Early Models#

Scamp Sprites#

In prerelease images from the Battlespire E3 1997 press kit, two screenshots of Scamps showcase an earlier rendition of their digitized 3D model sprite. Most noticeably, their legs are much more flesh-like in this preview, instead of the darker, implied hair/fur of the final version of the sprite. Additionally, the shape of the head and ears are noticeably different from the final release.

Early Spider Daedra#

As seen in the E3 1997 trailer for Battlespire, the Spider Daedra had a different face, and originally had much darker, gray skin on their "human" parts. They additionally do not have any hair in this early version of the monster, while the final game would showcase the Spider Daedra with luscious locks.
