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 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.

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

A being with a large, caterpillar like torso and a massive maw of needlelike teeth. 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 the strange sensory organs attached to their torso. Consumers are rare, but can be found in the wilds between the Bronze Doors and Hydlaa City.

Tefusang (Tefu)

A large nasty beast with leathery skin, horned appendages, and two large tentacles hanging from their torso. 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.

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.

Gladiators

Gladiators reside in Hydlaa's arena. They are professional fighters, and a amateur should think twice before attempting to kill one.

Other Creatures

Also found around Yliakum but not covered here are Rogues, Bandits, Brigands, Thugs, and Mercenaries. 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.
