Trivia[]
- They share their sprite model with Legion, named "Tower Salesman". They use different color palettes, which are named "Shadow Salesman" in the game's files. They also share the same portrait with the same color palettes.
- Myriad, the Mysterious Costume Salesperson of Pocket Dungeon, is another being made out of the same shadowy figures found inside Manny and Legion[1].
- Manny's name is a play on the word "many" as they are made up of "many" smaller creatures.
- Additionally, with Manny's Curio counterpart Legion, they are clearly a reference to the Biblical passage Mark 5:9, whereas Jesus Christ of Nazarene meets a being in the valley of shadows, and upon asking it's name, the being responds with "My name is Legion, for we are many."
- In the second flashback stage, at the same location where Manny will be, there are some similar small creatures in that room. They will just flee when Donovan comes close.
- In the ending, if Manny was given enough gold to appear, they will be in the line of monsters waiting to be paid by Treasure Knight. If not, only two small dark creatures will be there.
