Hi all, first post here, but I've been lurking for about a year now, so I thought I'd go ahead and register and post, as well as discuss a somewhat confusing topic. I saw it in the IGA topic and thought I'd move it to a separate thread instead of going even further off-topic.
What exactly is the Vampire Killer? I'm just curious because it's regarded as the 'kill-everything' whip but the games are very unspecific what it is. So I just wanted to hear the opinions of fellow Castlevania fans. But just to discuss some types, is it the regular bullwhip as shown in most of the cover art for most games (excluding Rondo, of course)? Is it a flail? Is it a chain whip? If so, what kind? The Asian one with sections or the chainmail whip with a bit of a morning star on the end? Or what? I'd just like to hear some ideas, on what it could be and what it seems would make sense in the term of the games.
Personally, I'd like to think of it as a chainmail whip, with a morning star attached at the end. But I would like to hear some other opinions as well.
