He was Frankenstein way back in the first few games...

But was it a translation or the original Japanese name? I'd guess it was the former.

I think it's safe to say...at this point...that most of the classical monsters that appear in CV are not meant to be the "original" incarnations of those creatures (Frankenstein, Medusa, the mermen.......hell, Dracula himself). We really shouldn't be trying to tie these Castlevania versions in with their literature/mythical/cinematic versions as part of the same canon. We're still dealing with the messy aftermath of Bram Stoker's story being dragged......kicking and screaming.....into Castlevania's continuity.

I just want to know what Slogra(Berrigan?) and Gaibon are supposed to be.

I just want to know what Slogra(Berrigan?) and Gaibon are supposed to be.

I heard Slogra being described as a 'Dinosaur Knight', but more recently in CoD, Slogra is mentioned as a servant of Death. Gaibon is a Gargoyle. He was never mentioned as being anything else then Slogra's buddy or companion in battle.
