Another thread of unused Dark Dawn stuff! This time, I have some early models and unused monsters!
I'll start with my favorite of the early Matt models

Another early Matt

This is the earliest Matt
It doesn't follow the naming conventions of the others, and is simply called "light"

This is an early model of Rief

"My djinn is in the top 1% of djinn!"

The unused Matt models don't actually render in the game properly, so you have to rip them and view them on their own

Next up, here are some of the unused monsters!
This one is called the "Stone Soldier"
It doesn't have any variants beyond the one you see here

Continuing on with some of the Stone Soldier's animations

More Stone Soldier animations

Not sure if the Stone Soldier has any attack animations beyond this one

Next up is the Manticore
It's worth noting, this isn't the Manticore itself, it's a model swap
No clue why the slimes look like that

The Manticore is actually a fully programmed enemy with a stat table, but its moveset and stats are really basic placeholder type stuff
It just lacks animations

Manticore in action

The Manticore will rotate without any animation to face its target

Some ability animations might be built into a monster's model

Next up are some unused variants of monsters
This is the Ghoul. It has the same animations as the Dark Devourer, it's just not evil

So, small explanation; a lot of these models are named in a way where you basically have monstername_a/b/c/d/e
So each letter corresponds to a variant.
But most monsters also have a "base" form that isn't numbered like that, and none of them are used

This Ghoul is literally just ghoul, while Dark Devourer and co. are numbered.
These base forms are usually copied for one of the numbered variants, but some have small differences.

An example of these differences:
This has the coloration of a normal Kobold, but the shield pattern is that of the Kobold King

These have a different shield

Red Merman with the Blue Merman's weapon

Ancient Devil

Skeleton

Zombie

Willowisp

Ghost

The two smaller ones have the filename "gale" while the big one is "gele"

Momanger, an evil Momonga
It's a fully programmed and functional enemy, but is stat wise weaker than Squirrelfang
It rewards 121 experience points when killed

To finish off, I have a couple updates(?) from the last unused Dark Dawn thread
Turns out Matt is too tall to properly fit through Kalay's doors

Finally, here's a gif of one of the unused psynergy test rooms!
