    Mad Farmers, also known as Hay Monsters. were inhabitants of the Scarecrow Fields. Gallowmere's declining population had decreased a need for crops which drove them mad.[3][3.1]

    Gameplay

    Strategy

    "Now for our next enemy, the Hay Monster. Use your Small Sword against them as well when they come at you. Usually, there are at least two to three per haystack."
    MediEvil: The Official Strategy Guide

    The mad farmers hide in haystacks throughout the fields. Upon Sir Dan's approach toward a haystack, they jump out and attack him with their pitchforks. Slashing them with the Broad Sword is one of the easiest ways to kill them.

    Book of Gallowmere entry

    Nothing comes easy for these poor farmers. As Gallowmere’s population declines, so does the demand for their crops.

    It's no wonder they hide in haystacks. Show them some sympathy and let them stab you a couple of times, eh?[3.1]

    An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters entry

    These walking bails of hay are amongst the most vicious of Gallowmere's enchanted beasts. These guys are not subtle or crafty, far from it, they just want to spike people with their pitchfork as much (and as quickly) as possible. Thankfully these aggressive yoiks have a big weakness, yep you've guessed it, one itsy flame and they light up like a fireworks factory.[2.1]

    Behind the scenes

    MediEvil (1998 original)

    In an early version of the game seen in a promotional trailer, the farmers came out of hay wagons instead of haystacks.

    MediEvil: Resurrection

    The farmers were replaced by literal hay monsters in MediEvil: Resurrection. However, outside of their appearance, they remain functionally the same.
