Giant Ape Skeleton
.

This is more than just a larger version of a regular ape skeleton. This particular skeleton is equipped with a giant club, which it can use to swipe forward with or bat you over the head. The only way to hurt it is to strike its head, but you'll have to jump to do it (unless you're Carrie), which is made difficult since it likes to run a lot. To get the odds in its favor, it'll strike the ground with its club, awakening the dead, as regular skeletons will pop up in threes and give chase. After an initial battle, it'll flee; you'll have to give chase and finish off it and its motorcycle-riding friends. The Legacy of Darkness version can cause electrical mini-quakes by jumping high into the air and crashing into the ground--this after generating lightning to surround itself in a shield; unlike the Castlevania 64 version, you have to attack its limbs and its head, depending on how much energy it has left.
