8 Weirdest Enemies Cut From Video Games
3. Dung Beetle (Mother 3)
By using a series of exploits and mods to hack into Mother 3 on the Game Boy Advance, players discovered the existence of a battle against an unused enemy, one that goes by a collection of seemingly random names such as Dung Beetle, Tent Person, and Clayman.
This particular character has been the subject of much discussion and speculation within the Mother community, because it's not actually clear why it exists within the game at all.
Some think that it's a darker alternate version of the final battle, and a lot think that it's meant to be a warped version of protagonist Lucas' twin brother, Claus, since the model does resemble that of a small humanoid figure.
Whatever it may be, this enemy will constantly switch between several grotesque forms (with one of those aforementioned random names given to each), culminating with a large screaming face filling the screen. Hackers have also noticed a chilling breathing sound that goes along with this battle, making the whole encounter incredibly spooky.
It's not surprising this was cut, considering Mother 3 was published by the (usually) family-friendly Nintendo.
