Calvin the Camel, credited as Calvin T. Camel in MediEvil's credits, was SCEE Cambridge Studio's toy camel. He was brought into the office by James Busby who got him by trading in a Cadbury chocolate bar's competition tokens.[a][3][4] Busby considered Calvin to be "sort of the MediEvil mascot."[3]
The camel's tail was cut off and sown back on at a Christmas party.[4][5] Calvin was well-travelled, as team members would take him on holidays with them to places such as Portugal, Greece, America and South Africa.[3][4][6]
