Trivia
- The Giggling Minister is almost directly adapted from the third panel of the triptych "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch somewhere between 1490-1510.[1]
- Creative liberties taken with the Giggling Minister in Brutal Orchestra include decreasing the Minister's number of fingers from 4 to 3, removing the Minister's eyelashes as they did not read well in sprite art, decreasing the size of the cauldron on the Minister's head, removing the extremely long cloth tied around the Minister's waist and removing the large water droplet being defecated by the Minister.[1]
- Talia isn't sure if the Minister is wearing the V-striped band seen in the Garden of Earthly Delights in Brutal Orchestra as the angle he is seen from would kind of hide it anyways.[1]
- The Giggling Minister's name comes from Talia consistently misremembering the Fat Official enemy from the video game Demon's Souls (2009) as being named the Giggling Minister.[1]
- The Giggling Minister was cut from Brutal Orchestra's launch by a matter of days due to being too complicated to animate while many final bosses still required critical animation work. The Giggling Minister was ultimately added in Brutal Orchestra's second patch "Who's Laughing Now".[1]
- Giggling Ministers are the most intelligent beings in all of Purgatory being in possession of esoteric and divine knowledge that would make the greatest philosophers and scientists weep. The Ministers however do nothing with this knowledge and instead spend their days enacting cruel and unusual tricks on unsuspecting humans.[1]
- Giggling Ministers are capable of playing a decapitated human head like a sort of "wet whistle" this is done by driving the Ministers spiny tongue through the newly created opening into the esophagus and into the human sinus, if done correctly the Minister can temporarily play a noise that sounds similar to an Aztec death whistle through the decapitated head. This improvised instrument does not last very long as the head will deteriorate quickly due to being voided of its contents.[1]
- The Giggling Minister can imitate human speech but never attempts communication beyond vulgarities and repeating the final words of its victims incessantly.[1]
- Much like real life owls, Giggling Ministers will regurgitate a pellet containing the hard parts of their consumed victims after feeding.[1]
- A group of Giggling Ministers is called a clergy.[1]
