Rejected Ganado designs

During the development of Shinji Mikami's Resident Evil 4 a number of Ganado designs were considered and rejected.

Cultists
An enemy known as the "Arcanist" went through at least two different designs before being rejected. In both designs it has three heads and two pairs of hands per arm. In the first design it wears a white robe with black iconography. In its right arm is a forked tentacle which can spray a gas. The second design has no such tentacle, and its robes have switched colours, but the iconography is the same.
