Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a small hound made up of mummified flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Thulian Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting several people who had taken sick. Many of the dead were found with their eyes missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered good glass windows and porcelain plates cracked for no reason. One family woke up and found their whole plate collection cracked in half.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their eyes torn out and their faces lacerated by small cuts. Their fingernails were covered in their own blood.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Unspeakable Word power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Bear Urine, an insatiable hunger for meat that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety, and an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants.

Strength: Weak: This creature is surprisingly weak for its size and appearance. Farmers should still be afraid of it. -2 atk, -4 dmg.

The process takes 1-3 days, and leaves the unfortunate soul a willing and obedient (if somewhat scatterbrained and insane) tool of the creature. The creature can communicate telepathically with its Renfield, even over a distance of miles, and the Renfield will obey without hesitation.

Wind instruments and stringed instruments are best for this, but even drums can have some effect.
Weakness: Spheresome Aura: For esoteric magical reasons, the form of the Sphere is baneful to this creature. The creature is deathly afraid of spheres, and can be warded off, terrified, and "burned" by them. Note the sphere does not have to be perfect, but a lop-sided oval simply will not be effective.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a crocodile made out of vines, this small sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting the elderly. Many of the dead were found torn and twisted together into horrific flesh-castles. The few survivors of the attacks remembered crops and trees became withered and dry. They would crumble at the slightest touch.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with several dozen different causes of death. Blood had dried around their teeth and eyes while their skin and internal organs had been turned to pulp.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Malevolent Vibration power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could enslave human servitors to aid it in its attacks. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an inability to taste or sense poison, a weakness for beautiful music, and a strange but immense fear of spheres.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a man made out of bone, this medium sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Imperial Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the men. Many of the dead were found with only the hair remaining uneaten.

The beast is a small sized creature, made up of living ice in the shape of a pig. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Western Road.

Its main weakness were a love of its own image that can leave it entranced for hours, a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else, and an inability to taste or sense poison.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium pig made up of living ice. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Ben Nevis. The creature started its attacks by slaying broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found torn apart in a nearby cave. The few survivors of the attacks remembered the nearby creeks froze overnight and did not thaw out for days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with hundreds of tiny sucker marks on their exposed flesh. Several hunters had been torn in two by some immense power.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with a bucket sized chunk of their abdomen melted away. Their hands and face were pock marked with dozens of small acid burns.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Tentacles and Acid Bolt power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted a range of previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could enslave human servitors to aid it in its attacks. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it could somehow sense whenever something threatened its life. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe weakness to light and illumination and a severe vulnerability to Milk.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a maggot made out of ectoplasm, this small sized beast is a great danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering alcoholics. Many of the dead were found with jagged wounds in their forehead and important pieces of brain missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered children wasted away and often died.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their bodies red and swollen. On further examination their hearts were found to be cut to ribbons even though the surrounding flesh was uninjured.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Heart Bleed Touch power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else and an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Cabezia in 755, the creature is a baboon made out of flowing glass. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon young children. Many of the dead were found torn and twisted together into horrific flesh-castles. The few survivors of the attacks remembered they found odd geometric patterns in their crops and fields before the attacks occurred. Additionally, cats started acting odd and were seen roaming in large packs at night.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found laying in a rough semi-circle on the ground. Several of them seem to have died from one blow.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fury X power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an overly fragile sense of smell that could cause it pain from strong odors, sensitive ears that made loud noises very painful, and a fear and pain of the pure sound of bells.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge worm made up of bone. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Callander. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering their Cow. Many of the dead were found with jagged wounds in their forehead and important pieces of brain missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered toads rained from the sky before its predations.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found curled up on themselves for warmth. Some had gruesome wounds while others seem to have simply froze to death.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Cold Aura power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Bear Urine, a weakness for beautiful music, and a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 813, the creature is a turtle made out of living shadow. It is of a medium size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting the women.

Additionally, children wasted away and often died.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with severe burns on their faces and weapon arms.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fire Starter power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could fade out of sync with the world and avoid all harm. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was completely immune to the pain of its wounds. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to the sun, a fear and pain of the pure sound of bells, and a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world.

Shaped like a wolf made out of flowing glass, this medium sized beast is a great danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Thulian Road.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a snail made out of living shadow, this large sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with broken bones and horribly twisted bodies. The few survivors of the attacks remembered flocks of vultures circled through the air for days. Additionally, Storm clouds with odd colors settled over head. However no rain came down at all.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found as bloody piles that were barely recognizable as human beings. The top few inches of their body had simply dissolved away.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found torn to pieces. At least two of them seem to have died from catastrophic malfunctions of their equipment.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Corrosive Aura and Ill Luck Aura power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could always seem to hit the target it was aiming at with at least a glancing blow, travel through mirrors, and strike at great distance with its absurdly long neck. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an overly fragile sense of smell that could cause it pain from strong odors and a strange but immense fear of spheres.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of living ice in the shape of a wolf. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying several people who had taken sick. Many of the dead were found bloodily torn into two pieces. The few survivors of the attacks remembered birds killed themselves in a steady stream of collisions with walls and trees. Some drowned themselves in ponds and wells. Additionally, flocks of vultures circled through the air for days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dead of seeming exhaustion. Their muscles were tense and their eyes were bloodshot.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gruesomely shredded by hundreds of small bird bites.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Dream Marathon and Control Crows power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it had an insidious aura that clouded and befuddled the minds of its attackers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a rather dull and stupid mind and a need to return to the soil of its lair every half-day.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a small goblin made up of rotting flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Loch Earn. The creature started its attacks by slaying the men. Many of the dead were found impaled on tree branches and half eaten. The few survivors of the attacks remembered crops and trees became withered and dry. They would crumble at the slightest touch.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found withered and aged beyond all recognition. Their shields and other armor was rusted as though it had been left out in the elements for months or years.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entropic Breath power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could fade out of sync with the world and avoid all harm. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a weakness for beautiful music and an immense vulnerability to WarMaterialVariants.

Its main weakness were an inability to taste or sense poison and a severe vulnerability to Glass.

Strength: Normal Strength: This creature has no unnatural strength advantage, outside of those provided by its shape and aspect.
Attack: Entropic Claw: This attack is applied by Claw.
Ability: Poison Mist Aura: Poisonous mist seeps up out of the ground near the creature. Its lair will be dangerous with this mist. Can "send" the mist a limited distance (miles) if it concentrates for extended period of time.

Weakness: Praise the Sun: The creature is confused idealist and ascribes to a somewhat counterproductive ideology. It believes itself to be evil and fears the good and true. It can sense those who have pure hearts, and against them it suffers a -1 to -10 Malus and it is unwilling/psychologically blocked from using its powers. The pureness of a given character's heart is a GM's decision, though NPCs can also be enlisted to help with this.
Weakness: Spheresome Aura: For esoteric magical reasons, the form of the Sphere is baneful to this creature. The creature is deathly afraid of spheres, and can be warded off, terrified, and "burned" by them. Note the sphere does not have to be perfect, but a lop-sided oval simply will not be effective. The Creature takes a -1 to -10 Malus based on the visual impressiveness of the sphere and how close it is to the beast.
Weakness: Motion Sight: Cannot see creatures that are motionless. The less motion/movement a person makes, the more difficult it will be for this creature to see/target them. Can use scent and sound and intuition if it knows/suspects a character is at a certain area but "invisible".

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium bear made up of living shadow. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying several people who had taken sick. Many of the dead were found impaled on tree branches and half eaten.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mind Wipe power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could summon up a poisonous mist out of the ground. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an unlikely fear of those with good and pure hearts, a strange but immense fear of spheres, and an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless.

Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could enslave human servitors to aid it in its attacks. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights, an immense vulnerability to WarMaterialVariants, and a small Stick doll that it cannot live without.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a baboon made out of caustic ooze, this medium sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Northern Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down everyone but children. Many of the dead were found their faces gruesomely chewed off. The few survivors of the attacks remembered strange smells coming from a nearby pond.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found laying in a rough semi-circle on the ground. Several of them seem to have died from one blow.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fury X power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted a range of previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could blind enemies with an immense light that flowed from its body. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an overly fragile sense of smell that could cause it pain from strong odors and a severe vulnerability to Poison.

The creature can communicate telepathically with its Renfield, even over a distance of miles, and the Renfield will obey without hesitation.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 791, the creature is a worm made out of glowing gems and silver wire. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Northern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found with their neck torn open. The few survivors of the attacks remembered fisherman came back with empty catches and the fish seemed to have deserted the water entirely. Additionally, birds fled several days before the attacks and were not seen again for weeks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their wrists and throat cut by a single claw.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Paralyzing Touch power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could enslave human servitors to aid it in its attacks and land devastating and fatal blows with regularity. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a soft underbelly that was easily wounded and sensitive ears that made loud noises very painful.

Wind instruments and stringed instruments are best for this, but even drums can have some effect.

First dissected by Ortega in 791, the creature is a blob made out of living ice. It is of a medium size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found with their skin and fat chewed away. The few survivors of the attacks remembered foul odors and strange noises coming from a house that had been abandoned recently.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their armor and skin in ribbons. Deep and precise cuts had opened their arteries and half severed their limbs.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Razor Sharp Bite power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it seemed barely hurt by their pointy swords and arrows. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a weakness for beautiful music and an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless.

Murderous Witherblob

Muscle: *

Toughness: ********

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Phrandal in 705, the creature is a blob made out of mummified flesh. It is of a medium size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with their faces perfectly smooth. The few survivors of the attacks remembered cats started acting odd and were seen roaming in large packs at night.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with hundreds of tiny sucker marks on their exposed flesh. Several hunters had been torn in two by some immense power.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Tentacles power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could land devastating and fatal blows with regularity. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Salt Water, a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world, and a severe vulnerability to Man Urine.

Shaped like a panther made out of warped flesh, this medium sized beast is a great danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Inverbervie. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering babies. Many of the dead were found with their feet missing.

The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of ectoplasm in the shape of a maggot. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying alcoholics. Many of the dead were found with their their bodies clawed apart into fine slices.

Additionally, their cattle went mad and began braining them selves against trees and writhing in agonized heaps on the ground.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their extremities swollen and blackened. They seem to have been frozen (and clawed) to death.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Flash Freeze Touch power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could sense opponents just by their body heat. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine and a love of its own image that can leave it entranced for hours.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small baboon made up of glowing gems and silver wire. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Northern Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting the magically talented. Many of the dead were found without any bones. The few survivors of the attacks remembered there was a series of unlucky and unexplained fires. Several houses burned down and a patch of woods went up in flames.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found withered and aged beyond all recognition. Their shields and other armor was rusted as though it had been left out in the elements for months or years.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entropic Fist power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could thicken the very air so that its foes were unable to move or escape. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a rather dull and stupid mind, a soft underbelly that was easily wounded, and a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of ectoplasm in the shape of a bull. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering the magically talented. Many of the dead were found without their femurs. The few survivors of the attacks remembered dogs bark and whine all night for no reason.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their skin a bloody mess. They seem to have clawed themselves to death with some assistance from the creature's jaws.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Hallucinations power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else and an immense vulnerability to WarMaterialVariants.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a medium caterpillar made up of ectoplasm. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Valdearenas. The creature started its attacks by slaying the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found torn and twisted together into horrific flesh-castles. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their mirrors shattered in the days before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their bodies red and swollen. On further examination their hearts were found to be black and lacerated.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Heart Freeze Touch power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could pull a twin of itself out of mirrors. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else and an insatiable hunger for meat that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of vines in the shape of a pig. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Fochabers. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering the men. Many of the dead were found with their hands and wrists missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered after each attack they found dense pellets containing bones and hair and crushed bits of metal and coin. Additionally, birds fled several days before the attacks and were not seen again for weeks.



After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could summon up a poisonous mist out of the ground and reason and think at levels far beyond the common cunning of a beast. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety and sensitive eyes that make bright lights very painful.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dried up to little more than cicada-like husks with no blood or lymph or water left in them.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Life Draining Breath power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted a range of previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could land devastating and fatal blows with regularity. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it showed no pain or ill result from its wounds right up until it died. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a small Dried up organ that it cannot live without, sensitive eyes that make bright lights very painful, and a soft underbelly that was easily wounded.

The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of fungus in the shape of a elf. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting the men. Many of the dead were found with their necks brutally broken.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their throats cut. Their bodies were oddly transformed though and their faces had an odd and animalistic cast to them.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Polymorphic Fist power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it regenerated the wounds they had dealt it, it used its iron like hide to shattered many of their weapons, and it simply shrugged off all Elemental Variant attacks. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an inability to taste or sense poison and sensitive ears that made loud noises very painful.

The Creature takes a -1 to -10 Malus based on the visual impressiveness of the sphere and how close it is to the beast.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of glowing gems and silver wire in the shape of a worm. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Fornelo. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the elderly. Many of the dead were found with their bones cracked open. The few survivors of the attacks remembered Storm clouds with odd colors settled over head. However no rain came down at all. Additionally, small but persistent earthquakes and tremblors.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their arms and chest frozen through into a solid block of ice.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Ice Breathe power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted a range of previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could land devastating and fatal blows with regularity. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a strange but immense fear of spheres, a severe weakness to light and illumination, and a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 755, the creature is a crow made out of warped flesh. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering young children. Many of the dead were found with their feet missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered the town well went bad and gave off a terribly foul stench.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found charred and electrocuted with their armor and weaponry melted down in rivulets all around them. A large pool of molten iron solidified around their feet where their greaves melted down.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with violent bite marks on their head and shoulders.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Storm Lord and Second Head power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it regenerated the wounds they had dealt it. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless and a fear and pain of the pure sound of bells.

The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of mummified flesh in the shape of a bull. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found stuffed into crude and shallow graves. The few survivors of the attacks remembered long trails of bloody footprints were found criss crossing the land. Additionally, the town well went bad and gave off a terribly foul stench.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found curled up on the ground with expressions of utmost despair on their faces and bloody wounds across their bodies.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of flowing glass in the shape of a gorilla. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon the magically talented. Many of the dead were found with enormous cavities torn in their chest and abdomen. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their mirrors shattered in the days before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their limbs horribly blackened and twisted. It was as though parts of their body had just rotted and decayed away.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with stinger and poison wounds.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Limb Enervation and Poison Tipped Stinger power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could run and act with incredible quickness. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it masked itself in human form to avoid hunters. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants, an overly fragile sense of smell that could cause it pain from strong odors, and a rather impressive level of stupidity.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small bug made up of glowing gems and silver wire. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Thulian Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with enormous cavities torn in their chest and abdomen. The few survivors of the attacks remembered birds killed themselves in a steady stream of collisions with walls and trees. Some drowned themselves in ponds and wells. Additionally, fisherman came back with empty catches and the fish seemed to have deserted the water entirely.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with terrible piercing wounds. Upon examination a single large tooth was found embedded in each wound.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their muscles crushed to pulp and their bones crushed to splinters. One warrior had his waist reduced to the size of a donut. The jelly filling was spilling out of his mouth and other orifices.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with brutal contusions and broken bones as though hit by a sledge hammer. The skin was not broken and they seem to have succumbed to internal injuries.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Tooth Spitter, Iron Grip, and Force Strike power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could enslave human servitors to aid it in its attacks and fade out of sync with the world and avoid all harm. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it masked itself in human form to avoid hunters and it showed no pain or ill result from its wounds right up until it died. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Man Urine, a severe vulnerability to Cow Urine, and a small Silver Ring that it cannot live without.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of mummified flesh in the shape of a scorpion. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Natí. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the women. Many of the dead were found without any bones. The few survivors of the attacks remembered there were blood curdling howls and screeches during the nights. Additionally, thick gray clouds blotted out the sky and there was no real sun for days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dead of seeming exhaustion. Their muscles were tense and their eyes were bloodshot.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found in a nearby village. At that point they were walking corpses and were attacking any living being in sight.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Dream Marathon and Kill Raise power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could call on the assistance of a small air-spirit. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an unlikely fear of those with good and pure hearts and an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants.

Strength: Strong: This creature is stronger than most men. Its grip is painful. +2 dmg.
Ability: Immense Intelligence: These creatures are extremely intelligent, so much so that they are often thought to have magical or oracular powers. In practice, the difference is somewhat moot, as their vast knowledge, perfect recall, and incisive thinking allows them to be one or three steps ahead of most opponents. Will see through almost all traps, and can be expected to have contingency plans set up for most events. You should try to have at least 3 three surprises set up when facing these creatures, as it will usually predict the first two.

Weakness: Over-calculator: Has difficulty sorting out scenes with many moving objects. A fall of leaves or a spray of marbles are extremely distracting to the creature and prevent it from focusing. Takes a -1 to -10 Malus depending on amount of visual chaff it is facing.
Weakness: Fetish: Carries a Dried up organ that is enormously precious to it. If this can be taken, the creature will be frantic, fearful, and unable to use abilities.
Appearance: Wears dried bits of human hide over its body
NumAppearing: Solitary
Spore: Crops wither and die in a 1 mile radius. Takes a few days to gradually come into effect.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large horse made up of glowing gems and silver wire. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found with their their bodies clawed apart into fine slices. The few survivors of the attacks remembered crops withered and died over several days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their throats cut. They had a look of panic and confusion on their faces.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mind Wipe power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could reason and think at levels far beyond the common cunning of a beast. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects and a small Dried up organ that it cannot live without.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 642, the creature is a octopod made out of flowing glass. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Dalkeith. The creature started its attacks by hunting down a club of crotchety old men. Many of the dead were found shriveled and dry with much of their hair missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered weird runes and signs were found written in spider's webs.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with terrible slash wounds and signs of frost bite.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Ice Blade power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could twists perception like a bow causing the WitchHammers to drunkenly stumble and collide, see in all directions using its many eyes, and smell its hunters from incredibly long distances. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it twisted light around itself to hide all but its eyes, it masked itself in human form to avoid hunters, and its body is as hard as an old oak tree. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a love of its own image that can leave it entranced for hours, a soft underbelly that was easily wounded, and an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge crow made up of bone. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Paxareiras. The creature started its attacks by preying upon young children. Many of the dead were found torn to pieces and scattered. The few survivors of the attacks remembered children wasted away and often died.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their skin a bloody mess. They seem to have clawed themselves to death with some assistance from the creature's jaws.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Hallucinations power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could fight and dodge with unearthly speed. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else, a severe weakness to light and illumination, and a severe vulnerability to Man Urine.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 680, the creature is a octopod made out of caustic ooze. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down several people who had taken sick. Many of the dead were found with broken bones and horribly twisted bodies. The few survivors of the attacks remembered children wasted away and often died. Additionally, they found odd geometric inscribed in the bark of trees nearby.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their eyes torn out and their faces lacerated by small cuts. Their fingernails were covered in their own blood.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with stab wounds in their front and finger sized gory holes dug out of their backs.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their skin a bloody mess. They seem to have clawed themselves to death with some assistance from the creature's jaws.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Unspeakable Word, Tentacle Control, and Hallucinations power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to the sun and a severe vulnerability to Obsidian.

The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of glowing gems and silver wire in the shape of a python. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Imperial Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down several people who had taken sick.

Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could land devastating and fatal blows with regularity. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it could somehow sense whenever something threatened its life and it seemed barely hurt by their normal weapons. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a soft underbelly that was easily wounded and sensitive eyes that make bright lights very painful.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a lion made out of fungus, this large sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering several people who had taken sick. Many of the dead were found with their hands and wrists missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered dogs bark and whine all night for no reason. Additionally, all the wild animals and game in the area disappearing.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found turned into perfect granite statues.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Petrifying Touch power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could pull a twin of itself out of mirrors. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a rather impressive level of stupidity, a weakness for beautiful music, and an inability to taste or sense poison.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 705, the creature is a elk made out of glowing gems and silver wire. It is of a medium size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering everyone but beautiful men. Many of the dead were found with their teeth missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered after each attack they found dense pellets containing bones and hair and crushed bits of metal and coin.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found as a fine red paste on the ground. They seem to have vaporized in a spray of blood and viscera.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found slammed head first into a nearby tree. The head was shattered down to the spine by repeated impacts.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Boiling Blood Breath and Telekinesis power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could reason and think at levels far beyond the common cunning of a beast. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were sensitive ears that made loud noises very painful and an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Shaped like a maggot made out of mummified flesh, this large sized beast is a great danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Scone. The creature started its attacks by slaying everyone but virgins. Many of the dead were found without a single drop of blood left in their body. The few survivors of the attacks remembered good glass windows and porcelain plates cracked for no reason. One family woke up and found their whole plate collection cracked in half. Additionally, fiddle strings broke and drums became infested with insects. One man's trombone rusted straight through.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found withered and aged beyond all recognition. Their shields and other armor was rusted as though it had been left out in the elements for months or years.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entropic Breath power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it blended in nearly perfectly with the surrounding woods. In the end, the creature was defeated.

The process takes 1-3 days, and leaves the unfortunate soul a willing and obedient (if somewhat scatterbrained and insane) tool of the creature.

The beast is a small crocodile made up of rotting flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Imperial Road. The creature started its attacks by preying upon the women. Many of the dead were found stuffed into crude and shallow graves.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found spread out over 100 yards of trail. They had terrible wounds in their back and were obviously killed while in panicked flight. They had expressions of utmost horror on their dead visages.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fear Gaze power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could enslave human servitors to aid it in its attacks, strike and maul with terrifying speed, and call on the assistance of a small air-spirit. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was a wary and cunning foe. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an insatiable hunger for meat that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety and sensitive ears that made loud noises very painful.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of glowing gems and silver wire in the shape of a snail. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Northern Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting young children. Many of the dead were found drowned and half-eaten. The few survivors of the attacks remembered birds killed themselves in a steady stream of collisions with walls and trees. Some drowned themselves in ponds and wells. Additionally, children wasted away and often died.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with violent bite marks on their face and shoulders.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with hundreds of tiny sucker marks on their exposed flesh. Several hunters had been torn in two by some immense power.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their throats cut. They had a look of panic and confusion on their faces.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Three Headed, Tentacles, and Mind Wipe power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could squeeze through incredibly tight spaces. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it seemed barely hurt by their normal weapons and it was protected by an enormous conch-like shell. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless, a fear and pain of the pure sound of bells, and an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of fungus in the shape of a beetle. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Western Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying a club of crotchety old men. Many of the dead were found with their hands and wrists missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their livestock became sick and covered in foul sores. Additionally, metal plows and other implments rusted and became unusable.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found splayed out on the ground in a rictus of pure pain. Their wounds were minor; it appears the heart gave out.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with stinger and poison wounds.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found bitten and pecked to death by small animals.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Agonizing Gaze, Poison Tipped Stinger, and Dominate Minor Animal power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could summon up a poisonous mist out of the ground. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it could somehow sense whenever something threatened its life and it released nauseating gasses whenever it was wounded. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety and an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects.

Magnificent Zhaibarian Cryspython

Toughness: *********

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a medium python made up of living ice. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Western Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with their faces perfectly smooth. The few survivors of the attacks remembered they found odd geometric inscribed in dense patterns along walls and stones.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their throats cut. They had a look of panic and confusion on their faces.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mind Wipe power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could fade out of sync with the world and avoid all harm. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it could somehow sense whenever something threatened its life, it was so damnably fast and difficult to hit, and it stubbornly refused to be killed by normal weapons. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an inability to taste or sense poison, a severe vulnerability to Alcohol, and a rather impressive level of stupidity.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 668, the creature is a tiger made out of bone. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Brora. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found with enormous cavities torn in their chest and abdomen. The few survivors of the attacks remembered small but persistent earthquakes and tremblors.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gored to death with multiple tusk wounds.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with expressions of bliss in their dead eyes despite the fact their chests were torn open.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dried and dessicated and drained of all life.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Deadly Tusks, Entrancing Claw, and Shadow Spirit power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could always seem to hit the target it was aiming at with at least a glancing blow. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it masked itself in human form to avoid hunters and it was full of Beetles. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects, an immense vulnerability to WarMaterialVariants, and a severe vulnerability to Mercury.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 755, the creature is a giraffe made out of living shadow. It is of a huge size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Matienzo. The creature started its attacks by slaying everyone but women. Many of the dead were found with their teeth missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered not a single normal cloud was seen in the sky for days. Additionally, a giant toad stool was found behind a rotten tree and trails of smaller toad stools were found across the ground.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dried up to little more than cicada-like husks with no blood or lymph or water left in them.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Life Draining Breath power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could reason and think at levels far beyond the common cunning of a beast. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was protected by a a layer of living ice armor. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a weakness for beautiful music, sensitive eyes that make bright lights very painful, and a need to return to the soil of its lair every half-day.

The beast is a huge baboon made up of caustic ooze. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Solaguren. The creature started its attacks by assaulting young children. Many of the dead were found torn to pieces and scattered.

In croaking swarms they hopped along roads and fields.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found bitten and pecked to death by small animals.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Dominate Minor Animal power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large sized creature, made up of caustic ooze in the shape of a blob. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Zhaibarian Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting their cattle. Many of the dead were found without their intestines and stomach. The few survivors of the attacks remembered foul odors and strange noises coming from a house that had been abandoned recently.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found as bloody piles that were barely recognizable as human beings. The top few inches of their body had simply dissolved away.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with terrible and bloody whip wounds across their face and hands.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Corrosive Aura and Whip tail power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could uses it fungal spores to infect and enslave human servitors and nearly naked and bereft of any weapons. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it used a weird mental trick that allowed it to hide even in plain sight and it shrugged off the worst of their mystical attacks. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a soft underbelly that was easily wounded and a severe vulnerability to Iron.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a large swan made up of mummified flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Dufftown. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found without their intestines and stomach. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their food went bad and shriveled up.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their bodies red and swollen. On further examination their hearts were found to be black and lacerated.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found torn to pieces. At least two of them seem to have died from catastrophic malfunctions of their equipment.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found in a nearby village. At that point they were walking corpses and were attacking any living being in sight.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Heart Freeze Gaze, Ill Luck Aura, and Kill Raise power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could strike and maul with terrifying speed, see its hunters from incredibly long distances, and place a baneful curse upon the WitchHammer who had defeated it. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it twisted light around itself to hide all but its mouth and it fled once it realized the battle had turned against it. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects and a rather dull and stupid mind.

Murderous Snorse

Toughness: *********

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a horse made out of living ice, this huge sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Northern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying the magically talented. Many of the dead were found with strange worms crawling inside them. The few survivors of the attacks remembered strange smells coming from a nearby pond. Additionally, a giant toad stool was found behind a rotten tree and trails of smaller toad stools were found across the ground.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found having torn their own ears and eyes out.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found crushed to pulp by some gigantic constricting appendage.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found frozen into man shaped ice cubes. They did not defrost for weeks.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Gibbering Mouths, Snake Legs, and Freezing Bite power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could land devastating and fatal blows with regularity and move great distance on its absurdly long legs. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it stubbornly refused to be killed by normal weapons, it simply shrugged off all mystical attacks, and it returned as a ghost to further assault its killers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe weakness to light and illumination and a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge owl made up of bone. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Southern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying the women. Many of the dead were found with their neck torn open. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their livestock became sick and covered in foul sores. Additionally, fisherman came back with empty catches and the fish seemed to have deserted the water entirely.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found still alive although without any mind or volition left. They wasted away and died several weeks later despite the best efforts of the rescuers.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Soul Eat power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted a range of previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could strike and maul with terrifying speed. The beast was even more difficult to kill as its limbs refused to stop fighting even after being severed and it was protected by a a layer of living ice armor. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else and a severe vulnerability to Cow Urine.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of bone in the shape of a giraffe. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Northern Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying their horses. Many of the dead were found with jagged wounds in their forehead and important pieces of brain missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered thick gray clouds blotted out the sky and there was no real sun for days. Additionally, Beetles were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found savagely mauled.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Maul power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could call on the assistance of a small air-spirit. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was protected by a layer of cold and shadowy armor and it was surrounded by an aura of shadow and darkness that made it difficult to see. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an inability to taste or sense poison, a weakness for beautiful music, and a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else.
