'''Morten''' is a friendly worm that lives inside [[Dan]]'s skull in ''[[MediEvil]]''. | '''Morten''' is a friendly worm that lives inside [[Dan]]'s skull in ''[[MediEvil]]'' and its [[MediEvil (PS4)|remake]]. In the original game, he is only seen during [[9AV]] [[full motion video]]. He can also be seen in the game's [[7AV|unused FMV]], and was to play a larger role in the game. Morten was replaced by [[Al-Zalam]] in ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]''. | ||

Morten was so happy when Dan died. Surely, he initially had a lot of housework to do, but now he's got the place to himself, and just how he likes it. | |||
Of course, Dan coming back to life was a bit of a shock, but Morten will do anything he can to keep his home-buddy safe (and get him back to the earthy darkness as quickly as possible). | |||

According to a book in [[MediEvil (PS4)|the remake]], Morten is described as being rather happy when Dan had died, as it gave him a new home. He is mostly unbothered by Dan coming back to life and is willing to help him, but mostly so Dan can go back to his eternal rest. | According to a book in [[MediEvil (PS4)|the remake]], Morten is described as being rather happy when Dan had died, as it gave him a new home.

Morten would have had to navigate a range of obstacles and there would have been a few funny moments such as inching your way across the bare feet of prisoners (tickling them in the process) who would have been hanging upside down in racks.<ref>{{cite web|site=atomic-city|title=''MediEvil'' concept design|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20080321020515/http://www.atomic-city.co.uk/pages/artwork/Medievil_gallery/medievil_morten_concept_design.htm}} Archived at the [http://archive.org/web/ Wayback Machine Internet Archive].</ref> The unused FMV was a prelude to this level.
