Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Familiars

Bat

The Bat Familiar will attack enemies, and as Alucard levels up the Bat’s attack will become stronger. Also when Alucard morphs into a Bat, another Bat will show up after you level up, and eventually Alucard will have several Bats following him around when he morphs. The Bat Familiars will also shoot a fireball when the Alucard morphed bat shoots one.

Demon

The Demon Familiar pushes buttons in walls that Alucard cannot reach, which will open up new areas in the Abandoned Mine and Cave. As you level up the Demon will be equipped with Fire, Ice, Thunder, and Lightning Spears.
