Was this local legend used for testing the Monstadt Chess Boss mechanics?

I couldn't help but notice how their gimmick is pretty much the same as the Monstadt Chess Boss gimmick, and I wonder if they added these two into the game to test for enemies colliding with themselves or something so that there wouldnt be any bugs when releasing the chess boss, and also for players to give feedback if something was "off" about them

Probably? I'd also say that it's an interesting mechanic so they probably didn't want to waste it on a local legend everyone might not interact with

Nice spot! Game devs do stuff like this a lot. Implementing tester mechanics in places that are less noticeable make the inevitable bugs and coding mistakes that come with trying new things easier to manage and smoother to implement when it comes time to use mechanics for their intended purpose.
