| After doing so, the Whip of Alchemy grew a great hatred towards anything related to the creatures of the night, and became known as the Vampire Killer.

| | ==Trivia== |
| | *According to a statement made by the head director of the three Famicom ''[[Castlevania (series)|Castlevania]]'' games, Hitoshi Akamatsu, the inclusion of the whip as the player's weapon of choice is a reference to Indiana Jones, a fictional action-adventure film character who is famously known to wield a bullwhip. |
| | * The first official instance in which the whip was referred to by the name "Vampire Killer" was in ''[[Castlevania: Bloodlines]]'', where it appears as such in the instruction booklet and in the game itself of both the US and Japanese versions (the US version was actually released one day before the Japanese version, on March 17 and 18 of 1994, respectively). |
| | ** However, technically, the very first time the name "Vampire Killer" was used to refer to the whip would be on a worldbuilding document sent to ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' and other publications. |
| | *According to an [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GySCbdcMRigVfXiiB7Q_zSflaBUbrneL/view?usp=sharing internal document]<ref>EGM Bloodlines</ref> shared by [[:Category:Konami|Konami]]'s Chicago offices to ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' as part of the prerelease of ''[[Castlevania: Bloodlines]]'', the original intention was for there to be three whips throughout the series. The Vampire Killer would have been the Morris Clan's replica of the [[Belmont Clan|Belmont]] whip, here referred to as Excalibur in the document. |
| | *In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', both hilts of [[Simon Belmont|Simon]] and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]]'s Vampire Killers were redesigned to resemble their ''Lords of Shadow'' series counterpart, [[Dracula (Lords of Shadow)|Gabriel]]'s Combat Cross, while the chain whip part is the fully upgraded version of the whip from the [[Castlevania Timeline|main series]]. |
