List of Darkstalkers characters

This is a list of characters from Capcom's Darkstalkers media franchise, who are either based on various literary and cinematic monsters or inspired by international mythology and fairy tales.

Consisting of supernatural creatures engaging in combat while participating in a tournament held on Earth in order to decide the new ruler of the otherworldly dimension of Makai.

The games are set in a pastiche gothic horror universe, as is the 1997 Japanese anime miniseries Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, which was based on the first two titles and was faithful to the characters' in-game personalities.

The 1995 American-produced animated series, simply titled Darkstalkers, ignored the games' and characters' backstories in favor of a standard good-versus-evil plot.

A PlayStation port called Darkstalkers 3 later included the cast as a whole, with new story mode endings provided for the originally cut trio.
