There are many creatures throughout Yliakum, in here you will find information on both ferocious (and not so ferocious) creatures as well as rogues and other vile characters.

Wild Animals

Rarely are wild animals found in large cities except for rats which come and infest the sewers and cellars. These animals are often the best for people seeking to train since they range from simple creatures such as rats to extremely powerful monsters such as ulbernauts. Because of this, some creatures have been brought to the Hydlaa Arena so that various people can fight them without having to look for them.

Barn Bouncetails are insects. Although not rare, they are not very common either. Barn Bouncetails originally come from The Barn, the second level. Just like many other insects, they eat plants, however they seem to like some kind of rare flowers, making them very much disliked in the gardener's community. Luckily for gardeners, Barn Bouncetails flee at the odour of consumer pheromones, since consumers are one of their natural enemy.

Carkarass

Picture is of a once powerful mage who had been transformed into a Poison Carkarass after a failed revenge attempt.

Carkarass are the only type of flying creatures along with pterosaurs and megarases. They are seldom seen in the world of the living, but many people coming back from the Death Realm comment to have seen these flying around. Not much is known of them, all scientists know is that they live in the death realm and that they fly.

Appearance
A feathered, flying creature with two tails.
Strength
Not a hindrance to any experienced adventurer, but amateurs should beware.
Natural Habitat
They are occasionally seen roaming around the Death Realm


Poison Carkarass

Poison Carkarass.
Appearance
A Poison Carkarass resembles a lot like a normal Carkarass. Most people cannot distinguish one from the other
Strength
Poison Carkarasses are far stronger then a normal Carkarass, so beware when engaging a fight with them.
Natural Habitat
Just like the normal Carkarass, they live in the Death Realm.


Fire Carkarass

A Fire Carkarass in the Death Realm.
Appearance
They Fire Carkarasses are identical to other Carkarasses however, they can be distinguished by their fiery colour
Strength
Fire Carkarasses are as strong as Poison Carkarasses
Natural Habitat
Fire Carkarasses live with all other species of Carkarasses, in the Death Realm.


Clackers

A small clacker

Clackers are very closely related to crabs. Just like them, they have a hard exoskeleton. This exoskeleton gives them protection and makes them very robust. Their two front limbs transformed into razor-sharp blades used to inflict serious damage to anyone who comes to close to them.

Appearance
An instect-like creature resembling an over-sized hermit crab.
Strength
Fairly stupid and not a serious threat to persons of experience.
Natural Habitat
The arena has a fairly large population of these, but many are also found in sewers and dungeons throughout Yliakum. Clackers are sometimes hunted for their meat, which is used to prepare many flavourful dishes.


Thunderclackers

A Thunderclacker

Thunderclackers are, unlike common clackers, blue in colour. They also make a lot more noise, which is why they are called thunderclackers.

Apperance
Just like Clackers only with royal blue and silvery grey.
Strength
Natural Habitat
Thunderclackers are found in the wilds and are far less common near towns than common clackers.

Consumers

A Consumer.

Consumers are rarely seen and little is known of them. It has been only in recent years that consumer have been spotted in any numbers, and scientists speculate that they arrived via the great pits in which the dead are thrown. They will eat anything which fits in their large, round mouth, and some people claim that consumers have the ability to "upgrade" themselves from what they eat. For example, if they eat intelligent creatures, they will themselves become more intelligent.

Appearance
A being with a large, insectoid body and a massive maw of needle-like teeth.
Strength
Consumers are aptly named due to the fact that they can eat and digest almost any known substance and have a constant, ravaging hunger. It is rumored that the only thing consumers cannot digest are certain types of magical weapons and armor, although this information has never been confirmed first hand. Although Consumers have no eyes, they possess an uncanny ability to find prey using some strange sensory organs unknown to the peoples of Yliakum.
Natural Habitat
Consumers are rare, but can be found in the wilds between Hydlaa and the Eagle Bronze Doors. Some have been spotted near the road between Hydlaa and Ojaveda as well.

Gobbles

An image of a gobble edited to reveal its true appearance.

Gobbles are unpleasant creatures living in Hydlaa's sewers and probably other dark places. They are semi-intelligent and display a certain amount of cunning. It is said among scientists that they can even speak to each other. Their longs limbs allow them to run quickly as well as to attack any creatures passing by.

Appearance
A short, humanoid creature with mottled skin and a nasty disposition. These beings can be dangerous to the young and inexperienced. They have limited intelligence, but sometimes can be communicated with if one speaks their native tongue.
Strength
Natural Habitat
They have been found in the labyrinthine sewers of Hydlaa City.


Eagle Gobbles

An Eagle Gobble in the wild

Eagle Gobbles are identical in build to the common gobble, however, they have tattoos and some jewelery. Those Gobbles belong to the "Eagle" clan. This of course means that they have a fairly high degree of intelligence.

Appearance
Similar to a common gobble, only with red tattoos and some jewelery.
Strength
Unknown.
Natural Habitat
Eagle Gobbles are found in the wild areas of Yliakum.

Serpent Gobbles

A Serpent Gobble in the Nature

Serpent Gobbles are identical to Eagle Gobbles only Serpent Gobbles belong to the Serpent Clan. Serpent Clan members generally have more jewelery and less tattoos. They are also much more orange.

Appearance
just like common gobbles, only orange and with a lot of jewelery.
Strength
Natural Habitat
Serpent Gobbles live in the nature.


Grendol

A Grendol creature in the Arena
Appearance
A foul beast that reeks of death.
Strength
Although it is not very intelligent, it has very heavy limbs which can easily inflict serious damage to most unskilled fighters.
Natural Habitat
This abomination dwells in dungeons and dark places, preying upon the unwary. Most are of a malignant nature, although there are rumors about the existence of an intelligent, neutral being resembling a Grendol existing somewhere in one of the nether realms.


Rats

I one-eyed rat found in the sewers

Most certainly the commonest creature in Yliakum, rats have become a pest in the large towns. They proliferate where food is freely available, and tend to always find a way to it. They will eat the rotting corpses in sewers as well as the fresh meet in someone's cupboard. They will attack people if they get too close, however they are so inoffensive that kids often tease them just for fun.

Appearance
Rats in this world are quite large creatures with greyish fur. They have one eye and a skinny tail. They attack you with their sharp teeth, a Rat's bite can be quite painful, though it does not deal too much damage to you.
Strength
Due to the fact that they are quite easy to defeat, they are a good start for weaker fighters to get some experience and practice.
Natural Habitat
Rats can be found in the sewers of Hydlaa or the warehouse district of Ojaveda.


Wrathrats

A wrathrat in the death realm

Wrathrats are very much like rats in shape, however, their appearance is dramatically different. Only half of the head has flesh, the other is just skeleton, their bodies skinned, bare muscles open to the air and held together in places with coarse stitchings. It is unsure whether they feed or not since they do not seem to be alive by natural ways. Some speculate that a sorcerer enchanted some rats to never be able to rest in peace.

Appearance
Wrathrats have the same physical shape, but their fur is of a bloody red and and their skin holds on their skeleton only by a few stitches here and there.
Strength
Wrathrats are far more powerful then common rats, and with their big claws can inflict serious damage to anyone who is not careful.
Natural Habitat
Unlike the common rats, they live in the Death Realm, and they have never been seen in Yliakum.


Tefusang

A Tefusang creature in the Arena
Appearance
A large nasty beast with leathery skin, horned appendages, and two large tentacles hanging from their torso.
Strength
The potential strength of this breed varies widely, ranging from average to almost supernatural strength. A good adventurer would be wary when approaching one of these creatures, because it is hard to judge the level of threat just from appearance. Tefusang's leathery skin and teeth are valued for both armor and alchemical formulas and can fetch a modest price from many merchants.
Natural Habitat
Tefusangs are seen throught Yliakum. Although fairly common, they tend to avoid highly populated places and prefer areas which are rarely accessed. There is also a colony which has been brought to the arena for anyone who would like to train.


Marfusang

A Marfusang.

An intelligent and hostile creature resembling a spider, but with a human face.
Strength
Trepors are foul beings and some are even rumored to be able to use magic. Trepors are difficult, but not impossible to slay.
Natural Habitat
They dwell in the wilds for the most part, although a colony of them was established for training purposes in the Hydlaa Arena. One can fetch a very nice fee for the hearts of these monsters from animal part merchants.


Ulbernauts

An ulbernaut
Appearance
Ulbernauts are vicious and extremely powerful beasts.
Strength
One of the deadliest creatures in all of Yliakum, Ulbernauts stand over four meters tall, have two massively clawed arms, a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth, a thick coat of near impenetrable shaggy fur, and they can strike at close range with lightning speed. Their one weakness is that they are slow to move across terrain. Even the most experienced adventurer treads lightly around these beasties.
Natural Habitat
Rarely encountered, they tend to nest in places far from civilization.

Ulbernauts parts are valued for many things. Their hides and claws are highly valuable to fur and animal part traders, while their hearts are prized by magicians and priests as a component for ritual magic.

Domesticated Animals

Domesticated animals are creatures which have been adapted to work or to just hold company. The most common animals to hold company are the Groffel and the Yulbar, however some people might want a pet clacker. Animals like the Pterosaur, the Goujah and the Megaras aren't often kept as pets, however they are very practical

Goujah

The goujah is a type of cattle animal used to pull things. They are often used to transport heavy material from on town to an other and they are also used in the Winch.

NOTE: Not much is known about the Goujah as yet since the Dev team has not released much information about them

Groffel

A domestic Groffel

At this time, Groffels are usually summon from magical rings from the Netherworld. They are known for their high intelligence, sometimes known to have helped mine ores and attacking foes. Groffels are usually kept for enjoyment. It is said that when they grow larger and older then they develop the ability to fly, since no-one has been able to cultivate a groffel for this long, this has never been proven. Groffels are sometimes used to carry messages from place to place.

A Kikiri

Kikiris are small chook-like animals. They have wings, however they are rarely seen flying.

Appearance
A small bird much like our world's chicken.
Strength
Kikiris can be fairly easily killed, however they can provide good training for kids learning how to attack.
Natural Habitat
Kikiris' natural habitat is unknown, they might have been in Yliakum from before it was uninhabited or they might have been taken in Yliakum with the first settlers.


Megaras

File:Megaras.jpg
Picture to be added

Megaras are large bat-like flying creatures dating from even before the pterosaur. They are only found in Yliakum, and therefore, some scientists believe that they have been genetically mutated by the Crystal. Megaras are stronger and tougher then pterosaurs making them ideal to carry goods, however, they cannot carry people nor can they transport precious goods since they are too rough. Just like with pterosaurs, a person can only have in his or her possession one megaras.

Pterosaur

Picture to be added

Pterosaurs are large, flying creatures used to carry a single passenger. They are a species of reptiles which have developed a membrane in order to fly. in average, Pterosaurs are about three to six metres.They are Riding a Pterosaur is the most luxurious, most expensive and quickest way of traveling. Luxurious because you get to sit the whole time while admiring the view and expensive because the Pterosaurs have to be trained for about 3 years before they can carry anyone safely. It is also a very quick firstly because you are flying, but also because it is possible to fly from one level to another without passing by the Winch. In order to avoid air congestion, a person can only have in his or her possession one pterosaur.

Yulbar

Yulbars are currently only found when magical rings are used to summon them. Yulbars are sometimes used to help mine ores and attack wild animals. Groffels are usually kept for enjoyment and unlike the Groffel, it is not used to carry messages often.
