** Bastian is most definitely a ham even though he has no voice actor. Not that he needs one to be one of the most over-the-top characters in the game, constantly spouting Shakespearean sounding verse.

* King Drake the third from ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', who comes complete with ridiculously overblown posing, pyrotechnics when he says his name, and a [[Leitmotif]] that sounds like someone's national anthem. Oh, and he's voiced by [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|Norio Wakamoto]]. His hamminess is the major reason why the other overlords consider him [[Smug Snake|a first-class twat]].
** Zetta's first appearance is so hammy that it not only leaves chew marks on the scenery but also sets it on fire (''literally''), but he mellows down after his unfortunate transformation. Which isn't to say that he no longer hams it up:

** Likewise Zetta's long time love Salome hams it up big time in the final chapter of the game, shocking even Zetta with her [[Chewing the Scenery|scenery chewing]] [[Love Makes You Crazy|insanity]].

* A lot of the dialogue in those ''[[Castlevania]]'' games that actually ''have'' dialogue, especially ''Lament of Innocence'' and ''Curse of Darkness'' due to the use of fairly accurate but still excessive [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]. But the Ham-hat goes off to the English dub of ''Symphony of the Night'', especially this legendary exchange between Dracula and Richter Belmont, [[Good Bad Translation|sadly retranslated in the PSP remake]]:

'''Dracula:''' "WHAT IS A MAN?! *Throws wine glass* A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF ''SECRETS''! But enough talk...HAVE AT YOU!" }}

'''Dracula:''' "Hah! ''Mankind...'' *Wine glass* A ''cesspit'' of HATRED AND ''LIES!'' Fight for them, then, and ''die for their SINS!''" }}
*** And during the battle proper:

'''Alucard:''' "[[Oh Crap|Your blood... The scent of your blood...]] YOU'RE A '''BELMONT!!'''"<br />
