Torso Creatures were one type of Limb Creatures created by Professor Hamilton Kift. They were dangerous mutants that the Professor released into the London Underground.

History

In March 1885, Professor Hamilton Kift attempted to reanimate several body parts, which he successfully managed to do. Unfortunately, the body parts mutated into creatures he was unable to control and was forced to release into the London Underground. A year later, the Professor sent Sir Daniel Fortesque to hunt them down in order to build a monster for a boxing match against Lord Palethorn's champion, the Iron Slugger.

Gameplay

Overview

Torso Creatures are prone to running away after being hit. They have two attacks, a swiping attack and a spit attack. Once defeated, a Torso Creature will drop the Torso, which will expire in 20 seconds and must thus be taken to the Professor as soon as possible.

Behind the scenes

Development

Concept art.

Concept art of Torso Creatures features a long tongue coming out of their mouths which is notably absent in the game. The torso also appears a lot greener than in the final version of the game, where it is more yellow.
