The Iron Demon is a mecha boss that was initially supposed to appear in Oni, but was cut | The Iron Demon is a mecha boss that was initially supposed to appear in Oni, making a notable appearance in the [[1999|1999 trailer]], but was cut during development as [[Bungie West]] raced to finish the game. According to 3D animator Steve Abeyta, "It was scrapped because it would take too long to create a custom AI, and gameplay for it. We had to cut a lot of stuff to get [Oni] shipped, and cutting that one sucked. […] Such a large character created AI pathfinding problems as well as issues with object interaction. They're not impossible to overcome, but we didn't have the time to tackle it." | ||

The model for the Iron Demon was not included in the released game data like some other "cut" content was, and we don't have its animations either (though Abeyta recalled only making "a walk cycle, firing anims, and possibly turning anims"). The walking sounds for the Iron Demon were in fact included as SNDDid_leg_2.aif, SNDDid_leg_1.aif and SNDDid_leg_3.aif, as well as SNDDid_r_hit1.aif, SNDDid_r_hit2.aif, SNDDid_r_hit3.aif and SNDDid_r_hit4.aif (or are these latter sounds something else like the impact sounds for hits on the Iron Demon from heavy weaponry?). | |||
