Hedges, also called Topiaries, were soulless sentient topiary in the shape of animals and people found in the Asylum Grounds.

History

MediEvil

During Sir Dan's journey, the hedges pretended to be a part of the scenery, but they became hostile when he approached them. Other hedges were a part of Jack of the Green's riddles. There were several different types that Dan encountered:

Hedge Clown

The Hedge Clown was a part of Jack of the Green's second riddle. To solve it, Dan had to whack the sad mask stone slabs around the Clown with his sword until the happy masks surrounded the Clown. Successfully doing so made the Clown laugh in delight, which completed the riddle.

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

The Hedge Octopus was a part of Jack of the Green's third riddle. It was found guarding the entrance to the area where the Chaos Rune was located. All tentacles had to be taken down before its head could be destroyed.

Hedge Zarok

Hedge Zarok was a hedge replica of Zarok and a part of Jack of the Green's first riddle.

Behind the scenes

Development

MediEvil (1998 original)

Concept art of the hedges by Jason Wilson.

Concept art reveals further hedge types that were considered for the game, such as the Hedge Monk, Hedge Horse, and Hedge Vulture.

In the MediEvil Rolling Demo, the Grass House from the concept art stands in place of the Hedge Clown.^[2]

MediEvil (2019 remake)

In the original game, the Hedge Zarok's head was its only weak point. In the remake, the whole hedge is vulnerable.
