the card, its artwork has been heavily edited, lessening the resemblance to the Castlevania creature. The "Demon" in its name was also changed to "Fiend", appearing as Lesser Fiend.
