    ― Zarok, after his transformation.

    Zarok's Beast Transformation was the form Zarok adopted in his final battle against Sir Daniel Fortesque in 1386.

    History

    After Sir Dan defeated Zarok's Champion Lord Kardok, Zarok finally decided to face Dan himself. He left the room to transform into this great beast. After Dan defeated him, his beastly body imploded and Zarok reverted to his original form.

    Legacy

    500 years later, a recreation of Zarok's Beast Transformation appeared in the Kensington museum as part of the Myths & Legends exhibit.

    Gameplay

    MediEvil (1998 original)

    Strategy

    Zarok's initial attacks are him chasing Dan around, spitting acid at him and swiping at him. He has a magical shield around him, which is disabled when he stands up on his hind legs. That's when Dan should strike. Dan should use a weapon like the Magic Sword, Dragon Armour or the Spear. Beware, though, once half of his life is diminished he'll start performing another attack which involves creating a powerful force field around him which will not only harm Dan, but will also set him on fire for a while.

    MediEvil (2019 remake)

    Psychologists all agree that the final, desperate form adopted by an on-the-ropes evil sorcerer once his minions have all been felled tells us a great deal about his particular psychosis.

    What does this form tell us about Zarok? Well, I'm no psychologist, but if ever there was a clearer case of narcissistic agora-paranoid kleptomaniacal dysmorphism then... my name's not Geraldine.

    Behind the scenes

    Development

    In pre-release builds of MediEvil dating as far back as August 1997, Zarok's Beast Transformation featured a pair of breasts.[2] This is because this form of Zarok was based on a ship's figurehead.
