The Eidolon is a neat little adventure game which reuses the fractal technology used in Lucasfilm Games' earlier Rescue on Fractalus! game.
Unused Enemy#
The disk release of the game has an unused enemy with seemingly complete data, contained in the file BI. It's possible to view it by modifying the game's level files (which start with L). Notably, it is seen in the game's box art.
In its active states, there appears to be three separate sprites for its head, five for each arm, and four for each leg, which alternate depending on its action.
