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.

Strength

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.

A Weaver Arangma

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

Appearance

Purple body, with turquoise-blue legs and a vivid yellow and red marking on the carapace.

Strength

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

Vesper arangma

[ edit ]

A Vesper Arangma

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

A Sand Arangma

This subspecies of arangma can be found in sandy places, such as deserts.

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 as they are quite practical.
