Mist Form is the ability to turn into mist which is possessed by Alucard and Dracula.
Overview[]
In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alucard can gain this ability by finding the Form of Mist relic. It is activated at the cost of 10 MP, but will drain 20 MP if used and while present (if Mist Form is used while having 11-20 MP, only 10 MP will be drained. It cannot be activated while possessing only 10 MP, due to gameplay mechanics). Initially, he can maintain this form for only a very short while and can be used to pass through metal grates and briefly avoid enemy attacks. His mobility while in this form is very limited. Finding the Power of Mist relic allows him to maintain the form as long as his MP can last and can maneuver much farther. This also causes the mist form's MP activation cost to be 0, while draining 2 MP per second for prolonged continuous usage. The Gas Cloud relic causes the form to turn yellow, allowing his mist form to damage enemies. Alucard cannot pick up any items or Relics while in mist form, simply passing right through them.
In Castlevania Judgment, Alucard's evade move involves him briefly turning to mist and reappearing further back or on the other side of his opponent. In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Mist Form is Alucard's personal action, and he can use it to evade enemy attacks.
Dracula generally does not utilize his mist form in fight sequences he has appeared in, although he is described and shown to be able to take the form in the intro sequence of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. He also utilized the form to escape from Christopher Belmont at the end of Castlevania: The Adventure. Hitting Dracula anywhere other than the head during the first phase of the boss fight against him in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has him using the ability as well, possibly implying that his previously-established immunity to attacks anywhere other than his head was the result of him using this ability.
Other appearances[]
Castlevania (animated series)[]
In the animated series, Chō, one of Dracula's generals, uses mist form. In this form, she is impervious to melee attacks, although she is ultimately killed when Sypha Belnades freezes her with ice magic while in this state and she shatters.
Lenore was also shown using mist form to pass through dungeon bars.
Castlevania: Nocturne[]
The vampire Olrox is frequently seen using mist form throughout the series, mainly to conceal himself and spy from the shadows the movements and machinations of the various factions involved in the story. Unlike other vampires from the prequel, who transformed into white mist, Olrox transforms into a black mist where only his glowing green eyes can be seen.
