Characteristics
Appearance
Morten is a purple earthworm who is about the length of Dan's finger. Like all earthworms his body is segmented. He has purple eyes and a little smile. In the PS4 Remake, his eyes are blue.
Personality
According to a book in the remake, Morten is described as being rather happy when Dan had died, as it gave him a new home. He is mostly unbothered by Dan coming back to life and is willing to help him, but mostly so Dan can go back to his eternal rest.
Development
|
Morten was to have gotten a whole level to himself as he undertakes a perilous mission to steal a door key from the abbey of the mad monks. Morten would have had to navigate a range of obstacles and there would have been a few funny moments such as inching your way across the bare feet of prisoners (tickling them in the process) who would have been hanging upside down in racks.[1] The unused FMV was a prelude to this level. The unused track was also written for this level.[2]

Trivia
Etymology
- The name "Morten" is an Old Danish, Old Swedish and modern variant form of Martin.[3] Martin is derived from the Roman name Martinus, which was derived from Martis, the genitive case of the name of the Roman god Mars.[4] Mars is possibly related to maris, the genitive case of Latin mas, meaning 'male'.[5]
Miscellaneous
- In the original game, he is only seen during 9AV full motion video. He can also be seen in the game's unused FMV, and was to play a larger role in the game.
- Morten was replaced by Al-Zalam in MediEvil: Resurrection.
