Creatures
So you are looking for Monsters? You have come to the right place to find a little info about them.
Rats
- Appearance
- Rats in this world are quite large creatures with greyish fur. They have one eye and a skinny tail. They attack you with teir 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.
Gobbles
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 can be communicated with if one speaks their native tongue. They have been found in the labyrinthine sewers of Hydlaa City.
Clackers
An instectlike creature resembling an oversized hermit crab. Fairly stupid and not a serious threat to persons of experience. 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.
Carkarass
A feathered, flying creature with two tails. Not a hindrance to any experienced adventurer, but amateurs should beware. Spirits that have escaped the Death Realm speak of this monster.
Consumers
Found in the wilds
Tefusang (Tefu)
A large nasty beast with leathery skin, horned appendages, and two large tentacles hanging from their torso. Their leathery skin and teeth are valued for both armor and alchemical formulas.
Trepor
An intelligent and hostile creature resembling a spider, but with a human face. Trepors are foul beings and some are even rumored to be able to use magic. Trepors are difficult, but not impossible to slay. 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.
Grendol
A foul beast that reeks of death. 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.
Ulbernauts (Ulber)
Ulbernauts are vicious and extremely powerful beasts. Rarely encountered, they tend to nest in places far from civilization. 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.
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.
Other Creatures
Also found around Yliakum but not covered here are Rogues, Bandits, Brigands, Thugs, Mercenaries, and Gladiators. These also vary in difficulty so use caution when encountering them. The people who underestimate their oppenents or rush into combat blindly have a tendency to end up dead.
