Rowdain is the first boss in Super Castlevania IV. He is a lance-wielding skeletal horseman riding on an equally skeletal steed.

Description[]

Rowdain is the boss of the first stage, The Ruined Fortress. He is a skeletal horseman riding on an equally skeletal steed, the latter which can spew fireballs at the player.

Once the horse has sustained enough damage, it will crumble and die, leaving Rowdain to fight on foot. He will then start stabbing forward with his lance and performing high leaps to try to land on top of Simon Belmont and stab him with it. Once his HP has been reduced to 1, he will fake his death by exploding into a mass of bones, only to immediately reform in a final attempt to harm the hero.
