    "A very silly looking monster. Children love funny monsters with lots of eyes and bum holes to make fart noises!"
    ― Jason Wilson, about the Swamp Guardian.[3]
    Concept art of the Swamp Guardian boss fight.

    The Swamp Guardian was going to be a boss in one of the game's mud-themed levels.[3] Concept art reveals that the boss fight would have taken place on top of his head. Dan had to destroy all of the guardian's eyes in order to defeat him. This was complicated by tentacle tongues lashing out at Dan from the guardian's many mouths as well as the opening at the top of the guardian's head, which Dan could get sucked into. In that event, the guardian would have blown mud out of the opening, launching Dan into the air and injuring him.[4] Dan also had to be careful not to fall off the guardian's head, as that would have cost him a life.

    It is unknown whether the tentacles in the Pools of the Ancient Dead level were always intended to be the Swamp Guardian's or whether this is entirely the invention of the 2019 remake of the game.
