Line 14:
** Also, it's more than unclear if the things you killed/wounded actually were Dagon and Hydra. It might just have been overly large deep ones. And the protagonist thinking he killed the [[Big Bad]] does not mean much, especially in a [[Cosmic Horror]] story with [[Unreliable Narrator|a madman as the narrator]].
* ''[[Castlevania]]'' lets you beat the crap out of '''Death''' on a regular basis, not to mention some of the more notable Bosses like the personification of chaos in ''Aria of Sorrow'', and all sorts of high-level demons.

*** A ''minor, recurring'' enemy at that. It actually is present in multiple ''Castlevania'' games, but is generally named Malachi (mistranslation during production of [[Symphony of the Night]]; the name stuck), and never a boss.
