20 years later, God of War's original monster art has been revealed: behold this army of stick figures slapped on a whiteboard, no clue Kratos is coming for them

God of War.

Please remember that an initial sketch should be just that, a simple, quick drawing. Sony Santa Monica has been sharing tidbits of God of War history to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary, and the latest and final one is that director David Jaffe drew all of the original's enemies as stick figures on a whiteboard. Buckle up, because they look hilarious.

First up, there's a big guy with a sword. I think this is meant to be Ares, the god of war you fight at the epic climax of the game. Next up, there's a stickman with a small sword, and another with a sword and shield. I think these are the legionnaires, the fodder that you fight throughout most of the game. To be fair, they are just gaunt dudes with weapons, so these stick figures are pretty accurate.
