The monks' 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. This is also reflected by their name in the US guide book being "the Grounds Keepers." 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.
