The Tumbling Torso [[entity]] is present in both the ''[[MediEvil Rolling Demo]]'' and the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]''.{{RollingDemoEntityRef|Tumbling1}}{{ECTSPreAlphaEntityRef|Tumbling1}} However, their model is only present in the ''MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha''.{{Gameref|ECTSPreAlpha|[[MEDRES.MWD]], files at indices 548 (assorted textures), and 550 (Tumbling Torso model)}} Given their lack of an actual presence in either version, it can be assumed that they were cut at an earlier point in development.

===Appearance===
Tumbling Torsos were green zombie torsos with exposed ribcages. Their heads had been cut off, or had fallen off, as only bloody stumps with a bit of bone jutting out remained in their place. Everything below the waist was missing too. This did not leave them helpless however, as they were quite capable of using their intact arms to get around.
