Behind the scenes

Development

Concept art and renders found on a press CD indicate that Octo-Rams were going to look quite different, with the Ram's eyes turning yellow, head turning green, and Octomator tentacles poking out of its mouth. The final design keeps the Octo-Rams largely unchanged with an Octomator simply stuck to the front of their head and can already be seen in MediEvil II 0.19, a version of the game from December 1999. The reason for this design change isn't known, but it may have been done due to being more memory efficient or simply because the difference between an Octo-Ram and regular Sewer Ram were not immediately obvious to players.
