Irrational Showcases BioShock Baddies That Never Surfaced

In Irrational Games' monthly feature "From the Vault," the team shares never-before-seen concept art from the likes of BioShock, Freedom Force and more. This month, Irrational shares enemy concept art that never made it into BioShock including that of the heavy-handed "Thug Aggressor" and the slimy, stringy leftovers of "Jelly Man." Check out the roster below.

Yam Hand

Thug Aggressor

Jelly Man

Monster Bug

Grub Mutant

In a previous Vault entry, Irrational explains the artistic process that led to the creation of our favorite tiny gatherers, Little Sisters, that started off with the idea of a dog in a wheelchair. For the full explanation of the BioShock concepts that could've been, check out their official site.

Which of these enemy types do you think should've made it into BioShock?

  • I think jellyman looks like he would've been a good addition to the game, I don't really like the rest of them.

  • All of these look at home in Dead Space.

    I would love for these to be in the SP DLC for Bioshock 2.

  • YAM HAND!

  • good thing they left those out.

  • Staff

    Awesome!

  • These guys look like they'd be in Fallout or something. Anyway...

    YAM HAND!!!

  • Awesome^^

  • Is Jellyman water based? If he was, I don't think he would have lasted very long in a sunken underwater city... just a thought. Ha ha.

  • JellyMan looks cool!

  • yam hand all the way. honestly, i think the game is lacking some diversity so i believe jellyman and yam hand should have appeared.

  • Look to mutant-y to be in Bioshock.

  • yeah these look more like necromorphs than anything. jellyman wouldve been kinda cool though.  

  • those guy would of been fun to fight!!

  • the jellyman looks cool.

  • Would've really liked to squash bugman, he looks like he needs it

  • Jellyman would've been awesome.

  • What? Those are literally insane!Why would they think they belong in Bioshock at all!!!

    Looks like they could be in Silent Hill...or Dead Space

  • I was actually thinking Dead Space or Left 4 Dead while looking at these.

  • All of these guys look like they would have added substantialy to the games creep value.

  • The first one is the only one that looks like it would "fit". I still don't like it though and I'm glad they left them all out.
