Tumbling Torsos are undead enemies that were removed from MediEvil.[3] They can be seen in an early trailer found on the PlayStation Plus Video Preview 1997 VHS. The Tumbling Torsos were intended to appear in the Pumpkin Gorge,[4] Cemetery Hill,[5] and possibly The Graveyard level.[3]

The Tumbling Torso entity is present in both the MediEvil Rolling Demo and the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha.[1.1][2.1] However, their model is only present in the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha.[2.2] Given their lack of an actual presence in either version, it can be assumed that they were cut at an earlier point in development.
