Well, I'll be! You made it.

"Legion" just has way more power and immediate imagery associated with it.

As I've said before in some form or another, "Granfalloon" sounds like a gravel-filled balloon.

To me, Granfalloon is more fitting, despite sounding less cool than "Legion". ;D It's because of the literary association of Granfalloon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granfalloon ). A bunch of people who identify with each other to form a social group. o_O

True.. I think it's more fitting for the monster itself, but a demon is cooler. :P

dunno, i think the monster was supposed to be a demon with hundreds of lost souls absorbed by it, forming an unified consciousness controlled by the demon inside or something, rather than a bunch of people who for no reason decided to strip naked and grab a hold of a giantic tentacle monster. :P

Well the original Legion was just one guy who got possessed, then Jesus sent him off to a bunch of pigs and they committed suicide. It's actually a better choice, but meh. o_O I liked the name Granfalloon better (once I found out what it meant), if only because I always thought it was a society of people who conformed with one another too well; They wanted to be like everybody else so badly that they ended up like that big mass of bodies, clinging to each other for support, their desires forming a monster, a core. It kinda sounds funny now, but I always somehow thought that.

Granfalloon has that vibe to it that makes you think of a shrieking ball of nudists.

Also, tits.

I voted for Legion " I am Legion for we are many" the possessed guy in the bible was possed by many demons simultaneously, plus the bible reference is more fitting for castlevania than some shitty poem about balloons

I beat all the incarnations of Legion, except it's second "nebulas" form in curse of darkness. I think that was the toughest battle in the game.

This poll is pointless.  These two bosses are the same thing except have different names.

The point is to pick which name is better suited to said boss.

actually i went through it recently, like a week back, and i took nebulus. took me a few tries, i was trying to do it without using up potions. i actually got it on my first try using everything but 2(of 4) xs potions.

the bone attack from the bird i.d., the shield(and health combined with the item that makes them lose health instead of you) from the battle i.d. and any healing from a fairy i.d. help. of course i did this just before draculas castle.

i had made the feather sword, which is the strongest sword in the game, and i used that over the warhammer because it's faster. when you drop him to half health you can really wail on him while he's pulling that corpse out of the ground just before he grows huge. at that point when he's gigantic, put on your best fist weapon double jump and assault his knees. eventually he goes back to normal size, but by then he shouldn't have much left and you should know what you need to do to finish it off. my only regret is i never made the steal.

Legion because of the bible reference. Legion was a whole, well, legion who had possessed one man. Jesus did not drive them away, but transfered them into a hord of pigs, who then drowned themselves.

Jesus asked the man: "Who are you?"
"We are Legion, for us are many."
