Darkstalkers is a short lived cartoon series made by Graz Entertainmentnote The company behind The Tick, G.I. Joe Extreme, and Skeleton Warriors for First-Run Syndication, and is based on the Capcom fighting game series of the same name.The plot is that the fire elemental Pyron wants the Earth to collect. When he came 4,000 years earlier, the Earth had lots of monsters who viewed him as a god. Now, Pyron is disappointed by the billions of common, grubby little beings with no powers, magic, or mutations. His ball asks him why he does not just kill all of man. Pyron says he wants the old races awakened, starting with Demitri Maximoff, the vampire lord. Once that proves to be a success, the two suck up Morrigan Aensland, Anakaris, Bishamon, and Lord Raptor. However, Jon Talbain, Rikuo, Sasquatch, Victor, and Felicia manage to avoid the beam. In addition, Felicia partners up with Harry Grimoire, a descendant of Merlin. Ultimately, the escapees decides to team up in order to stop Pyron. | |

| Darkstalkers / int_106adcb7 | comment |
Undeathly Pallor: Lord Raptor and Bishamon have different shades of blue skin, as in the games, while Demitri and Anakaris are gray. Bizarrely averted with Hsien-Ko, who doesn't look undead in any way. | |

Not-So-Harmless Villain: While Demitri is depicted as more comical in this series, he is also the only character in the series to get with onscreen murder, as he drains Amanda's parents dry. He also killed Hsien-ko's parents and sister in her backstory. | |

Adaptational Villainy: This would be the first of many depictions of Morrigan as a villain rather than a relatively Nice Girl demon as she is in games. Her appearance in the cartoon is evil, power-hungry and spiteful. | |

| Darkstalkers / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Demitri apparently murdered Hsien-Ko's sister and drank her blood, and the only reason he didn't get Hsien-Ko too is because she managed to run away. He also has no problem with using Amanda as a living shield twice and throwing her out a window. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| Darkstalkers / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: It's heavily implied that Mei-Ling, Hsien-Ko's sister, was killed by Demitri as a child. This is in contrast to the games, where Mei-Ling is very much alive as an adult, and transforms into the talisman on Hsien-Ko's forehead. Huitzil is blown to pieces. This is later subverted, as it starts to rebuild itself after everyone is gone. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Darkstalkers / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Demitri is a straighter, downplayed example, as he was made less scary. In the games, and the Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge OVA, his entire mouth is full of sharp teeth. Here, only his canines are unusually sharp and elongated, which is the norm for a vampire. Hsien-Ko has mechanical hands instead of the oversized claws at the end of her sleeves.note In the games, she does have real hands, but they are tucked inside her sleeves to hold said claws. As if that wasn't enough, the decision of to give Hsien-Ko a normal skin tone instead of her usual undead blue skin tone makes her Blush Stickers stand out much more than normal. | |

Tractor Beam: In essence, this is the function of the red beam of light that shoots off from Pyron's spaceship, better demonstrated in the first episode: Pyron draws Demitri out of his castle, then orders the vampire to find members of the "old races" and bring them aboard his ship via its tractor beam. | |

Pyramid Power: It is even the name of Anakaris's focus episode. In the first episode, Demitri, on Pyron's orders, uses the ship's Tractor Beam to dig Anakaris's pyramid out of the ground. Then, in episode 3, Anakaris shows in a flashback that, when he was alive, millenia ago, his pyramid held a magical stone able to shoot beams of light. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Darkstalkers / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Pyron, who in this series seems to be a completely incompetent villain, especially compared with his video game counterpart. In "Aliens Keep Out", he even has to be saved from Huitzil. In general, every character is much weaker than their canon counterpart. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Darkstalkers / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Many. For example, Sasquatch is called Bigfoot.note In the original game, "Bigfoot" is referred to as his species. On the other hand, the original mythical Bigfoot has also been referred to as "Sasquatch", which is likely what this series was referring to. | |

Gonk: Morrigan. To solve this problem, she actually eats her victims, playing straight to her succubus traits. | |

Grimmification | |

Grimmification: Morrigan is far closer to the mythological succubus here, with her ugly appearance, inherent demonic malevolence, and the consumption of her victims. | |

The Starscream: Morrigan spends much of the series trying to usurp Demitri's position as Pyron's general. To a lesser extent, both she and Demitri sometimes attempt to usurp Pyron himself. | |

Speaks Fluent Animal: In "Donavon's Bane", Morrigan rants to a little bat perched on her shoulder about a way to defeat hunter Donovan, and the animal replies to her in squeaking sounds which Morrigan appears to understand. | |

Alien Invasion: Pyron does this: he recruits members of Earth's "old races" (a.k.a., the Darkstalkers), so they can rule over humanity, and Pyron over the "old races". | |
