}}}}'''Dragon Dan''' is a cut gameplay mechanic from ''[[MediEvil (1998)|MediEvil]]''. After drinking the [[Potions|Dragon Potion]] power-up, [[Sir Dan]] would transform into a red dragon. According to the game's producer, [[Chris Sorrell]], Dragon Dan was cut due to taking up too much space in memory.{{TwitterRef|Sorrell|1472053476473507843|December 18, 2021|January 4, 2024|quote=…And when I say Dragon Dan, that’s literally what we originally hoped to do - to literally turn him into a dragon version of himself. I guess this was artwork exploring that idea. But sadly we didn’t have enough memory and had to make do with a cheap armor upgrade instead!}} This is likely because of the unique model and its multiple animations. Its replacement, the [[Dragon Armour]], utilises the existing Dan model (safe for swapping out a few parts) and only has one unique animation for breathing fire. | |||
The Dragon Dan model can be found inside [[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha/The Gallows Gauntlet|The Gallows Gauntlet]] [[cambridge:WAD|WAD]] file in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', suggesting that this may have been one of the levels, or perhaps the only level, where the Dragon Potion would have appeared.{{Gameref|ECTSPreAlpha}} | |||
==Characteristics== | |||
===Appearance=== | |||
After drinking the Dragon Potion, Sir Dan took on the appearance of a small, red dragon. The potion neither altered Sir Dan's size, nor did it restore his missing eye. However, it did affect his posture, making him lean forward. A pair of yellow wings sprouted on his back and a big, red tail sprung from his backside. His feet turned into claws, making him unable to wear his sabatons. The rest of his armour was mostly unaffected by the transformation. | |||
