Mad Butcher and Mad Snatcher are enemies in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. They are madmen wielding a chainsaw.

Description[]

Mad Butcher[]

A madman who takes his time to turn on his chainsaw before relentlessly chasing the player around, vigorously slashing everywhere in front of him. He is first found in the Mystery Manor and later reappears in the kitchens under the Library inside of Dracula's Castle, an area more suitable for an enemy of these characteristics.

Description "A madman with a mechanized saw. Enjoys butchery and sculpting."

Mad Snatcher[]

It is an insectoid parasite that has taken control over the body of a human. Interestingly enough, the latter wears a hockey mask, apron, and wields a chainsaw, although no explanation is given whether he already had these characteristics when parasitized, or if it is the result of the creature's will.

It initially remains stationary on its spawning spot; when approached, it takes a moment to turn on its chainsaw and then rushes toward the player while slashing with it.

Trivia[]

  • Both enemies are most likely based on Leatherface, the main antagonist from the horror film series, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the Mad Snatcher is just a modified sprite of the Mad Butcher).
    • The Mad Butcher in particular looks virtually the same as Leatherface, right down to wearing a bloody apron, having fuzzy black hair and wearing a mask presumably made of human hide.
    • The Mad Snatcher, on the other hand, wears a hockey mask, which is likely a reference to Jason Voorhees, the main antagonist from the Friday the 13th series of slasher films.
    • The chainsaw both of these enemies carry is a shared trait associated with both Leatherface and Jason (although the latter has actually never been seen using one).
  • These enemies are rather inaccurate from a narrative point, considering the modern chainsaw was not invented until the 20th century.
