The Moon Rod is scepter adorned with lunar markings. It is Alucard's most powerful Cudgel in both Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. It has a special attack that summons five large crescent-blades behind him, which then travel forward across the screen. A similar special attack called the Crescent Cutter would later appear in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls.
