Version 1.2 - Added HP totals for Galamoth and Dracula, thanks to an e-mailer.

Version 1.1 - So yeah, I'm the idiot who managed to spell his own name wrong
             in the header.

Version 1.0 - This is the first version of the guide, so there will obviously
             be typos and errors and such. I will limit them with a spell
             checker of course, but not everything can be perfect. If you see
             anything that is glaringly wrong and feel the need to contact me
             about it, be my guest. I'm always open to people pointing out my
             mistakes in anything I write.

Hello, and welcome to my Symphony of the Night Bestiary. The premises of this
guide is simple; I will simply list every monster in the game as it appears in
the Bestiary seen when talking to the Librarian within the Long Library. This
guide will read exactly as the Librarian's Bestiary does, and will serve as an
archive of what is in the Librarian's Bestiary for when you don't feel like
turning the game on and looking it up yourself =)

       Level = The enemy's level
  Hit Points = The enemy's hit points
Strong Versus = Element(s) that will cause less damage to the enemy
      Immune = Element(s) that will cause no damage to the enemy
 Weak Versus = Element(s) that will cause extra damage to the enemy
      Absorb = Element(s) that will heal the enemy
  Drop Items = Items that the enemy will drop; in the event of two items
               listed, the second item is considered a rare drop
  Experience = Amount of experience the enemy gives you when you kill it;
               note that as you increase in level, the enemies will give less
               experience. The experience listed by the in-game bestiary is
               essentially the maximum experience you get upon the enemy's
               death, as the number goes down as you increase in level.
        Note = For some enemies, I will throw in an extra note or two not
               listed by the game

        Note: For whatever reason, Konami decided to give the two different
              merman types the exact same qualities, right down to what items
              they drop and what name they have. The only difference between
              the two is that the fire-spitting Merman is level three instead
              of two, and the fire-spitting Merman has a slightly different
              sprite. Other than that, they're essentially the exact same
              enemy.

              within the game. They have 30 Hit Points apiece, and can each
              drop either $400 or a Bwaka Knife. Also, this is the version
              of the Spectral Sword that appears within Olrox's Quarters.
              There is a second enemy of the same name a little later within
              the bestiary.

        Note: The only way to ever encounter the Mudman and fill out your
              bestiary in the is when fighting the Lesser Demon in the first
              castle. The Mudman is one of the enemies that it summons, and
              if you kill the Lesser Demon too fast, you'll never get another
              chance to encounter the Mudman through the game.

              within the game. They have 20 Hit Points apiece, and can each
              drop either $400 or a Takemitsu. Also, this version, unlike
              the one who appears within Olrox's Quarters, only appears within
              the Chapel in the first castle; it's also a little stronger than
              its predecessor.

        Note: The Paranthropus will only drop a Ring of Varda after you have
              a saved Clear file on your memory card. Until you do, the rare
              item dropped will simply be a Turquoise. Credit goes to Zach
              Keene for this information, because Lord knows I, along with
              many other people, had no idea what was going on when the
              Paranthropus wouldn't drop a rare item on the first play through
              the game. It was Keene's guide that helped clear this up for me.

        Note: The description within the game's bestiary actually reads

              took out the word "undead" so that everything would fit within

        Note: In the first castle, you fight the Lesser Demon as a boss. He
              can summon three enemies --- Mudman, Slinger, and Ectoplasm ---
              and this is the only chance you get in the entire game to
              encounter a Mudman. In the Inverted Castle you fight Lesser
              Demons as normal enemies, but they'll only summon other Lesser
              Demons if you leave them alone long enough.

        Note: The third and final version of the Spectral Sword within the
              bestiary has not one, but two different enemies flying around
              it. These enemies count separately, but as usual, are not
              listed anywhere in the bestiary. The first, the shields, have
              120 Hit Points and can drop either $400 or a Knight Shield. The
              second, the spears, have 10 Hit Points and can drop either $400
              or a Javelin. Also, this version of the Spectral Sword can only
              be encountered in the Chapel in the Inverted Castle.

Strong Versus: None
      Immune: None
 Weak Versus: Holy
      Absorb: Dark
  Drop Items: None
              None
  Experience: 4444
        Note: If you read the in-game bestiary, the description for Beezelbub
              actually reads "Beelzebub Lord of Flies". It doesn't mean
              anything special, but it's funny to look at.

o=============================================================================o
|Azaghal - Executioner of Hell.                                        No. 137|

|Richter Belmont - Master vampire hunter.                              No. 140|

Strong Versus: None
      Immune: Holy
              Stone
 Weak Versus: Dark
      Absorb: None
  Drop Items: None
              None
  Experience: None
        Note: Even though Richter appears to be an enemy, he isn't. Before
              fighting him, equip the Holy Glasses. You'll see a small green
              sphere following Richter around and controlling him. That sphere
              is Shaft, the Dark Priest responsible for Richter's mind
              control, and the "proper" way through the battle is to kill
              Shaft, not Richter. However, if you're a fan of seeing all of
              the endings in the game, two are available after this battle.
              You get one ending for killing Richter outright, and another for
              killing Richter with the Holy Glasses equipped.

o=============================================================================o
|Dodo Bird - Rare bird. Runs when sees people.                         No. 141|

|Galamoth - Magical being with plan to rule the netherworld.           No. 142|
o=============================================================================o

       Level: 50
  Hit Points: 5000
Strong Versus: None
      Immune: None
 Weak Versus: None
      Absorb: None
  Drop Items: None
              None
  Experience: 9999
        Note: Galamoth has a set amount of Hit Points; however, I don't know
              what it is and the in-game bestiary does not list it.

o=============================================================================o
|Guardian - High level Armor Lord.                                     No. 143|
o=============================================================================o

       Level: 60
  Hit Points: 500
Strong Versus: Cut
      Immune: Fire
              Thunder
              Ice
 Weak Versus: None
      Absorb: Dark
  Drop Items: Great Sword
              God's Garb
  Experience: 1500
        Note: Until you reach about level 60 or so, the Guardian is the single
              best enemy in the game to level up against. It takes forever
              before the experience received from the Guardian is too low to
              bother with, and when you first come across them, you can gain
              a ton of levels in mere minutes. But don't be careless when
              fighting them, because they're rather strong.

o=============================================================================o
|Death - Dracula's close friend.                                       No. 144|
o=============================================================================o

       Level: 66

Strong Versus: None
      Immune: None
 Weak Versus: Holy
      Absorb: Dark
  Drop Items: None
              None
  Experience: 4444
        Note: Like Olrox, Death has a second form that the in-game bestiary
              never bothers to list.

o=============================================================================o
|Shaft - Dark Priest of Dracula.                                       No. 145|
o=============================================================================o

       Level: 88
  Hit Points: 1300
Strong Versus: None
      Immune: Poison
 Weak Versus: None
      Absorb: None
  Drop Items: None
              None
  Experience: None
        Note: To get Shaft to appear in the bestiary, you have to defeat him,
              then use a Library Card after the battle with Dracula stars. But
              if you do this, take note that you'll have to defeat Shaft again
              when you return to his chamber.

o=============================================================================o
|Dracula - Lord of Wallachia. Father of Alucard.                       No. 146|
o=============================================================================o

       Level: 98
  Hit Points: 9999
Strong Versus: Fire
              Thunder
      Immune: Poison
 Weak Versus: None
      Absorb: Dark
  Drop Items: None
              None
  Experience: None
        Note: To get Dracula to appear in the bestiary, you have to use a
              Library Card and teleport out of the battle. You'll have to
              fight Shaft a second time, but if a complete bestiary is worth
              it to you, then go for it. Also, like Galamoth, the in-game
              bestiary does not list Dracula's Hit Points.

+ III. Credits/Special Thanks +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

CJayC: He is one man, and happens to maintain the best site on the internet.
      There is no way in hell that this is an easy task, especially with the
      fact that GameFAQs is growing at an exponential rate. I can't thank him
      enough for all of the hard work.

Konami: For making the game, maybe? =p

Board 8: You guys are a bunch of lunatics, but I don't know what I'd ever do
        without you <3

Slowflake: For being a great friend and just kicking so much ass all the time.

calculus is easy: He explained to me the difference between "Cut" and "Hit" in
                 the in-game bestiary.

Zach Keene: When I was playing Symphony of the Night for the first time and
           trying to go for a complete bestiary myself, it was Zach and his
           awesome guide that explained to me that the Paranthropus does not
           drop a Ring of Varda until you beat the game once. Mucho thanks to
           Mr. Keene for this information, and FULL credit goes to him for it.

Nicholas Wong: Submitted the HP totals for Galamoth and Dracula.
