History
MediEvil
These madmen guard the Asylum Grounds. They went insane after the disappearance of the Head Monk of the Asylum. They can summon more of their kind by ringing bells throughout the maze.
Behind the scenes
Development
In concept art and early game versions such as the MediEvil Rolling Demo and the MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha, the monks are not undead, but human. Their design was further altered for the US release of the game where their costumes were retextured to look more like that of a gardener than a monk. According to the game's designer and lead artist Jason Wilson, this change was made due to cultural differences, specifically the deep religiosity of some areas of the United States.[2]
In the 2019 remake of the game they remain undead, appearing as they did in the European versions of the original game.
