===The Inhumanoids===

;[[Saurus]]: Creatures of enormous appetites and very little brain, Sauruses tend to do a lot of running around. The Saurus is scaly and lizard-like with highly developed hind quarters upon which it runs, and small, under-developed front legs used to grasp food. its large mouth is filled with sharp teeth. Despite its fearsome appearance, it is remarkably easily defeated by the seasoned adventurer.

;[[Mantray]]: Assumed to be of magical origin, the Mantray has the abilities of camouflage, flight, and controlled lightning. Resembling a cross between a [[Manta Ray]] and a [[Sting Ray]], it lives in forested areas where it conceals itself upon the ground, awaiting the unwary

;[[Moose]]: A moose is a large, ungainly creature with great antlers.  It is prized by trophy hunters and as a result is oversensitive about losing its head.  It is therefore extremely temperamental, and has a wicked bite.

;[[Bear]]: A hungry or angry bear can be a fierce opponent. A quick swipe of sharp claws can make mincemeat of the average adventurer. A bear standing on its hind legs is obviously a bear to beware.

;[[Griffin]]: This cross between a lion and an eagle is usually found in the more arid regions around mountainous areas, but an occasional griffin has been spotted as far north as [[Spielburg Valley]]. The mobility of flight adds to the danger from the knife-edged claws and beak. The Griffin has a curious affinity for mock turtles.

;[[Cheetaur]]: The Cheetaur is noted for its speed and cunning. This cat-like creature with a humanoid torso has a deadly slashing combination of claws and bite. The northern variety is more panther-like and slower at running than its  slender southern cousin, but retains its swiftness in attack. Fortunately for the local inhabitants, Cheetaurs never prosper in the colder regions.

;[[Saurus Rex]]: This monster resembles a Saurus on steroids. Recommended strategy for encounters: Run away.

;[[Dragons]]: Avoid entirely unless you are already a certified Hero.
