Creatures

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.

The carapace is purple with large green spots, the legs are blue.

Due to their brittle forms, Frost Arangmas are fairly easy to defeat. Mages beware, however. Due to it's predilection for the cold, attempting to freeze this creature to death is unlikely to work.

Spending most of its time skulking around, a weaver arangma may often crawl away rather than seeking a fight with a potential aggressor.

Due to their brittle exo-skeletal structure, weaver arangmas are fairly easy to defeat. However their shell is tougher than a forest arangma's.

Grimy areas such as the Hydlaa Sewer

This subspecies of arangma can be found in the darkest, deepest shadows.

Domesticated Animals

Domesticated animals are creatures which have been adapted to work or to just provide company. Of the latter, the most common species are the Groffel and the Yulbar. However, there are some people who might want a clacker for a pet. Animals like the Pterosaur, the Goujah and the Megaras aren't often kept as pets, but as working beasts they are quite practical.

Malicious Characters

People seeking a fight can not only attack various creatures, they can also try to kill rogues, mercenaries and other vile characters. Some of this lot are extremely powerful and hard to vanquish, whereas others are weak enough to be defeated with little or no skill.

Brigands

Most bandits disguise themselves as ordinary civilians to get near merchants and make themselves hard to spot in a crowd.

Brigands make a living out of preying on the weak, but can be overpowered themselves.

Like Rogues, they wear dark clothes. Most people cannot differentiate one from the other.

Strength

Normally, they can be handled by a trained warrior, but the inexperienced should always beware.

Like rogues, they prefer the secret regions where not many people venture.
