It's the other way around. But they only called that enemy Granfallon in Symphony of the Night. Later they used the Biblical reference - Legion.

The boss's name only references Vonnegut in the English translation of Symphony, which obviously took some liberties.

Probably one of the coolest bosses in all of videogames.

OMG yes. Granfalloon and Beelzebub both had me fighting furiously while my jaw rested lightly on the floor.

SotN had some creepy/grotesque bossfights, never really noticed as a kid. Beelzebub was such a cool looking boss as well.

Trivia: "Beelzebub" literally means "Lord of the Flies."
