Changes: Slogra

Revision as of 14:50, 21 September 2015

Slogra is a spear-wielding enemy resembling a skeletal pterosaur. He is almost always seen paired with Gaibon, perhaps from their initial appearance as two of the four final bosses in Super Castlevania IV. In some Castlevania games, he and Gaibon are usually found in areas near where Death can be encountered, as they are his loyal servants. Slogra attacks by approaching the protagonist and lunging with his spear when he is close enough. When injured his spear is thrown off from him and retorts to stabs using his beak.

His soul in Dawn of Sorrow allows Soma to throw spears, in a manner similar to the Javelin special weapon from Portrait of Ruin.

Appearances

Super Castlevania IV

In Super Castlevania IV, Slogra is the first of the three final bosses before fighting Dracula. He shoots exploding fireballs from his spear when he attacks, and when hit, he jumps above the screen to land where Simon is standing. After losing half of his health, his spear will break, leaving Slogra to attack by quickly jabbing forth with his long beak.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

In Symphony of the Night, Slogra has teamed up with Gaibon. They are the first bosses Alucard will encounter. He attacks with his spear, knocking away the player. When Slogra receives a lot of damage, his spear will break and he will start to attack by lunging with his beak. If Gaibon is not low on health, he will grab Slogra and throw him at the player.

In this fight, Slogra is by far the more dangerous of the two. His spear attack does much more damage than Gaibon's flame attacks, and he can also use a magical attack with said spear that does about twice the damage of Gaibon's ultimate flame attack. It is possible to get through the first half of this fight without taking any damage, however. To do so, one must attack Slogra, wait until Gaibon picks him up, and then dodge Slogra when Gaibon drops him on you. Attack him and repeat this process until Slogra dies and then finish off Gaibon, who is much easier to avoid without Slogra.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

The body of Slogra can be found in one of the backgrounds of Harmony of Dissonance.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

In Dawn of Sorrow Slogra returns as a normal enemy. You will find both, Slogra and Gaibon, in the Mine of Judgment.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Slogra appears in Curse of Darkness, but he does not team up with Gaibon that often; however, commonly one appears in the same area as the other. Like in previous games, Slogra hits the player hard, knocking him away, either by impaling him or performing a three hit combo. This time around Slogra's spear doesn't break, therefore he's never seen fighting barehanded as he did in previous games.

Slogra does not have his characteristic mummified appearance in this game, instead appearing somewhat muscular. He's rather infamous for his grab attack, which consists in stabbing the player with his spear while a glowing yellow energy pumps and damages Hector. While he is incapacitated, Hector is also vulnerable to other enemies' attacks, which can quickly result in his death. This is potentially dangerous in Crazy Mode.
