Mummy
Description: Mummies are the preserved remains of Kings from long ago. Wrapped in bandages and embalmed in strange fluids, their people attempted to prepare the body of their Lord for the afterlife. Now reanimated by evil magics or sheer force of will of the deceased King, the body walks again, seeking the living for its own foul purposes. Mummies are a powerful form of undead and should one be spotted it would be wise to summon the aid of a Witch Hunter. They tend to have powers of rot and decay and although they are slow moving, they are extremely resilient.
Ogre
Description: The Ogre is a brutal and powerful humanoid that may or may not be related to the Goblinoid Races. Ogres are extremely strong and dangerous to encounter. They do however have a great weakness to magic based attacks and will be cautious while encountering mages.
Scaremortals
Description: Scaremortals are constructs made from the remains of poor souls that were trapped in the accursed Fields of Fallow. Once small children, enticed by unknown forces, they have been changed by the Fields into horrors that are not living, dead, or undead. They are extraordinarily resistant to physical damage, although fire will dispatch them quickly.
Skeletal Knight
Description: Skeletal Knights are the animated skeletal remains of a person of great power or prestige. More often than not Skeletal Knights are much more powerful than normal Skeletons. Usually a Skeletal Knight can be identified by the fact that it is capable of speech and will tend to wear clothes that are more distinguished looking than your run of the mill skeleton. As with all Undead, Healing, Silver, Magic and Faith based attacks are second best to the service of an accomplished Witch Hunter.
Were-Leopard
Description: A Were-Leopard is a type of were-creature also known as Lycanthrope or Shape-shifter. They are cursed with a terrible disease that makes them part man, part Leopard, with out control over their forms or abilities. Bone carved weapons are known to be a deterrent to these foul beings. Like undead, many Witch Hunters make a career out of stalking and slaying these wretched souls.
Were-Tiger
Description: A Were-Tiger is another type of Were-creature also known as Lycanthrope or Shape-shifter. They are cursed with a terrible disease that makes them part man, part tiger. Unlike most were creatures Were-Tigers have an easier time learning control over their transformations. Silver weapons are known to be a deterrent to these foul beings. Many Witch Hunters make a career out of stalking and slaying these wretched souls. It is rumored that a Were-Tiger's teeth are quite valuable, and can used in powerful rituals.
Wolf
Description: Wolves are canine creatures related to dogs but much more fierce and vicious. Wolves tend to travel in packs and are territorial. Many wolves have been spotted around Travance. Some are easily tamed by rangers or druids and are merely looking for food. Some are extremely wild and are driven by a deep hunger causing them to have little inhibition about attacking and eating a wandering citizen. They are extremely fast creatures and have razor sharp claws and teeth.
Ghoul
Description: Ghouls are undead with a bestial nature to them - where most lesser undead lack intelligence, ghouls show an animal-like cunning, as well as a hunger for the flesh of the living. They will commonly break off what they are doing to feast on an easy target, ripping their limbs off to gnaw on them. The touch of a ghoul is dangerous, and can paralyze its prey, making it easy to feast on.
