Cut Content[]

Fable: The Lost Chapters - Russell Shaw claimed that most of the enemies and bosses in Fable were meant to have a certain tune that would play when they attacked the Hero, which would work in contrast to the game's soundtrack. However, this feature was restricted to the Wasp Queen in the final release of the game.
