Background[edit | edit source]
The original announcement for the 3D monsters was made in 2002's "Korea Amuse World Game Expo 2002", which detailed several new features for Ragnarok Online. According to Japanese game site "Game WATCH" reporter Seiji Nakamura, Gravity mentioned that they were working on Version 3.0 of Ragnarok Online's engine, GFC. Among the announcements for various features was for "full polygon monsters"[2] . The intention of these monsters was to prove a challenge and require higher level characters in parties to band together in order to defeat them[2], noting that they would be tested on the Sakray server in January of 2003[2].
Nakamura also stated that at the time the Dragon Zombie was demonstrated, it was in a "debug mode" which caused it to deal only 1 damage.[2]
