The Scary Candle, Trick Candle and Mimic Candle are enemies in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon.
Description[]
The Scary Candle, Trick Candle and Mimic Candle are three enemies that take the form of candles to conceal themselves (similar to Mimics posing as Treasure Chests in other games), although they are colored differently from normal candles. When struck by a weapon, they'll abandon this form and transform into a frail-looking humanoid creature made of wax that drops to the floor, where it will rapidly melt away.
Each one of these secret enemies will only appear after a particular boss has been defeated. They are usually found in rooms that have been previously explored and where the player normally wouldn't have a reason to revisit.
Scary Candle[]
Found in the Iron Golem's boss room in the Machine Tower after the twin Dragon Zombies have been defeated. Has a chance to drop the Uranus card, which allows to summon mythological creatures to unleash devastating fullscreen attacks. Due to its quick melting time, it may be difficult to kill despite being the weakest variant. Two of them spawn in this room.

Trick Candle[]
Found in Cerberus's boss room in the Catacomb after Camilla has been defeated. Has a chance to drop the valuable Pluto card, although many kills may be required as it rarely drops it.
|
Mimic Candle[]
Found in the long corridor inhabited by Skeleton Athletes in the Audience Room after Death has been defeated. Has a chance to drop the Gambler Armband. Once struck, it will fall to the floor and melt away, so it has to be killed quickly.
Unlike the other two candle enemies, the Mimic Candle in particular is notably hard to kill, as it has a very high amount of health (990 HP and 600 DEF). Even if the player is at a considerably high level (about Level 60+), playing in Fighter Mode (which greatly increases the player's STR stat), and wearing advanced STR boosting items, such as the Soldier Fatigues and two Strength Armbands, that usually won't be enough to kill it in time by normal means before it melts away.
Known ways to kill it include repeatedly using the Clock sub-weapon to slow it down and allow the player to attack it more times, or summoning a powerful monster to heavily damage it until it dies (Uranus + Attribute Card).
