granfalloon

A wierd bizarre-ass looking monster from the Playstation game Castlevania: Symphonies of the Night(kickass game). The creature is made up of several dead cadavers of people piled up in a huge ball. This spherical mass of bodies floats above the ground. The center of the ball however, is the actual body of the creature itself(the surrounding ball of corpses is but a part of it). Tentacles jutting out from the central sea urchin-like(only without the spines) body support the mass of cadavers. The granfalloon attacks you by dropping out and animating a bunch of its corpses that in turn attack you like zombies. You need to keep hacking and slashing at the zombies to defend yourself. To kill the granfalloon itself, you need to keep jumping and using your weapons to break apart the ball of corpses. Once the central body is exposed however, things get harder when the granfaloon uses its many tentacles to shoot out laser-like beams in all directions around the room. You have to dodge the laser beams and keep trying to hit the central body, until you finally destroy the monster altogether. The granfalloon can be found in the Catacombs, which is the lowest level of Dracula's castle.
