Skeletons
	1. Skeleton [White/Gold] (jpn) - Super Castlevania IV				[ edit ]
	Japanese Description: (*) It might be called the weakest, but depending on the location, it adopts combined attacks with other characters and corners Simon. It should not be underestimated.	HP: 48 Exp: 100 Atk: 3		1. Castle Gate, 2. Forest, 3. Underground Water Vein, 4. The Trick Manor, 6. Grand Hall, 9. Treasure Room [Gold], A. Clocktower, B. Dracula's Tower
