    ===Friendlies===
    Four entries are available from the start:
    ====Sir Daniel Fortesque====
    ====Friendlies====
    Our bone-headed protagonist, born again into this Age of Wonders! In life he was just the worst: a coward, a cheat, a philatelist (or was it a philanderer... I don't recall). But either way, he seems to have woken up... different?
    ===== Sir Daniel Fortesque =====
     
    {{BookOfGallowmereEntry|Sir Dan}}
    Perhaps he can redeem himself? Zarok should be more careful where he aims his dark magic.
     
    ====[[Morten the Earthworm]]====
    Morten was so happy when Dan died. Surely, he initially had a lot of housework to do, but now he's got the place to himself, and just how he likes it.
     
    Of course, Dan coming back to life was a bit of a shock, but Morten will do anything he can to keep his home-buddy safe (and get him back to the earthy darkness as quickly as possible).
     
    ====[[Information Gargoyles]]====
    Can you imagine how boring it would be to be a sentient being - wise even - and be stuck permanently to a brick wall? No wonder these guys are grumpy.
     
    They pass time by eavesdropping, gossiping, and bad-mouthing any bizarre looking adventurers that might pass by.
     
    ====[[The Heroes]]====
     
    ====[[Merchant Gargoyles]]====
    Even in medieval times, there were vending machines designed to part a foolish hero from his gold.
     
    Clever customers may qualify for a discount... just don't ask the merchant how he acquires his wares.
     
    ==== [[Mr. Organ]] ====
     
    ==== [[Kul Katura the Serpent Lord|Kul Katura]] ====
     
    ==== [[The Pumpkin Witch|Pumpkin Witch]] ====
     
    ==== [[Jack of the Green]] ====
    <poem>
    There once was a statue named Jack,
    For riddles, he did have a knack,
    Dan entered the garden,
    Which Jack was a guardin',
    A smart hero would have turned back.

    ==== [[Captive Farmers]] ====
     
    ==== [[King Peregrin]] ====
     
    ==== [[Vulture]] ====
     
    ===Enemies===
    ==== [[Zombies]] ====
    These guys were fashionably undead before it was fashionable to be undead. Your brain may have long since rotted, but that won't stop them from eating it.
     
    Just a few chops should do them in. Be careful not to miss! That would be embarrassing.
     
    ==== Severed [[Hands]] ====
    Dan's number one fans. They can't afford to lend a hand, but they'll follow you to the ends of the earth. Or at least, to the end of the graveyard.
     
    ==== [[Boulder Gargoyles]] ====
    These guardian gargoyles aren't much for conversation. And don't ask to hear their singing voice - unless you're into rock and roll. Badum-tsh!
     
    ==== [[Headless Zombies]] ====
    Have you ever had one of those days where you leave the house full of breezy purpose, only to realize that you've left something really important at home? Well, that's how these guys feel all the time.
     
    ==== [[Serpent of Gallowmere]] ====
    This mean-spirited snake was always viewed as the lesser serpent sibling. It was always Kul Katura this, and Kul Katura that!
     
    Well, if no one wants to worship him, let there be no worshippers at all!
     
    ==== [[Jabberwocky]] ====
    Many years ago, the foolish sorcerer [[Mazok the Muddled]] came into possession of a Dragon Egg. At this same time, Gallowmere was suffering under a terrible famine, and Mazok had been ordered by his king to seek out a magical solution. "If only the kingdom's scrawny chickens could lay eggs the size of a dragon egg," thought Mazok, and he set about applying his questionable skills to transform the egg.
     
    Several days later, the kingdom had been saved! The hatched chicken-dragon - or Jabberwocky as it came to be known - possessed the ferocity of a dragon and the dim wit of a chicken. It rampaged through the kingdom on a murderous spree and killed so many that even the meager harvest was enough to sustain the survivors (as they mourned their loved ones).
     
    The Jabberwocky was finally chased from the land by the hero [[Dirk Steadfast]], who poked it with his magic sword.
     
    ===Bosses===
    ====[[Zarok]]====
    It is said that Zarok's preoccupation with necromancy stems from an obsession to resurrect his childhood puppy.
     
    Let's just reflect for a moment: isn't that just tragic? All this poor, troubled soul has ever wanted is to command the forces of darkness, enslave mankind, and play ball one last time with dear old Mr Snuffy.


    ==== [[Guardians of the Graveyard]] ====
    ===== Morten the Earthworm =====
    Humanity's last line of defense against the restless undead. They prevent boney beings from escaping to the land of the living.

    Four entries are available from the start:

    Friendlies

    Sir Daniel Fortesque

    Our bone-headed protagonist, born again into this Age of Wonders! In life he was just the worst: a coward, a cheat, a philatelist (or was it a philanderer... I don’t recall). But either way, he seems to have woken up… different?

    Perhaps he can redeem himself? Zarok should be more careful where he aims his dark magic.

    Morten the Earthworm

    Morten was so happy when Dan died. Surely, he initially had a lot of housework to do, but now he’s got the place to himself, and just how he likes it.

    Of course, Dan coming back to life was a bit of a shock, but Morten will do anything he can to keep his home-buddy safe (and get him back to the earthy darkness as quickly as possible).

    Information Gargoyles

    Can you imagine how boring it would be to be a sentient being - wise even - and be stuck permanently to a brick wall? No wonder these guys are grumpy.

    They pass time by eavesdropping, gossiping, and bad-mouthing any bizarre looking adventurers that might pass by.

    Bosses

    Zarok

    It is said that Zarok’s preoccupation with necromancy stems from an obsession to resurrect his childhood puppy.

    Let’s just reflect for a moment: isn’t that just tragic? All this poor, troubled soul has ever wanted is to command the forces of darkness, enslave mankind, and play ball one last time with dear old Mr Snuffy.

    Behind the scenes

    Development

    There is no equivalent item in the original MediEvil. However, there was a similar bestiary in MediEvil: Resurrection in the form of An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters, a book that can be accessed from Dan's Crypt.

    In a PlayStation Underground video comparing the original Asylum Grounds level and the remade one, Nick Accordino revealed that the book's entries were written with input from Chris Sorrell, the original game's director and producer.[1]
