    Severed Hands manifested in 1386 during Zarok's return. They re-emerged 500 years later during the Autumn of Death. Sir Dan eventually learnt a new ability which allowed him to control them using his head.

    Gameplay

    MediEvil

    Smashing a severed hand with a Club or Hammer rewards Dan with 1 to 2G.

    Book of Gallowmere entry

    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.[2][2.1]

    MediEvil 2

    This time, they cannot be smashed by Sir Dan at all, but can be used for the Dan-hand ability instead.

    Behind the scenes

    Development

    According to Tom Saunter, who served as a QA tester on the original game, Severed Hands used to deal damage. He compared them to low level enemies, such as the Goombas from the Super Mario series. He attributes the removal of this to himself.[3]
