-In their initial concept art and the ''[[MediEvil Rolling Demo]]'', the monks sport a human appearance, instead of an undead one. This was likely altered to avoid religious backlash. Their design was further altered for the US release of the game where their costumes were retextured to look more like that of a gardener than a monk. According to developer [[Jason Wilson]], this change was made due to cultural differences, as some areas of the US were thought to be deeply religious.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jay Gunn|site=Twitter|quote=We might speak the same language but there are cultural differences between the UK and the US.

+In concept art and early game versions such as the ''[[MediEvil Rolling Demo]]'' and the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', the monks are not undead, but human. Their design was further altered for the US release of the game where their costumes were retextured to look more like that of a gardener than a monk. According to the game's designer and lead artist [[Jason Wilson]], this change was made due to cultural differences, specifically the deep religiosity of some areas of the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jay Gunn|site=Twitter|quote=We might speak the same language but there are cultural differences between the UK and the US.
