Castlevania: Dracula's Curse introduced the ability to recruit and play as different characters besides the main protagonist. Each one of them has their own specific set of sub-weapons. While Grant and Alucard both can have access to some of Trevor's sub-weaponry (Axe, Stopwatch, etc.), the most prominent character in this matter is Sypha Belnades, who finds magic books where others would find normal sub-weapons, making her the only character in the game who has her own specific set. The only Sub-Weapon that Alucard is able to equip is the Pocket Watch, which any character can equip. Sub-Weapons are referred to as Warakiya War Items and Special Weapons in the US instruction booklet.
