An image of [[Zarok]] can be found in [[creatures:Albia|Albia]]. This is because the backgrounds for the world of ''Creatures'' were composited by [[Jason Riley]] who also rendered all the [[full motion video]]s for ''MediEvil''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.artificial-lens.com/aaa-games/|title=Successful multi million selling AAA-games I have worked on.|site=Artificial Lens|retrieved=August 28, 2024|author=Riley, Jason}}</ref> | An image of [[Zarok]] can be found in [[creatures:Albia|Albia]].

The character Florean Fortescue, an expert on medieval witch burnings, is named after Sir Dan. This is because the [[wikipedia:J.K. Rowling|author]] met ''MediEvil'' programmer [[Matt Johnson]] on a train where they discussed what they were working on.{{TwitterRef|Wilson|1599803569074339848|December 5, 2022|quote= Not sure if this has ever been spoken of before… But did you know that there is a connection between Harry Potter and MediEvil? | |||
When we were making the game one of our Game Programmers ‘Matty’ was on a train sat looking over design ideas next to the then unknown JK Rowling.}}{{TwitterRef|Wilson|1599805285572280322|December 5, 2022|quote= The two got chatting and Rowling asked Matty what he was working on and Matty described MediEvil to her. Inspired by the game’s hero, she told Matty she was writing a fantasy series and homaged a character as ‘Fortescue’ in her books as a ‘Medieval historian of witchcraft.’}} | |||
