Hedge Clown

Hedge Dragon

The Hedge Dragon, also known as the Hedge Serpent,[1] was a serpent-shaped hedge found at the circular area near the beginning of the maze. When Dan approached its head, it came to life and spit fire at him.

Hedge Elephant

The Hedge Elephant was a part of Jack of the Green's third riddle. To solve the riddle, Dan had to bring the mouse to the Hedge Elephant while avoiding the cats in the area.

Hedge Man

The Hedge Man, also known as the Hedge Figure,[1] was only hostile after Dan completed Jack of the Green's last riddle. It was found above the entrance to the chess area.

Hedge Octopus
