Dragon Priest Fanatic Areas Sighted: Meadow, Shard area.
Description: The fanatic is one of the members of the order of worshippers dedicated to the World Dragon. Unlike the gentler, earlier members of the fringe cult who sought to appease the Dragon with offerings of flowers and wine, the fanatic is of the sect that preferred to sacrifice small children as well as whole villages in the name of waking rather than appeasing the great devourer. Eyes filled with a crazed light and hands trembling with the need to kill, the fanatic's bloody practices leave them without a vestige of the sanity normal mortals contain.
Equipment: Broadsword, oval shield, leather coat, leather helm, leather vambraces, leather greaves. Rating: **

Equipment: None. Rating: ***

Dark Fiend Areas Sighted: Dunshade Manor, Riverhaven area.
Description: A truly massive figure, the fiend is draped in shadows. It's very armor appears to be fashioned from the darkness. No details of its appearance can be seen except the malevolent glow of two glaring red eyes staring out from behind its helm. They seem to look deep into your soul seeking out any deed or misvirtue for which it may be due.
Equipment: None. Rating: ***

Footpad Areas Sighted: Undershard, Shard area.
Description: Like so many people who moved to Shard in the hopes of acquiring a new dream and a new life, the footpad is one of many who failed, having little choice but to take up the life of common scum just to get by in the world.

After all, the footpad >did< make the decision to live her life this way...right?
Equipment: Broadsword, oval shield, chain shirt, chain gloves. Rating: ****

Frostweaver Areas Sighted: Aesry area.
Description: The frostweaver is a slender faerie woman, with pale blue-white skin, silvery hair and tilted crystal blue eyes. According to legend, a lovely woman once rejected Idon's advances. In revenge, his curse turned her into the first frostweaver, a creature of ice, unable to care about any living being. Whether the legend is true or not, it would be hard to mistake the being before you for a mortal woman.
Equipment: Blue robes. Rating: *****

Stone Gargoyle Areas Sighted: Crossing area, and Gash North of 
Shard.
Description: Composed of rock, the gargoyle is a statue come to life at the hand of an ambitious mage. Mostly irate at the world and grumbling to itself about anything from the state of the Elven nation to the weather, the gargoyle does not look so much inclined to fight as it is to curl up in a corner and look frightening. Still, it knows its task as a protector of its creator's domain, and will do its best to keep invaders from treading on its turf.
Equipment: None. Rating: ****

 
Field Goblin Areas Sighted: Grassland Road, Crossings area. West Wilds, Riverhaven area. Fallow Fields, Shard area.

Equipment: Short sword/dagger/hand axe, target shield, hooded cloak. Rating: *

Ghoul Areas Sighted: Graveyard, Crossing area.
Description: The ghoul looks like some sick parody of mankind perpetrated by a mad god. Standing over 6 feet tall, it's mud caked skin is pale grey splotched with green. Its torso and limbs are elongated and bone thin. A pair of evil red eyes stare out at you from within its distorted hairless skull, above a grinning mouth lined with rows of jagged teeth.
Equipment: None. Rating: ***

Ring-Necked Giddies Areas Sighted:  Crossings area.
Description: One of the many flightless birds which inhabit this particular area, the gidii is typically smelly, unkempt, awkward and ugly. This one is definitely typical.
Equipment: None. Rating: *

Small Grendel Areas Sighted:  Vineyards, Northeast Wilds, Crossings area.
Description: About five feet in height and a light pink color, a small grendel is a humanoid creature with short, upright ears, small eyes that resemble black beads, and an upturned snout for a nose. Perpetually hungry, the small grendel searches endlessly for food, sometimes dining on tubers, but often craving soft meat.
Equipment: None. Rating: **

Corpse Grub Areas Sighted: Hunting Preserve, Crossings area. Dunshade Manor, Riverhaven area. Ossuary Caverns, Dirge.
Description: The grub is not so much a grub as a bloated sack of formless jelly. It extrudes long pseudopods across the ground to move, dragging itself along or rising up to climb. The color of wet liver, the hide looks slimy and almost greasy. Perhaps the size of a halfling, it has no visible sense organs or extremities.
Equipment: None. Rating: *

Rock Guardian Areas Sighted: Wilderness, Crossings area.
Description: Huge! Approximately twenty feet high, the rock guardian looks like a construct of some kind. The entire thing is made of stone (very much like granite). Even so, the thing does not move awkwardly. Instead, its slow movements seem deliberate, almost graceful. Its face does not appear as fierce as its size might suggest. Instead, it looks almost sad. However, the size of its fists and the shuddering of the ground beneath its massive feet shakes out any cockiness you might have developed. You harbor no illusions. This thing is deadly.
Equipment: None. Rating: *****

Snaer Hafwa Areas Sighted: Aesry area. Dark Temple, Kaerna area.
Description: The snaer hafwa is a vaporous white mist that glistens like lacy ice crystals. Tendril-like hands with knife-like claws flail the air, and dark cold eyes glare from within the vapor. It moves with purpose and drifts about lightly and delicately.
Equipment: None. Rating: *****

Vykathi Harvester Areas Sighted: Upper Air Tunnels/Air Tunnels, Chyolvea Tayeu'a area.

Description: 

 
Equipment: None. Rating: ****

Sleek Hele'la Areas Sighted: Hara'jaal.
Description: The sleek hele'la is quick, smooth and very large water lizard with a with a muscular tail. Its jaw is slightly agape due to the presence of several rows of overly long and needle-sharp teeth. It looks like it's smiling.
Equipment: None. Rating: *****

Ur Hhrki'izh Areas Sighted: Aesry area.
Description: The ur hhrki'izh is an ancient S'Kra Mur, long past its natural lifetime. Its flesh, eyes, and internal organs are long gone, leaving only scaly skin stretched over a skeletal frame and two sullen fires burning in its otherwise empty eye sockets. But even its frightening appearance is not as disturbing as its fluid, languid motion combined with the dry rattling and clicking of old bones.
Equipment: None. Rating: *****

Musk Hog Areas Sighted: Grassland Road/Northeast Vineyards, Crossings area. Woodlands, Langenfirth area.
Description: The musk hog has a scruffy, squat body that is brownish-gray. An unpleasant odor hovers around the beast. You can make out tiny bugs (maybe fleas?) hopping around on its dirty coat. Its broad, flat snout is constantly twitching.
Equipment: None. Rating: *

Wind Hound Areas Sighted: Silverwater Mines, Kaerna area.
Description: Much larger than normal canines, the wind hound stands as tall as a mature Halfling at the shoulder. Its body is an odd composition of howling winds the color of murky ice water, packed tightly into the vague form of a wolf hound with glowing red eyes. While its body may be nothing but violent air currents, its teeth and claws are real enough, and look willing and ready to rend anything that steps in its path!
Equipment: None. Rating: *

Lun'Shele Hunter Areas Sighted: M'Riss.
Description: You see a lithe, slender creature looking like a cross between a degenerate elf and a desperate halfling, large-eyed, large-eared, and dirty. The smears of mud that form most of its apparel may be ritual markings or perhaps vermin control, but the colors and patterns help to hide it as it hunts. A cape of bedraggled feathers marks the hunter as a chieftain among the Lun'Shele. With several strings of teeth around its neck, the hunter carries its staffsling with casual confidence and exudes an air of power from its lean, muscular body.
Standing on two legs the Lun'Shele hunter is tiny and has wings. It looks back at you, a bit agitated.
Equipment: None. Rating: ****

Equipment: Short bow, slendertip arrows. Rating: **

Kobold Areas Sighted: Meadow, Shard area.
Description: Short and graced with leathery brown skin and a doglike face, the kobold is a runt compared to its cousin the faenrae reaver, being about the size and build of a small, bug-ugly Human child. Dressed in whatever piece-mail armor it can find, the kobold fights with the vain pride of a peacock over "its" territory. If not kobold-versus-trespasser, then kobold-versus-kobold. However, in the former case, the kobold is more than willing to communicate with its brethren in a series of whimpers and yips that constitute its language.
Equipment: None. Rating: *

Kra'hei Areas Sighted: Sewers of Ratha.
Description: The kra'hei looks much like a S'kra but its features are warped. Its limbs are deformed though still powerful. The kra'hei has a wild look in its eyes and foam at its mouth. If it was ever a civilized creature there is no longer any signs of that sanity.
Equipment: None. Rating: *****

Yvhh La'tami Areas Sighted: Aesry Cliffs.
Description: The yvhh la'tami is a large long-legged lizard-like creature that scrambles up and down the vertical rock faces with ease, its sturdy sharp claws clinging to the cracks. A pair of membranous wings project from the sides of its body and enable it to glide through the air from ledge to ledge. When at rest, it folds its wings against its body.
Equipment: None. Rating: ***

 

Black Leucro Areas Sighted: Wilderness, Crossings area.
Description: Jet black and looking very much like a giant wolf, the black leucro is half as tall as a normal sized human. Its eyes burn with a fire that suggests that it is more than an overgrown wolf. Something otherworldly seems to burn within its soul. Though often appearing in large groups, it seems to move with an independence that seems to go beyond the pack mentality of normal wolves. Perhaps that is for the best since you are almost certain that if they learned or desired to act in unison, you would be dead now.
Equipment: None. Rating: ***

Glutinous Lipopod Areas Sighted: Forisaad, Crossings area.
Description: The glutinous lipopod is a massive worm which normally spends its time in the waters of large lakes. It ventures onto land only when seeking nourishment. Lipopod have been known to decimate the living organism counts in bodies of water, but fortunately can only survive in brackish or tainted environments. Having a basic, worm-like form, these milky, nearly-transparent creatures absorb their food through osmosis. They can wrap their bodies around their prey and literally digest them through their epidermis. With no real eyes, nose or mouth, their skin has evolved into one massive sensory unit. Their pea-sized brains are located in the forward-leading part of their bodies. The various irregularities on their skin, which you might call nodules, ooze a thick, smelly slime which is quite caustic. In the water, this slime protects their bodies in the cold depths, but on land, it does little more than burn the ground like a strong acid. Despite a lack of vocal cords, the glutinous lipopod manages to emit a primitive, high-pitched squealing sound. It does this by manipulating several small portions of its body into air pockets, which it then squeezes with a kind of shivering motion.
