'''Maggots''' are enemies that were removed from ''[[MediEvil]]''. They were to feature in the [[Scarecrow Fields]] and [[Pumpkin Gorge]] levels. As their name suggests, they are large maggot creatures. They were capable of burrowing underground, and after erupting from the ground, they would spit projectiles at [[Dan]].

They can be found in the final of the ''[[MediEvil Rolling Demo]]'' and the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]''.

It is possible to hack a Maggot into the game as their entity is present in the PG overlay and their textures and model are in the Pumpkin Gorge VLO and WAD respectively. However, they don't seem to be fully implemented, as they do not burrow into the ground, only thrash around in place. Killing a Maggot awards Dan with 125 [[points]].

==Behind the scenes==
===Development===
Two models of Maggots appear in the ''MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha''. One is used in the Pumpkin Gorge level and another is in a separate, unused WAD. This second, unused version seems a lot more finished, as the head of the maggot is much more intricately textured. It is also not segmented; the whole model consists of only a single part, unlike the used model, which has six parts. However, the unused model only has one animation (idle/thrashing animation).
