Creature Bestiary

Standing at over 8 feet tall, this freak of nature uses its hypnotic eye to mesmorize its victims into approaching it, then tears them to shreds using its large, bony claws. If it cannot hypnotize you, its bird-like legs allow the Cretin to run at speeds up to 25 miles an hour, making it a fast and powerful predator.

Strengths: Its large eye can see anything, even during the night. Its powerful legs allow it to run fast and for long distances.

Weaknesses: Blade attacks, magic, and blood loss. Due to its one and only eye, it has problems with depth perception, therefore it must use its hypnotism to attract its prey to come closer to its position in order for it to gauge the distance.

An innocent looking vine that grows from the ground, until you walk up to it. It can sense electromagnetic fields around it, even the most minute fields, allowing this predator to remain motionless until the time comes to strike. At birth, there is only one head, but as it grows, it can hold as many as 10 heads, all independently operated by multiple brains within each head. As with any form of Venus Fly Traps, once it has its powerful jaws latched onto your body, there is no escape.

Strengths: Powerful jaws allow the Venus Fly Trap to bite into its prey, and never let go until the acidic saliva within its mouth completely dissolves the flesh and bones down to a sticky liquid which provides nourishment to the plant creature.

Immunities: It is impervious to water, which makes this plant creature grow.

Weaknesses: Blade attacks, fire, poison. Because it is rooted into the ground, this creature cannot move, it relies upon its prey moving into its kill zone.

Some confuse this creature for a dinosaur, and it is an accurate description. It seems to be the last existing dinosaur on this planet. But due to the high levels of radiation it was exposed to by the large comet that killed its brethren, its genes were mutated and some changes took place. Its eyes vanished, its hearing intensified and its vocal chords mutated. These changes gave the Gorgoron a sonar ability much like a bat that works very well on land. Don't be fooled by its lack of visual eyesight, it can track so well that even if you stand stone-still, it will still hear your heartbeat. And can also track invisible targets this same way.

Strengths: Sonar/radar-like perception, giving it accurate tracking abilities. Enhanced hearing allows it to track its targets efficiently. Invisible targets will be detected despite it having no eyes.

Weaknesses: Susceptible to extremely loud noises, causing confusion and scattering its ability to track. It has no eyesight, rendering the creature blind to visible targets.

Despite its freakish nature, this creature is, in fact, not a creature at all. Long ago, in the times of the ancients, Medusa had captured several humans and made them slaves. Unknown as to how the slaves got their giant ant-like head, and their long, snake-like tentacles, the slaves broke free from their captivity long after Medusa was slain by Perseus and began to creep amongst the lands of today. With the shackles still in place, this abomination cannot move swiftly, nor can it rely on its hands to kill its prey, therefore using its tentacles to grab onto its victim once its in range, then sharp needles pierce the prey's skin, delivering a deadly neurotoxin into the bloodstream, rapidly killing blood cells and the very molecules which make up its victim. The slain being then turns into a thick, brown syrup, and Medusa's Slaves use a tongue as a straw, much like an Anteater would, and drinks its kill completely.

Strengths: Deadly neurotoxin delivered by its tentacles that liquifies its victims.

Weaknesses: Slow movement, lack of claws and teeth.

A once normal everyday worm species, the war between the Creed and others using magic has mutated the creature into a scavenger of destruction. These things lay eggs in which five of the monsters can hatch at a time from a single egg and from the moment of birth they are on their own.

Strengths: Powerful jaws able to crush anything with a single bite, thick armored skin able to withstand bullets, blades, and even most magics. Uses vibrations in the ground to hunt prey and lives in areas of devastation so you never know where it will rise.

Weaknesses: It has no eyes so it can't physically see things, its belly and inner mouth are unarmored and weak points to blades, bullets, and magic. It's heavy so it isn't very fast. It takes a while to get its body to turn around to a person behind it.
