Trivia
Cover
As mentioned in the game itself, and also suggested by his name, the hero Firebrand is fiery red in color. Since the game is black and white only and the cover artist obviously hasn't played any G'n'G game before, Firebrand is depicted as a green gargoyle on the game's cover, though.Firebrand
Firebrand (also called "Firebrand in The West" or "Red Arremer/Red Ariimaa") appears also as an antagonist in another Capcom series. He is the little red gargoyle in Ghosts 'N Goblins and also shows up again in its sequel - Ghouls 'n' Ghosts.Awards
