B E S T I A R Y

HELL HOUND

★★★★

This undead creature is found across all three regions. Adult males stand approximately 6 feet tall while females range between 4-5. Pack hunters. Razor-sharp teeth and claws. Leather-like skin.

Weaknesses: salt, fire, silver.

BASILISK

★★★★

Basilisks can be found in dark, humid areas such as cellars, caves and sewers. They are large, sometimes reaching up to a hundred or more feet. Venom is extremely poisonous. Avoid being face to face.

Weaknesses: silver, odor of a weasel.

HAG

★★★★

Living mostly in marshes and swamps, hags are relentless and brutal when it comes to pursuing a living being caught in their surroundings. Being amphibious allows them to smell above ground and underwater.

Weaknesses: silver, fire, witch oil

HYDRA

★★★★

A gargantuan water snake that can have up to nine heads and is impossible to kill if someone is faced with one on their own. Hydra's are quick and have a great deal of range making it hard to outrun.

Weaknesses: silver, fire, witch oil

WRAITH

★★★

Haunting the areas where they died or were buried, wraiths are normally seen at night around cemeteries and catacombs. While envying the living, they also have an intense hatred for them and will attack without provocation.

Weaknesses: silver, magical traps, witch oil

GOBLIN

★★★

Small, green and highly capable, Goblin's are greedy and capable of stealing whatever looks like it has value. They can be hunters, assassins and even powerful magic users and aren't fair by any means. Best to avoid them at all costs or have a sharp weapon accessible.

Weaknesses: Someone smarter, stronger and better at fighting.

KOBOLD

★★★

Among the sprite family, Kobold's can be found in three places: assisting in homes, haunting mines and on ships as part of the crew. Kobolds may manifest as animals, fire, human beings, and objects. They are prone to be easily insulted and carry nasty grudges.

Weaknesses: Anyone stronger than them.

HARPY

★★★

Among the sprite family, Kobold's can be found in three places: assisting in homes, haunting mines and on ships as part of the crew. Kobolds may manifest as animals, fire, human beings, and objects. They are prone to be easily insulted and carry nasty grudges.

Weaknesses: Emerald oil, fire, brute strength

WYVERN

★★

Wyverns tend to stick to wilderness areas and near human settlements. They are natural elements of the ecosystem and therefore respected. They pose little threat to anyone unless provoked and are highly revered by druids, who take in and train them.

Weaknesses: silver

TREE FOLK

★★

Living exclusively in forest areas, Tree Folk are exactly what the name implies. While gentle and non-violent, they are not beyond protecting the forests in which they dwell. Their strength lies in numbers and will rally quickly when they know the size of their threat.

Weaknesses: fire

EMBER UNICORN

★★

Ember unicorns are a sight to behold with their flaming forms. Unfortunately, due to the magical and healing properties of this creature, they are hunted for their single horn and to bottle the flames that are said to bring back the dead.

Weaknesses: arrows, magical traps

GRIFFIN

★

Griffin's nest in the high mountain areas and are curious but cautious creatures. Having been captured and trained as mounts, their numbers have dwindled. Elder griffins are twice the size and have the ability to telepathically communicate with humans, despite their wariness of them.

Weaknesses: good aim

Name of Creature: chimaera
Rating: ★★★★
Info: A fearsome beast with three heads, one a lion, one a dragon, and the middle one a goat, that breathes fire. Chimaera can be found among caves and rocks, although they’re known to venture away from their lairs in order to hunt. (Particularly when they smell prey that intrigue them.)
Weakness: silver, flight, good aim, cunning

Name of Creature: the golden hind
Rating: ★★
Info: An enormous hind with a golden coat that glints in the sunlight, golden antlers like a stag and hooves of bronze, it makes its home in among the trees and flowers. Some say that the golden hind is part woman, part deer, but no one can say for certain. It is said that it can outrun an arrow in flight. Rare, and difficult to find, the golden hind is rumoured to appear whenever destiny is afoot. Or when those who have fate bound to them are near. It is a peaceful, gentle creature, unless attacked. If flight fails, it will defend itself. (Those antlers aren’t just for show. Or is it a bow, and arrows?)
Weakness: magical nets
