Summon Salamander

Game specific information[]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[]

In Symphony of the Night, the spell performed by using the Fire Shield's combo spell, either with a Shield Rod or with a Mablung Sword, will spawn three fiery dragons who will attack all enemies (50 MP).

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Saturn)[]

In the Sega Saturn version of Symphony of the Night, Maria can summon a single fiery dragon that can be controlled for 10 seconds while casting the Summon Seiryuu spell, also being invulnerable throughout its duration.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon[]

Summons a Salamander which brings along with it flaming meteors raining down on the entire screen. This can be performed in Circle of the Moon by utilizing the Uranus + Salamander DSS combination.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance[]

In Harmony of Dissonance, the similar magic "Soul of Hydra" appears as a spell fusion by combining the axe sub-weapon infused with the powers of the Fire Book. A giant hydra engulfed in flames will be summoned and it will attack one enemy on the screen. It will deliver heavy and constant damage to that enemy for a brief period of time. If the enemy dies, the hydra will seek and attack another enemy. If no enemies are left on the screen, the hydra will just slither through the air for a moment and then leave.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness[]

The Salamander ability can be learned by the Goat Head Mage-Type Innocent Devil. Unlike most other abilities, which are usually learned by defeating enemies, learning Salamander requires Hector to keep running for one hour (apparently, with the Goat Head summoned and doesn't have to be consecutive, although these requirements are unconfirmed).

When cast, the Goat Head will release a flaming dragon that will slither through the air and home toward enemies, inflicting moderate to heavy damage to them. It works better against bosses and strong enemies, as it tends to miss smaller ones.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]

Salamander is one of Charlotte Aulin's magic spell skills in Portrait of Ruin. It summons a flaming serpent that circles around its target, causing fire damage. It is the most expensive spell that can be purchased at Vincent's shop (200,000G) and it will be only available after defeating Stella and Loretta in the Master's Keep.

Trivia[]

In some Castlevania games, the Salamander resembles either the Intruder enemy from the Gradius series, or Zelos (dragon form) from the Salamander series, both also from Konami. These enemies are portrayed as serpent-like dragons engulfed in flames that can spew fireballs from their mouths while slithering through the air.
