9 Mysterious Creatures Hidden In Famous Video Games

6. The Moving Statues - The Witcher 3

Like Dragon Age: Inquisition, the world of The Witcher 3 is stuffed to the gills with an assortment of fantasy creatures, but one particularly sneaky inclusion caught the eyes of players back when the game first launched: a couple of moving statues.

Only visible in one specific part of the game's enormous world, players first had to finish the Lindenvale contract called Monster In The Cemetery, which concluded with a fight against a grave hag. Upon killing the hag, finishing the mission and heading to the cemetery where the fight took place, two angel statues can be seen standing outside the small building.

What's even creepier is that these status move if you take your eyes off them. A reference to Doctor Who's Weeping Angels - ancient beings that turn to stone when they're being observed, but can move at lightning speeds if you look away - The Witcher 3's version can't harm you, but they will creep you the hell out and make you want to get out of there as quickly as possible. Don't blink!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
