The Swamp Guardian was going to be a boss in one of the game's mud-themed levels.<ref name="blog"/> Concept art reveals that the boss fight would have taken place on top of his head. Dan had to destroy all of the guardian's eyes in order to defeat him. This was complicated by tentacle tongues lashing out at Dan from the guardian's many mouths as well as the opening at the top of the guardian's head, which Dan could get sucked into. In that event, the guardian would have blown mud out of the opening, launching Dan into the air and injuring him.{{Siteref|atomic-city|artwork/Medievil_gallery/medievil_swamps_concept_design.htm|medievil_swamps_concept_design|2008|quote=The weird creature in the middle was an abandoned design for the swamp boss, he was a gigantic creature that rose from the swamps, occasionally blowing a fountain of mud out from his blow hole and if Dan is not careful he would have been blown up into the air and injured.|author=Wilson, Jason}} Dan also had to be careful not to fall off the guardian's head, as that would have cost him a life. | |||
