Smeek
Smeek are tiny clowns with deep voices that roam around the Big Top. They wear white outfits with blue buttons, a red and blue lined frill, with red shoes and blue hats. Later in the level they appear in an ambulance styled clown car. Their weapon of choice is a large knife, but they also throw spiked balls and yellow bowling pins, for which they will switch knife hands to be able to throw. Smeek are one of the few humanoid enemies to have four fingers rather than five, the others being the Tinsels, Muertito and Krampus.
Despite being just regular enemies, they appear in most of CarnEvil's promotional images, as well as cabinet artwork and in the credits. A Smeek costume was created and can be seen in the game's flyer and the development team photograph. An image of Smeek is featured on the sides of the wagons in the Big Top, along with Mister Ozob and Mame. A poster in the Big Top reveals that their name used to be spelled Smeak at some point in development. An image from the Sneak Preview also shows that their blue hats used to have white spots on them. |
