Scarecrows are one of several enemy types who do not appear in the Undead Carnival mini game Pit o' Death in MediEvil: Resurrection.
An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters entry
The first time one sees these creatures casually gliding around they might be forgiven for thinking they are quite charming, elegant even, that would be a very big mistake. At a moments notice they can turn into a terrifying combat machine, clawing arms rotating like a force ten tornado, and set on crashing into their sorry target with technical precision. If one's general combat skills are suspect it may prove prudent to set them on fire as soon as is possible - well, they are stuffed with dry straw, you do the maths!

They have teamed up with the crows to protect their cornfield home from strangers, whom they greet with sharp, spinning affection.
Behind the scenes
Development
MediEvil (1998 original)
In early pre-release versions of MediEvil such as the MediEvil Rolling Demo, scarecrows had two legs to walk on. They weren't as aggressive either, due to the lack of a spinning attack, but they still released crows from their coats to attack Dan.
MediEvil: Resurrection
Scarecrows were reconceptualised by artist Mark Gibbons. He was also responsible for creating their model, which was one of the first he created.[1]
