===Development=== | |||
== | ====''MediEvil'' (1998 original)==== | ||
Merchant Gargoyles do not appear in pre-release versions of the game from 1997. It is therefore likely they were conceptualised after the game's Zeldaesque redesign. | |||
====''MediEvil 2''==== | |||
Merchant Gargoyles did not return in the second ''MediEvil''. They were instead replaced by [[The Spiv]] who provides the same services as they did. | |||
