Spear Guard
Spear-wielding, lightly-armored skeletons that can be encountered in Konami's 1997 Castlevania: Legends Super Gameboy video game. These undead creatures mindlessly patrol the grounds and interior of Dracula's castle, impaling any trespassers they happen to run across on the ends of their pointy sticks. Initially, it will take three cracks of Sonia Belmont's whip to destroy one of these fiends, but only two blows when the weapon has been powered-up (that said, note that the long-range fireballs that the full-strength, third-level whip unleashes do minimal damage and will still require three hits--it's only physical contact with the actual whip that deals the increased damage). Materials: Newsprint, tissue paper, white glue, super glue, plastic, and acrylic paint. Dimensions: 3.8 cm/1.5 in. x 3.1 cm/1.2 in. (widest point x highest point) Time: One day; June 6, 2010.
