Strength: Very Strong: This creature is as strong as a professional weight lifter. It can hurl stones and bodies across a room. +1 atk, +4 dmg.
Ability: Renfielder: The creature can claim the mind of a human being. 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. A creature will never have more than 3 Renfields at a time, as it appears to take an investment of power to maintain the connection. Renfields have poor combat stats, and are most useful for mis-directions, distractions, and other oblique tactics.
Weakness: Hates reflection: Hates the sight of its reflection in a mirror. Will attack its reflection in a blind rage until it has been smashed to pieces.
Weakness: Highly Coffinated: The creature is bound by iron chains to a coffin, and must drag the coffin behind it where ever it goes. This slows and hinders the creature, and makes it much easier to track. The creature cannot be separated from the coffin except by dying. The coffin is made of hard wood, and if it is ever destroyed the creature will die.
Weakness: Spheresome: 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.
Appearance: The creature's skin is covered in glowing Umber runes.
NumAppearing: Packs of 2
Spore: Storm clouds blow through but do not bring rain. The clouds have odd colors hiding in them, greens and purples.
SporePoop: Enormous Whitish patties
VictimChoice: Prefers to attack sleeping targets
VictimWound: Eats the fat off the victim, leaves most of the rest.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a goblin made out of glowing gems and silver wire, this small sized beast is a large danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Sorriba. The creature started its attacks by hunting down those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found with their skin and fat chewed away. The few survivors of the attacks remembered Storm clouds with odd colors settled over head. However no rain came down at all.



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. 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, a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, and a strange but immense fear of spheres.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 791, the creature is a worm 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 Imperial Road. The creature started its attacks by slaying the magically talented. Many of the dead were found with their feet missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered long and jagged cracks appearing in walls and floors and everyday objects.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found torn into a bloody ribbons. Their bodies were viciously mauled for long past the point of death.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Battle Rage 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 the sun and a rather dull and stupid mind.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of warped flesh in the shape of a rat. 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 the elderly. Many of the dead were found with their their bodies clawed apart into fine slices. The few survivors of the attacks remembered they found odd geometric inscribed in the bark of trees nearby.

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 Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Malevolent Vibration 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, heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace, and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a medium sized creature, made up of warped flesh in the shape of a man. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Riopico. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found torn apart in a nearby cave. The few survivors of the attacks remembered scouts found weird patches of Amber slime brushed across rocks and trees and lintels. Additionally, not a single normal cloud was seen in the sky for days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found having torn their own ears and eyes out.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Gibbering Mouths 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. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an obsessive desire to gamble and make bets, heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace, and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

First dissected by Phrandal in 755, the creature is a rat made out of bone. 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 slaughtering young children.

Additionally, Roaches were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found cut and pummeled to death. Several had been disarmed before death and had their weapons lying yards away.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Combat Master power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a rather impressive level of stupidity and a severe vulnerability to the sun.

Its main weakness were an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects, a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain, and a love of its own image that can leave it entranced for hours.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 813, the creature is a hound made out of vines. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Arisaig. The creature started its attacks by preying upon several people who had taken sick.

Additionally, fruit trees and other crops grew wicked thorns.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found covered in roots and vines that were slowly drawing their bodies into the ground.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Control Plants 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 exudes a caustic mist around itself. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it merged into and hid within trees. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain, a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain, and a deathly fear of Dogs.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of fungus in the shape of a penguin. 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 hunting down their horses. Many of the dead were found with only their Intestines remaining. The few survivors of the attacks remembered crops withered and died over several days. Additionally, a fearful pillar of darkness that was seen in the distance. The pillar faded a few minutes after midday.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found lacerated with dozens of deep and bloody cuts. Their armor lay in shreds around them.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Shredding Bite 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 teleport across short distance or to avoid harm. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a maggot made out of mummified flesh, this medium sized beast is a great danger. 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 slaying a club of crotchety old men. Many of the dead were found with their teeth missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their livestock became sick and covered in foul sores.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found warped into the semblance of strange hybrids that were half man and half fish.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mermogenic 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 thicken the very air so that its foes were unable to move or escape and see in all directions using its many eyes. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights, and a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 651, the creature is a lion 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 The village of Newtonmore. The creature started its attacks by assaulting their cattle. Many of the dead were found with their flesh ripped open and strange sigils carved onto their undamaged bones. The few survivors of the attacks remembered toads rained from the sky before its predations. Additionally, the weather became unseasonably cold and harsh winds wailed.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their limbs frozen and blackened by extreme cold.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Frost Bite Claw 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 drain all sound from the air around it. 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 a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else, an obsessive desire to play games of skill against worthy opponents, and a continual stream of tears that it shed which made it easy to track.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a cube 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 assaulting those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found hung on tree branches and half eaten. The few survivors of the attacks remembered frogs came out of the creeks and onto the land. In croaking swarms they hopped along roads and fields. Additionally, apples and pears rotted over night into piles of putrid sludge.



After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his 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 explode on death into a cloud of caustic gas. 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 thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of vines in the shape of a bull. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Orito. The creature started its attacks by preying upon everyone but children. Many of the dead were found without their femurs. The few survivors of the attacks remembered frogs came out of the creeks and onto the land. In croaking swarms they hopped along roads and fields. Additionally, their mirrors warped and cracked before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found several villages over. The WitchHammers had been transformed into half-human and half monster hybrids.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Monstrous Horn 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 by their footfalls on the ground and uses it enticing colored salamander frills to beguile and daze foes. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects, a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain, and a severe vulnerability to Salt Water.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Cabezia in 755, the creature is a tiger made out of animated fire. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Iona. The creature started its attacks by hunting down young children. Many of the dead were found with jagged wounds in their forehead and important pieces of brain missing.

The first 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.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entrancing 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 blind enemies with an immense light that flowed from its body. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an inability to taste or sense poison, a strange but immense fear of spheres, and an obsessive desire to gamble and make bets.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of glowing gems and silver wire in the shape of a peacock. 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 their Dog. Many of the dead were found with their skulls were piled in heaps. The few survivors of the attacks remembered birds flocked to the area and say in rows along tree branches and roofs.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found bitten and pecked to death by small animals.
The second 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 Dominate Minor Animal and Force Strike 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 uses it enticing colored salamander frills to beguile and daze foes. 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 fear and pain of the pure sound of bells, a continual stream of tears that it shed which made it easy to track, and an incurable greed for Ribbons that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

The beast is a medium peacock made up of living shadow. 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 the magically talented. Many of the dead were found without their intestines and stomach. The few survivors of the attacks remembered the nearby creeks froze overnight and did not thaw out for days. Additionally, the creeks ran blood red before the attacks began.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found in pools of their own bodily fluids. They seem to have bled/dehydrated out from all available orifices.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Filth Fever Claw power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a lion made out of living shadow, 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 Western Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the women. Many of the dead were found with only the hair remaining uneaten.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found wounds on their back and expressions of terror on their faces.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found lacerated with dozens of deep and bloody cuts. Their armor lay in shreds around them.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fear Itself and Shredding Claw 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 smell its hunters from incredibly long distances. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it shrugged off the worst of their mystical attacks. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless, a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, and an incurable appetite for books that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Furthermore, he noted previously unknown abilities that the beast displayed during its losing fight. The creature could spawn shadow monsters from the bodies of those it killed. 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. Its main weakness were a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it and an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with terrible burns on both hands. The fingerbones could be seen through the melted mail gloves.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Fire Blood 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 could hear the very thoughts of nearby people. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a weakness for song, an incurable appetite for Pastries that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety, and an incurable greed for Gold that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Cabezia in 811, the creature is a baboon made out of warped flesh. It is of a small size. 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 their Alpaca. Many of the dead were found with enormous cavities torn in their chest and abdomen. 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 wrists and throat cut by a single claw.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Paralyzing 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 place a baneful curse upon the WitchHammer who had defeated it. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was protected by a layer of cold and shadowy armor. 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, a deathly fear of Cats, and a continual stream of tears that it shed which made it easy to track.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of living ice in the shape of a turtle. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Augustus. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering their Alpaca. Many of the dead were found with their hands and wrists missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered metal plows and other implments rusted and became unusable. 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 cut and pummeled to death. Several had been disarmed before death and had their weapons lying yards away.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Combat Master power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a weakness for song and a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Shannon in 644, the creature is a maggot made out of living shadow. It is of a small size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting everyone but sinners, robberers, and murderers. Many of the dead were found stuffed into crude and shallow graves. The few survivors of the attacks remembered burned circles and trails were found in the turf.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found bitten and pecked to death by small animals.
The second 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 Dominate Minor Animal and Fury X 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 and blind enemies with an immense light that flowed from its body. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it fled once it realized the battle had turned against it, it was protected by a a layer of living ice armor, and it was surrounded by constant whipping winds. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine, an obsessive desire to gamble and make bets, and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

First dissected by Cabezia in 781, the creature is a swan made out of ectoplasm. It is of a medium 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 assaulting alcoholics. Many of the dead were found with only the hair remaining uneaten. The few survivors of the attacks remembered the creeks and streams all ran dry. Additionally, Centipedes were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found withered and dessicated as though they had aged 60 years and then been left out in the desert sun.
The second 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 Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Bite of Death and Soul Eat power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it and an obsessive mind that forced it to count and calculate small objects.

The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found several villages over. The WitchHammers had been transformed into half-human and half monster hybrids.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Heart Ripper and Monstrous 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 explode on death into a pool of baneful acid. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to the sun and a severe vulnerability to Poison.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a medium crow made up of rotting flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by hunting down the elderly. Many of the dead were found stuffed into crude and shallow graves. 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 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 Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Life Draining Gaze 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 block out all light around itself. The beast was even more difficult to kill as its skin proved to be fatally poisonous. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a continual stream of tears that it shed which made it easy to track, a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, and sensitive eyes that make bright lights very painful.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge pig made up of vines. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Kenmore. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering everyone but men. Many of the dead were found with their faces blue and gasping. It seems their hearts completely gave out. The few survivors of the attacks remembered fruit trees and other crops grew wicked thorns. Additionally, the weather became unseasonably cold and harsh winds wailed.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found splashed with a half gallon of poison.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Poison Bolt power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it faked its death and then returned to the fight on the next day. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain, a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights, and a hatred of its own image that makes flee in terror from mirrors.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small sized creature, made up of vines in the shape of a bear. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Loch Lomond. The creature started its attacks by slaying the men. Many of the dead were found with their neck torn open. The few survivors of the attacks remembered crops withered and died over several days. 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 isolated and alone. It appears that the hunters split up before being individually killed.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Siren Call 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 store the blood and powers of its victims in a giant reservoir in its belly. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was a wary and cunning foe and it merged into and hid within trees. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights, a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain, and heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of bone in the shape of a crab. 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 the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found with their teeth missing. 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.



After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its 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 the bodies of those it killed and use the dead as its puppets. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it separated its head from its body to attack us and to avoid a final destruction. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a soft underbelly that was easily wounded, a severe vulnerability to the sun, and a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 693, the creature is a baboon made out of caustic ooze. It is of a huge size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Oykel. The creature started its attacks by assaulting their horses. Many of the dead were found with their neck torn open. The few survivors of the attacks remembered all the wild animals and game in the area disappearing. Additionally, strange smells coming from a nearby pond.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with ugly stab wounds and tears across their bodies.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Spine Blade power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an obsessive desire to play games of skill against worthy opponents, a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, and a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine.

The beast is a medium pig made up of animated fire. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Uterga. The creature started its attacks by slaying their cattle. Many of the dead were found torn apart in a nearby cave. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their cows stopped giving milk. Additionally, 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 with expressions of bliss in their dead eyes despite the fact their chests were torn open.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entrancing 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 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 unlikely fear of those with good and pure hearts, an incurable greed for Jewelry that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety, and a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 802, the creature is a penguin made out of living ice. It is of a large size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Sardas. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering alcoholics. Many of the dead were found with strange worms crawling inside them. The few survivors of the attacks remembered the town well went bad and gave off a terribly foul stench. 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 gored to death. One of the bodies had a large chunk of antler broken off in its chest cavity.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Combat Antlers 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 store the blood and powers of its victims in a giant reservoir in its belly. 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 heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large spider made up of ectoplasm. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering the men. Many of the dead were found without their intestines and stomach. The few survivors of the attacks remembered a fearful pillar of darkness that was seen in the distance. The pillar faded a few minutes after midday.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found withered and dessicated as though they had aged 60 years and then been left out in the desert sun.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Gaze of Death power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it masked itself in human form to avoid hunters, it was surrounded by an aura of shadow and darkness that made it difficult to see, and 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 an inability to see creatures that are perfectly still and motionless and a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large owl made up of animated fire. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Western Road. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering the women. Many of the dead were found shriveled and dry with much of their hair missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered showers of falling stars were seen in the hours just before dawn.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found terribly burnt on the front half of their bodies. Their clothes were half burnt and the front of their armor was twisted in the extreme heat.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Immolation 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 gain increased power during Noon Hour. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a rather dull and stupid mind, a strange but immense fear of spheres, and an incurable appetite for Sugar that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a small gorilla made up of living shadow. 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 broken down and depressed people. Many of the dead were found torn apart in a nearby cave. The few survivors of the attacks remembered burned circles and trails were found in the turf. Additionally, not a single normal cloud was seen in the sky for days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their wrists and throat cut by a single claw.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their blades in each other's guts.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Paralyzing Breath and Glamour 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 could hear the very thoughts of nearby people. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it turned to mist to escape their assault. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants, a severe weakness to flashing or strobing lights, and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a beetle made out of mummified flesh, 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 Western Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting their cattle. Many of the dead were found with their hands and wrists missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered Small Snakes were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks. Additionally, their livestock became sick and covered in foul sores.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found dried and dessicated and drained of all life.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gored to death by small horns.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with plague boils across their bodies and poison distending their veins.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Shadow Spirit, Bull Horns, and Sickly 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 block out all light around itself, devour corpses to add their bone and muscle to its own, and fight and dodge with unearthly speed. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine, a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world, and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of living ice in the shape of a penguin. 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 their cattle. Many of the dead were found with their eyes missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered the weather became unseasonably cold and harsh winds wailed. Additionally, the nearby creeks froze overnight and did not thaw out for days.

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.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Limb Enervation 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 travel through the shadow-world. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it faked its death and then returned to the fight on the next day. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Bear Urine, a love of its own image that can leave it entranced for hours, and a rather impressive level of stupidity.

Toughness: **********

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 705, the creature is a crawfish made out of fungus. It is of a huge 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 the elderly. Many of the dead were found with their hands and wrists missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered seeing enormous flocks of Silver butterflies migrating through the region.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with stinger and poison wounds.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Poison Tipped Stinger power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was covered in a thick bone-shell. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain and a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large giraffe 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 assaulting their horses. Many of the dead were found with their neck torn open. The few survivors of the attacks remembered showers of falling stars were seen in the hours just before dawn. Additionally, the nearby creeks froze overnight and did not thaw out for days.

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 Phrandal 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. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a rather dull and stupid mind and an incurable appetite for Beer that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a small rat made up of living shadow. 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 babies. Many of the dead were found with their feet missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered burned circles and trails were found in the turf. Additionally, Gray Moths were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks.

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.
The second 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 Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Flash Freeze Breath and Malevolent Vibration power that it used to kill the previous WitchHammers. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it twisted light around itself to be entirely invisible and it was protected by a layer of cold and shadowy armor. 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 Cow Urine.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge horse 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 preying upon those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found with broken bones and horribly twisted bodies. The few survivors of the attacks remembered fiddle strings broke and drums became infested with insects. One man's trombone rusted straight through. 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 crumpled up in agony from multiple venom injections.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found sliced and cut into dozens of pieces. Hands and limbs littered the battlefield.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Injecting Proboscis and Crab Claws 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 nearly naked and bereft of any weapons and strike at great distance with its absurdly long neck. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it used its iron like hide to shattered many of their weapons. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to the sun, a continual stream of tears that it shed which made it easy to track, and a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else.

The beast looks like a large caterpillar made up of fungus. 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 preying upon several people who had taken sick. Many of the dead were found with only their Nose remaining. The few survivors of the attacks remembered not a single normal cloud was seen in the sky for days.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found torn apart by scores of small animals and insects. The vermin infested every part of the corpses from the mouth to the intestines.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Vermin 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. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it masked itself in human form to avoid hunters and it faked its death and then returned to the fight on the next day. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were sensitive eyes that make bright lights very painful and a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a owl made out of living shadow, this huge sized beast is a great 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 slaughtering a club of crotchety old men. Many of the dead were found torn to pieces and scattered. The few survivors of the attacks remembered birds flocked to the area and say in rows along tree branches and roofs. 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 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 Claw 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 create new versions of itself out of the corpses of its victims and travel through the shadow-world. 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 though. Its main weakness were an incurable greed for Bold Hats that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety, a rather impressive level of stupidity, and heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace.

The beast looks like a medium pig made up of glowing gems and silver wire. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Ayones.

The few survivors of the attacks remembered a giant toad stool was found behind a rotten tree and trails of smaller toad stools were found across the ground.

Furthermore, he noted 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. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it could befog the minds and memory of its attackers. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an immense antipathy to WarMaterialVariants, a moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain, and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Strength: Very Strong: This creature is as strong as a professional weight lifter. It can hurl stones and bodies across a room. +1 atk, +4 dmg.
Ability: Death Curse: As the creature dies, it will try to pull down a powerful curse upon its most hated foe. This requires that the creature has a turn before death, can speak, and can see its target, and that the target can hear the curse. The curse will cause the target health problems and ill luck, and is usually fatal in 13 to 41 days. Some clever people have been able to outwit a poorly worded or inexact curse.
Ability: Rotting Stench: A gagging, rotting stench causes enemies within short range to take -5 Atk and Def.

Weakness: Skin Shield: Needs to wear the skin of other creatures in order to survive in the world. Otherwise loses powers, takes Malus.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge worm made up of living shadow. 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 slaughtering their horses. Many of the dead were found shriveled and dry with much of their hair missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their cattle went mad and began braining them selves against trees and writhing in agonized heaps on the ground. Additionally, children wasted away and often died.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found torn into pieces.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Rampage 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 place a baneful curse upon the WitchHammer who had defeated it and exude a rotting stench that choked all nearby. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it fled once it realized the battle had turned against it. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world, and an incurable greed for Gold that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of living shadow in the shape of a gorilla. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Western Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting young children. Many of the dead were found stuffed into crude and shallow graves. The few survivors of the attacks remembered burned circles and trails were found in the turf. Additionally, bats plagued them. They would swarm at night and harass any person or animal outside at night.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found crumpled up in agony from multiple venom injections.
The second 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 Injecting Proboscis and Soul Eat 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. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Man Urine and a love of its own image that can leave it entranced for hours.

Weakness: Blinding hunger: Once it starts feeding, finds it extremely difficult to stop. If it is being attacked or is facing imminent harm, can make Hard Will Saves to break free of this compulsion. Can make one such save per round.
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 if the party doesn't have any particular moral explars.

The beast is a huge sized creature, made up of caustic ooze in the shape of a crawfish. 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 preying upon those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found bloated and in shallow graves. The few survivors of the attacks remembered finding every duck and geese in the region dead one morning. The fowl's heads were bitten off.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found warped into the semblance of strange hybrids that were half man and half fish.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mermogenic 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 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 moist skin which if ever dried out would cause it crippling pain and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

The creature started its attacks by slaying their cattle. Many of the dead were found with their hands and feet 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. 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 torn into pieces.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Rampage 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 the bodies of those it killed and use the dead as its puppets. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it employed some strange magic that shattered their weapons whenever they touched its body. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a weakness for song and a fear and pain of the pure sound of bells.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Ortega in 690, the creature is a hound 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 Tormaleo. The creature started its attacks by assaulting the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found bloated and in shallow graves. The few survivors of the attacks remembered Gray Moths were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks. Additionally, terrible dreams and nightmares.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with plague boils across their bodies and poison distending their veins.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Sickly 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 see in all directions using its many eyes, twist and crush its victims with its absurdly long body, and travel through the shadow-world. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was surrounded by an aura of shadow and darkness that made it difficult to see. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace, a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine, and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

Historical Notes:
First dissected by Cabezia in 693, the creature is a turtle made out of animated fire. It is of a medium 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 hunting down the magically talented. Many of the dead were found with their skin and fat chewed away. 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.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found cut and pummeled to death. Several had been disarmed before death and had their weapons lying yards away.
The second 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.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Combat Master and Boiling Blood 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 blind enemies with an immense light that flowed from its body. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it shrugged off the worst of their mystical attacks, it was surrounded by constant whipping winds, and 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 an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety, a rather impressive level of stupidity, and a severe vulnerability to Lye.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a iguana made out of animated fire, 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 Eastern Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting the newly dead and buried. Many of the dead were found rotted and left in the sun. The few survivors of the attacks remembered they found odd geometric inscribed in the bark of trees nearby.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with violent bite marks on their face and shoulders.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Three Headed 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. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were an insatiable thirst for blood that it pursues even at the cost of its own safety and heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a huge beetle made up of bone. 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 slaying young children. Many of the dead were found torn and twisted together into horrific flesh-castles. The few survivors of the attacks remembered strange sounds coming from the attic of a victim's house.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found terribly trampled and crushed into ground.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Trample 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 travel through mirrors, enslave the bodies of those it killed and use the dead as its puppets, and see in all directions using its many eyes. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a severe vulnerability to Wolf Urine, a love of its own image that can leave it entranced for hours, and heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large sized creature, made up of caustic ooze in the shape of a crawfish. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Kyle. The creature started its attacks by assaulting their horses. Many of the dead were found torn apart in a nearby cave. The few survivors of the attacks remembered crops and trees became withered and dry. They would crumble at the slightest touch. Additionally, showers of falling stars were seen in the hours just before dawn.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found torn into pieces.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their hearts messily removed from their chests.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Rampage and Heart Ripper 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 see in all directions using its many eyes, hide itself in an aura of mist and fog, and uses it enticing colored salamander frills to beguile and daze foes. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it seemed barely hurt by their normal weapons. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace and a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it.

First dissected by Ortega in 811, the creature is a crab made out of flowing glass. It is of a huge size. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Rona. The creature started its attacks by hunting down their Dog.

Several houses burned down and a patch of woods went up in flames.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found warped into the semblance of strange hybrids that were half man and half fish.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Phrandal and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mermogenic 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 move great distance on its absurdly long legs.

First dissected by Shannon in 713, the creature is a caterpillar made out of bone. It is of a large size. 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.

The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their limbs all floppy and their bones broken in dozens of places. They had no surface injuries and seem to have died purely from internal trauma.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Injecting Proboscis and Bone Breaking 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 create new versions of itself out of the corpses of its victims.

Its main weakness were a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world, a soft underbelly that was easily wounded, and a severe vulnerability to Man Urine.

In his report on the battle, he noted its Shadow Spirit and Siren Call 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 exude a rotting stench that choked all nearby. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it simply shrugged off all Elemental Variant attacks and it was protected by a layer of cold and shadowy armor. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were a strange but immense fear of spheres and a severe vulnerability to Cow Urine.

The beast looks like a small beetle made up of living shadow. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Dufftown. The creature started its attacks by slaughtering young children. Many of the dead were found torn and twisted together into horrific flesh-castles.

Terrible Hyberborean Barrow Maggot

Skill: ***

Muscle: *

Toughness: *************

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge maggot made up of mummified flesh. 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 hunting down their horses. Many of the dead were found without their femurs. 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 shambling zombies who had joined the creature in its hunt.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with terrible wounds in their back and trails of tears wiping a clean trail down their faces.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Breath of Unlife and Fear 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 block out all light around itself. 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 though. Its main weakness were a vile skin that it wore in order to exist and function in our world, a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, and a severe vulnerability to the sun.

Strength: Normal Strength: This creature has no unnatural strength advantage, outside of those provided by its shape and aspect.
Attack: Cold Aura: The area around the creature is intensely cold. Has a slight effect at medium range, and doubles the effect at close range. At medium range the cold causes a cumulative -1 Malus and a -2 to max Poise. Takes effect at end of round.
Ability: Rotting Stench: A gagging, rotting stench causes enemies within short range to take -5 Atk and Def.
Ability: Crow Cloud: Can transform into a murder of crows. Will typically use this ability to escape serious danger, or to move itself into an advantageous position. The transformation into crows is immediate and allows movement on the same round. Reforming back into the normal creature takes 3 rounds as the crows gather together and swirl. Damage done to the crow crowd will transfer to the creature when it reforms, though it is difficult to fully kill the creature without killing all of the crows. Killing all of the crows but 1-2 will at least delay the creature's re-formation for years, if not forever.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a worm made out of rotting flesh, this huge 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 preying upon those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found without their intestines and stomach. 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 curled up on themselves for warmth. Some had gruesome wounds while others seem to have simply froze to death.
The second 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.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found curled up in agony from poison.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Shannon and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Cold Aura, Choking Aura, and Poison tipped scorpion claws 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 exude a rotting stench that choked all nearby, transform into a swarm of crows, and inflict victims with a hideous infection of ColorVariants Butterflies. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was surrounded by an aura of shadow and darkness that made it difficult to see, it carried a murderous swarm of bees within its body, and it was protected by a layer of cold and shadowy armor. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were a coffin that it must eternally drag behind it, a severe vulnerability to Bear Urine, and a hatred of its own image that makes it destroy mirrors before all else.

Weakness: Spheresome: 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 started its attacks by hunting down the men. Many of the dead were found with their heads ripped off and the rest of them not looking too good either. 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 dried and dessicated and drained of all life.
The second 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 Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Shadow Spirit and 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 devour corpses to gain some of their power and exude a rotting stench that choked all nearby. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it used its iron like hide to shattered many of their weapons and it was so damnably fast and difficult to hit. In the end, the creature was defeated. Its main weakness were heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace and a strange but immense fear of spheres.

Historical Notes:
The beast looks like a huge beetle made up of warped flesh. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Bustabernego. The creature started its attacks by assaulting their cattle. Many of the dead were found with organs torn out and buried nearby. 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 violent bite marks on their face and shoulders.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his highly trained WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Three Headed 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 see in all directions using its many eyes. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it masked itself as a common treasure chest. In the end, the creature was defeated though. Its main weakness were an unlikely fear of those with good and pure hearts, a continual stream of tears that it shed which made it easy to track, and a soft underbelly that was easily wounded.

Historical Notes:
The beast is a large sized creature, made up of mummified flesh in the shape of a baboon. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one plagued a caravan on the Estovokian Road. The creature started its attacks by assaulting young children. Many of the dead were found with their eyes missing. The few survivors of the attacks remembered their livestock became sick and covered in foul sores. Additionally, long trails of bloody footprints were found criss crossing the land.

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

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Cabezia and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Entropic Fist, Fear Scream, and 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 reason and think much more cleverly than a common beast and devour corpses to add their bone and muscle to its own. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it had an insidious aura that clouded and befuddled the minds of its attackers and it twisted light around itself to hide all but its eyes and mouth. 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 heavy boots of iron which slowed its pace.

Historical Notes:
Shaped like a scorpion made out of bone, this huge sized beast is a great danger. The creature first came to the attention of the WitchHammers when one destroyed The village of Hornillos. The creature started its attacks by preying upon those who were asleep. Many of the dead were found torn apart in a nearby cave. The few survivors of the attacks remembered Small Snakes were particularly bold and numerous before the attacks. Additionally, terrible dreams and nightmares.

The first group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gored to death by a giant tusk and with many broken bones.
The second group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found with their blades in each other's guts.
The third group of WitchHammers to hunt the creature were found gored to death by small horns.

After these attempts, the beast was killed by Ortega and his WitchHammers. In his report on the battle, he noted its Mono Horn, Glamour, and Bull Horns 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 devour corpses to gain some of their power, extinguish torches or fires with a single glance, and block out all light around itself. The beast was even more difficult to kill as it was protected by a layer of cold and shadowy armor, it could summon gale-force winds to protect itself from attackers, 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 soft underbelly that was easily wounded, an unlikely fear of those with good and pure hearts, and a love of flattery and compliments that makes it forget all else.
