Dark Talbain, also known as Dark Gallon (ダークガロン, Dāku Garon) in Japan, is the cursed side of Jon Talbain. He first appeared as the boss for Jon in Vampire Savior and became a secret playable character in consoles ports, such as Darkstalkers 3. Just like Jon, Rikuo and Sasquatch, Dark Talbain is not featured in the arcade release of Vampire Savior 2.

Differences from Jon TalbainEdit

One of the key differences between Dark Talbain and Jon's sprites are the colors. Dark Talbain appears as if he is glowing, with flickering colors. While most of the cast have six different costume colors, Dark Talbain is limited to only two. His intro pose features him appearing out of almost nowhere while Jon's has him transforming from human into werewolf. Another difference is their Dragon Cannon animations. Dark Talbain's Dragon Cannon reuses Jon's old animation Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge which has one large wolf-like head shooting towards the opponent; Jon's Darkstalkers 3 Dragon Cannon features several wolf heads.

Both characters do share the same portrait and victory artwork, only Dark Talbain's is recolored to match his sprite. Most of their animations remain similar.
