  • The Haunting Statues wear White Mantle Outfits.
  • They wield White Mantle Hammers, obtainable from Xera's Chest.
  • They are not an intentional reference to the Weeping Angels of Doctor Who, whith a previous iteration during development instantly defeating players; but their mechanic was changed before release to teleport players back to the front of the maze, based on the Weeping Angels.[1]
