Leide

Reapertail

A large arthropod that thrives in dry climates. Though normally slow-moving, it can crawl through the sand with surprising swiftness and sting enemies with its barbed tail. Its venom gland shrank as its body grew, though, making its stinger relatively harmless.

Size: 13.55 ft. Weight: 291.4 lb.

Sabertusk

Alpha
An omnivorous and ferocious four-legged beast known to form packs and ravage the land. According to legend, it was once the guard dog of the king. Plagued by hunger, however, it ate the young prince, and this canine was cursed to suffer in its current form.

Size: 12.69 ft. Weight: 472.4 lb.

Sabertusk

Beta
A beast that has tormented mankind for ages. It wanders the wilderness, surrounding and attacking prey in a violent whirlwind of claws and fangs. This deadly foe should be slain on sight.

Size: 13.18 ft. Weight: 492.7 lb.

Sabertusk

Gamma
The most assertive of sabertusks. Though not all packs possess a leader, those led by an alphatusk are observed to exhibit more aggression. Some have even reported sabertusks rampaging through houses miles from their own natural habitat.

Size: 13.71 ft. Weight: 523.8 lb.

Flexitusk

An albino variant of the sabertusk seldom sighted roaming the plains of Leide. Many believe flexitusks to be more violent than their common counterparts, but scientists have yet to obtain sufficient figures to draw a definitive conclusion. Some have also noted a rise in flexitusk numbers immediately following military conflicts, but no data exists to support such speculation.

Size: 13.51 ft. Weight: 481.7 lb.

Mesmenir

Alpha
A mild-mannered, herbivorous creature with a large, blade-like horn atop its head. Thanks to its long and limber legs, the mesmenir can gallop at speeds that rival an automobile. Its vehicular potential is wasted, however, as this creature is not domesticated enough to ride.

Size: 11.54 ft. Weight: 1,570.1 lb.

Mesmenir

Beta
A subspecies of mesmenir spotted in the wilderness far from its natural habitat. Mesmenir in barren areas often lack the mild disposition normally attributed with their brethren. There have been numerous reports of rookie hunters losing their lives after foolishly approaching one and receiving a swift pair of hooves to the head.

Size: 11.71 ft. Weight: 1,596.8 lb.

Magnanir

A subspecies of mesmenir with a wild disposition. Some hunters have taken to climbing onto manganirs’ backs and competing to see who can hang on the longest—a highly dangerous pastime that has led to several problems among the administration at Meldacio HQ.

Size: 17.98 ft. Weight: 2.43 t

Dualhorn

Alpha
A large, two-horned herbivore commonly found throughout Leide. Using their sturdy legs to support them, they charge at enemies with their entire body weight. Their rough, armor-like skin protects them from both hunters and the heat.

Size: 15.19 ft. Weight: 3.72 t

Dualhorn

Beta
A male dualhorn spotted near Scotham Clough. He will venture far from his typical habitat in order to expand his territory. Upon entering a new area, the male often grows extremely wary and will lash out at those he feels could pose a threat.

Size: 21.12 ft. Weight: 13.95 t

Ashenhorn

A subspecies of dualhorn, lighter in color than the rest. Even a single ashenhorn is more dangerous than an entire herd of dualhorns. Countless rookie hunters have lost their lives trying to fell this beast while foraging for food; the irony is that ashenhorn meat is unfit for human consumption.

Size: 16.79 ft. Weight: 6.67 t

Grandhorn

A subspecies of dualhorn with a sturdy build and a stalwart stature. The grandhorn is rumored to charge with enough force to topple even the king of beasts himselfthe behemoth. Its wild behavior inspired the Hunters’ saying to “charge in like a grandhorn,” words meant to instill courage and dispel doubt before a difficult mission.

Size: 24.31 ft. Weight: 21.34 t

Bloodhorn

Alpha
A daemonic dualhorn recognized by its red horns and tusks. What it lacks in strength, it makes up for in agility. Reported to be extraordinarily aggressive, it is best approached with caution and disposed of with efficiency.

Size: 27.69 ft. Weight: 31.89 t

Bloodhorn

Beta
A bloodhorn variant inhabiting the Duscae region. Although originally discovered in Leide, this half-daemon was recently spotted by a group of hunters exploring the Mencemoor. This savage creature not only boasts great agility, but also possesses more strength than its dualhorn cousins.

Size: 28.08 ft. Weight: 34.33 t

Anak

Alpha
A long-necked herbivore living in Leide. Scientists suspect its spine lengthened over time so it could pick the leaves and fruits off tall trees in an otherwise barren region. The females create herds around prominent males and raise their young together.

Size: 20.76 ft. Weight: 4.87 t

Anak

Beta
A female anak that migrates with an anakadom. Females with a mate or children are normally passive and do not display aggression toward others, but unpartnered anak have been known to attack passing cars to relieve frustration when mating season approaches.

Size: 21.26 ft. Weight: 4.92 t

Anak Stag

A long-necked herbivore living in Leide. During mating season, the male can be seen showing off its antlers to the females and threatening other males with them. Biologists note this intimidating display is quite anomalous for a creature known for its otherwise gentle disposition.

Size: 24.01 ft. Weight: 7.05 t

Anak Calf

A long-necked herbivore living in Leide. Antlers do not begin growing in for several years; thus, a young anak’s gender cannot be determined from afar. Calves typically feed on small trees and grasses, as well as fruit picked from taller trees by their parents.

Size: 13.81 ft. Weight: 1.49 t

Anaklaban

A white-tinged anak almost genetically identical to her brethren. Her unique color is a byproduct of her environment that works in her favor when looking for a mate. Hunters view her presence as a threat, however, as males become aggressive while vying for her affection—with some inadvertently lashing out at humans.

Size: 21.75 ft. Weight: 5.08 t

Anakadom

A red-tinged anak almost genetically identical to her brethren. Her color is advantageous when trying to attract a mate. Unfortunately, her enticing hue also creates chaotic competition among all other anak in the area—male and female alike—so hunters try to take down these red rogues as quickly as possible.

Size: 21.35 ft. Weight: 5.03 t

Stoneshears

Land-dwelling crustacean that pierces its prey with a pair of powerful pincers. Its sturdy shell is made of a much stronger substance than the chitinous material that composes the carapaces of common crabs. Unlike the Cygillan crab, however, the stoneshears possess very little edible meat.

Size: 6.46 ft. Weight: 745.3 t

Rubyshears

Bright-underbellied subspecies of stoneshears. Much like its progenitor, the rubyshears prefers the shade of caves and Cliffsides. When mating season rolls around, several of the strongest specimens start patrolling the area around the nest, attacking any and all who approach.

Size: 6.62 ft. Weight: 765.0 t

Sparkshears

Crimson-colored subspecies of stoneshears. It swings its claw skyward with a flash of red, then sends it crashing back down to crush opponents. This carnivorous crustacean has been known to prey on any who approach, causing concern among beachgoers.

Size: 16.86 ft. Weight: 5.73 t

Coeurl

Alpha
Lean and limber predator whose whiskers acquire charge from naturally-occurring electric particles in the atmosphere, giving it the ability to project current. The sly coeurl will often wait patiently by hunter-laid traps and steal the quarry for itself.

Size: 19.42 ft. Weight: 1,793 lb.

Coeurl

Beta
The coeurl is capable of psionic communication via its whiskers, which transmit thought at a specific frequency over considerable distances, making the coeurl that cohabitates Scotham Clough with an elder coeurl twice as cunning.

Size: 19.29 ft. Weight: 1,770.7 lb.

Coeurl

Gamma
A denizen of the depths of Daurell Caverns that has abandoned its pack instinct in order to better hunt within cave confines. This acquired self-reliance expresses itself in a ferocity and fortitude that far surpasses anything exhibited by its open-air brethren.

Size: 20.11 ft. Weight: 1,924.4 lb.

Daggerquill

Brightly colored bird boasting extremely tough tail feathers. Its pretty plumage is a familiar sight to the folks of Leide, who hunt the bird for sport. Daggerquill down is often sewn into the lining of coats and blankets for added warmth. Farmers in the region even use daggerquill droppings to rejuvenate infertile soil.

Size: 8.36 ft. Weight: 192.2 lb.

Cactuar

Alpha
Quick-footed creature shrouded in mystery. Rumors about this legendary spiny sprinter running across the continent date back to antiquity, yet few have actually seen the cactuar with their own eyes. It is said to launch exactly 1,000 needles at its foes in self-defense, but biologists have yet to find an explanation for the precision of its attack.

Size: 2.36 ft. Weight: 12.7 lb.

Cactuar

Beta
Cactaur that appeared in great number in the Causcherry Plains of Duscae, scientists were stumped by this occurrence since the cactuar typically prefers a life of solitude. Thankfully for Duscaean citizens, the Hunters quickly quelled the situation, now known as “The Night of 100,000 Needles.”

Size: 2.33 ft. Weight: 11.9 lb.

Cactuar

Gamma
Cactuar encountered atop the Duscaean Arches. While it may seem strange to find anything but birds so far above ground, some biologists hypothesize this specimen ascended to such heights in order to aid its own pollination process, implying that the cactuar is an anemophilous species.

Size: 2.36 ft. Weight: 12.5 lb.

Slactuar

Alpha
Quick-footed creature that enjoys lazing around. Much like its speedy sibling, the slactuar has rarely been spotted in the wild. Perhaps because of its proclivity toward resting up whenever possible, this cactuar subspecies exhibits slightly more resilience than its progenitor.

Size: 2.39 ft. Weight: 13.0 lb.

Slactuar

Beta
Slactuar that appeared in great number in the Causcherry Plains of Duscae. Hunters and scientists alike were baffled by this sudden and unprecedented outbreak, now dubbed “The Night of 100,000 Needles.” Biologists have set out to understand why this surge in population occurred, but their research has not yet borne fruit.

Size: 2.36 ft. Weight: 12.7 lb.

Slactuar

Gamma
Slactuar encountered atop the Duscaean Arches. Scientists have proposed several theories regarding why everyone’s favorite flora was discovered so far above sea level, the most prominent of which being that the slactuar wanted to relax and enjoy a nice view where humans would never tread.

Size: 2.39 ft. Weight: 13.0 lb.

Gigantaur

Enormous cactuar that has spent many moons running around the entire world of Eos. It is said that the longer a cactuar runs, the more it grows. Some especially long-lived gigantaur have even surpassed adult humans in height. Because of its excessive size, however, the gigantaur is viewed by many as a threat and thus targeted by the Hunters.

Size: 8.36 ft. Weight: 536.6 lb.

Rogue Behemoth

Subspecies spotted prowling the ruins of northern Leide. When one behemoth encroaches upon another’s territory, a vicious battle ensues, with the stronger beast claiming the space as its own. This specimen is one such displaced creature, now weary from wandering in search of a new home.

Size: 68.40 ft. Weight: 164.61 t

Behemoth

Dubbed “King of the Beasts,” this ferocious creature possesses power nigh unparalleled throughout the animal kingdom. Its name is said to have been derived from the Astral similarly revered for his peerless strength and feared for his overwhelming aura: the Bladekeeper, Bahamut.

Size: 69.98 ft. Weight: 173.43 t

Jormungand

Alpha
Sizable serpent with a fire burning in its belly. Its cellular composition includes large quantities of carbonized metal, allowing it to produce and spew forth scorching heat without burning itself. Controlling its own body temperature requires considerable effort, however, and the jormungand thus often retreats to the cool waters of the sewers to recover.

Size: 133.03 ft. Weight: 105.35 t

Jormungand

Beta
Jormungand spotted slithering around the sewers of Lucis. This specimen was first encountered by an experienced explorer while searching for a certain piece of machinery. With no one left to maintain the underground aqueducts, it fell to the Hunters to exterminate this beast.

Size: 134.41 ft. Weight: 108.34 t

Jormungand

Gamma
Jormungand discovered in a set of ancient Solheim ruins. Having adapted to the harsh underground atmosphere, its strength easily surpasses that of similar serpents. The blaze burning within its body is said to grow stronger every year. One could only imagine what sort of havoc it might wreak were it ever to head above ground.

Size: 135.43 ft. Weight: 124.27 t

Bennu

Subspecies of zu dubbed the “blue-winged terror” due to the hue of its plumage. Much like the zu, it flies in from afar during breeding season. Although deemed quite dangerous, the bennu is a relatively low priority target for the Hunters due to the infrequency with which it appears and the risk of intense retaliation should the hunt fail.

Size: 309.12 ft. Weight: 4,687.53 t

Manxom

Accursed draconic monster mentioned in the myths of Eos. Its fantastical features seem to spit in the face of evolutionary science. Some suggest it may be the ancestral origin of all reptilian life, but scientists have uncovered no evidence to support this claim.

Size: 101.96 ft. Weight: 221.05 t

Behemoth King

Alpha
Lord of all beasts, made mightier and more menacing by a sudden mutation that caused it to sprout great wings. Even the most psychotic of daemons dares not approach the king, whose blood-chilling roar is infused with the power of ice.

Size: 92.42 ft. Weight: 451.68 t

Behemoth King

Beta
A king among kings, this subspecies of behemoth kneels before no beast. It bounds in to an area without warning, upending the entire local ecosystem in so doing. Its tendency to strike suddenly and violently has drawn comparisons to the unforeseen falling of the Meteor in the age of the gods.

Size: 92.06 ft. Weight: 442.34 t

Adamantoise

Largest and oldest living creature known to man. Said to have been born at the dawn of time itself, the adamantoise first appears in documents produced circa the advent of the Kingdom of Lucis. According to said records, metal procured from its shell was used in the construction of conduits used to channel the Crystal’s power into the Wall around the Crown City.

Size: 2,340.97 ft. Weight: 17,398,421.50 t

Duscae

Garula

Alpha
Large quadrupedal mammal that forms herds around a matriarch. Although this gentle giant can be found all across Eos, it resides mainly in the plains of Duscae. Gentle by nature, the Garula only attacks when provoked.

Size: 15.68 ft. Weight: 9.21 t

Garula

Beta
Garula that got separated from its herd. A life of solitude has hardened this once gentle giant’s heart. Although most garula will reunite with their original herds after a period of grazing solo, these loners are known to occasionally form new herds with other outsiders.

Size: 15.88 ft. Weight: 9.52 t

Garulet

Young garula still learning how to walk. Despite viewing the garulessa as a maternal figure, the garulet does not rely on a single mother for support, instead being raised by the herd as a whole. If one of their young is threatened, the mother garula will all band together to take down the attacker and protect the garulet from harm.

Size: 8.89 ft. Weight: 1.74 t

Green Garula

Subspecies of garula with a verdant hue. This beast once inhabited the western reaches of the Lucian continent, but it gradually migrated eastward, now sharing the plains of Duscae with its more common yet physiologically identical counterparts.

Size: 16.24 ft. Weight: 9.80 t

Garulessa

Alpha
Enormous garulan mother, chosen from among the other females in the herd. After proving herself in a fierce competition for superiority, the garulessa puts her impressive musculature to use, defending her herd from the threat of outsiders by unleashing an aggressive assault.

Size: 23.55 ft. Weight: 31.10 t

Garulessa

Beta
Garulessa who has lost her herd to humans or hungry beasts. Turned savage in her despair, she now lashes out at any and all who approach—a cause for considerable alarm among the Hunters. Some specimens have even been known to turn against their own, blinded by rage.

Size: 23.68 ft. Weight: 31.36 t

Voretooth

Alpha
Close cousin of the sabertusk. Similar to its relative, the voretooth hunts in packs and ravages crops around Duscae. Unlike the sabertusk, however, this predator developed a venom gland in its tail through evolution, which allows it to fell foes much larger than itself.

Size: 12.92 ft. Weight: 475.1 t

Voretooth

Beta
Ferocious vorteooth that has marked the Malacchi Hills of eastern Duscae as its territory. Concerned for wild birds inhabiting the same area, Chocobo Post owner Wiz Forlane called in a request to the Hunters to exterminate this voracious omnivore.

Size: 13.18 ft. Weight: 481.4 lb.

Voretooth

Gamma
Voretooth lurking deep below the Daurell Caverns. A single one of these beasts possesses enough to plow through an entire pack of its superterranean siblings. Scientists suggest said strength is resultant of adapting to the harsh conditions underground.

Size: 13.51 ft. Weight: 525.1 lb.

Voretooth

Delta
Voretooth said to spend most of its time traipsing through the Balouve Mines. Although the species as a whole possesses subterranean tendencies, this particular specimen has demonstrated power far greater than that of its peers. Those who venture into the mines are advised to exercise caution—and pack a few antidotes just in case.

Size: 14.04 ft. Weight: 533.7 lb.

Yellowtooth

Slightly jaundiced variant of the voretooth. It stalks the Alstor Slough, waiting for its prey to get stuck in the muck, then launching a pack-wide attack. The threat of a yellowtooth ambush has scared many would-be anglers away from Neeglyss Pond in recent years, but the Hunters are hoping to rectify the situation at long last.

Size: 13.64 ft. Weight: 491.4 lb.

Bulette

Alpha
Carnivorous creature with a sturdy shell on its back. In spite of its sluggish appearance, it charges forward at impressive speeds when it curls up into a ball. The lines that line its shell function not only as a defense mechanism, but as a means of increasing torque when rolling.

Size: 9.97 ft. Weight: 1.24 t

Bulette

Beta
Bulette sighted rolling around southern Duscae alongside a variant species. If its combative impulses are not sated for an extended period of time, this beast may lash out at its companions. Herds split by such strife grow even more aggressive, wreaking havoc on civilian homes and thusly earning the ire of the Hunters.

Size: 10.23 ft. Weight: 1.28 t

Skarnbulette

Bulette specimen noted for its red pigmentation. While this genetic anomaly is naturally occurring, few have been spotted in the wild. The skarnbulette is responsible for much of the in-fighting observed among bulette herds and is often seen later leading the charge against unsuspecting civilians.

Size: 10.33 ft. Weight: 1.45 t

Killer Bee

Alpha
Oversized insect said to have grown through continued exposure to the warmth of the Meteor. A highly social creature, each bee fulfills a specific role in the colony. In the case of the killer bee, it primarily procures food for its brethren and defends the hive from any who would do it harm.

Size: 3.87 ft. Weight: 46.9 lb.

Killer Bee

Beta
Killer bee responsible for a bevy of reported attacks along the Coernix Bypass. While this insect primarily forages for food, it is also known to preemptively attack potential aggressors—a tendency that deters future homeowners from purchasing real estate near nests.

Size: 3.87 ft. Weight: 47.4 lb.

Brutal Bee

Subspecies of killer bee tasked with keeping the queen from harm. Its red pigmentation serves as a warning to predators. Those who approach the hive undaunted by danger suffer a series of stings they will not soon forget. This specimen’s aggressive tendencies have earned it a top spot on the Hunters’ bounty list.

Size: 3.93 ft. Weight: 48.0 lb.

Dynoaevis

Close relative of the daggerquill. Having adapted to the sweltering heat and turbulent updrafts of the Disc of Cauthess, the dynoaevis soars around the complex chasms with ease. It possesses few natural predators and thus lives in relative peace, but is also quite sensitive to any substance in its environment.

Size: 8.23 ft. Weight: 45.2 lb.

Hundlegs

Alpha
Large arthropod most commonly sighted in sticky swamps and forests. Though rather small in its incipient stages, the hundlegs multiplies in size as it develops, growing larger than most humans after a few years and continuing to grow until it dies.

Size: 17.84 ft. Weight: 453.7 lb.

Hundlegs

Beta
Hundlegs that struggles to survive in an area low on sustenance. This specimen boasts incredible strength but is otherwise biologically identical to the common hundlegs.

Size: 18.11 ft. Weight: 461.6 lb.

Redlegs

Green-shelled, crimson-legged subspecies of hundlegs originally sighted near the Taelpar Rest Area. Able to survive even the most arid of climates, this omnivorous insect has gradually grown its sphere of influence to include drier regions as well. This continuous expansion has caused concern among the Hunters.

Size: 18.40 ft. Weight: 470.6 lb.

Gigantoad

Alpha
Abnormally large amphibian found all across Duscae. Although typically limited to living near bodies of water, the gigantoad is known to venture outside of its figurative comfort zone during downpours—much to the surprise of unsuspecting hikers.

Size: 22.57 ft. Weight: 27.65 t

Gigantoad

Beta
The toad is one of the oldest denizens of Eos, dating back to the age of gods, and the gigantoad is among the eldest extant species. Its large organs can withstand the toxins of polluted waters, and its capacity to retain water can sustain it for days, even in desert conditions.

Size: 22.60 ft. Weight: 27.66 t

Arba

Alpha
Long-necked, arc-horned herbivore whose only known surviving relative is the anak, though fossilized remains suggest an extended family of numerous offshoot species that have since gone extinct. With weaker chromatic vision than the anak, the arba tends to favor size as a primary criterion when selecting a mate.

Size: 30.34 ft. Weight: 14.87 t

Arba

Beta
This notoriously voracious grazer has been led away from its native habitat by the arbagadol, and could potentially wreak havoc on the ecosystem of the Kelbass Grasslands if left to feed unfettered.

Size: 30.54 ft. Weight: 14.95 t

Arbagadol

An arba specimen that has grown to enormous proportions. Its awe-inspiring immensity renders it irresistible to mate-seeking arba, and the exorbitant bounty on its horns renders it irresistible to hunters hard up for gil.

Size: 47.54 ft. Weight: 61.38 t

Elder Coeurl

Alpha
While lacking pigment on the whole, the hide of this subspecies is often flecked with black spots. This is one of several evolutionary offshoots of the common coeurl, born of the breed’s ability to thrive amid a variety of harsh conditions.

Size: 19.94 ft. Weight: 1,880.7 lb.

Elder Coeurl

Beta
A vindictive elder coeurl seen stalking Thommels Glade. At the moment of death, coeurls have been observed to electromagnetically transmit a sort of “psionic death cry” that will summon elder coeurls in the area to reap reprisal, and this specimen has proven particularly vengeful.

Size: 20.07 ft. Weight: 1,885.8 lb.

Elder Coeurl

Gamma
An elder coeurl in common company at Scotham Clough. After the Taelpar Rest Area dropped off the communications grid, a pack was seen to form in the vicinity, possibly in reaction to the presence of some greater menace.

Size: 20.11 ft. Weight: 1,889.5 lb.

Elder Coeurl

Delta
An elder coeurl accustomed to older underground dwellings. The lack of atmospheric exposure has heightened the sensitivity of its whiskers, boosting the voltage of their charge to levels beyond those of its surface brethren. The sensitive whiskers also serve as a sensor in the dark, alerting the coeurl to the biological currents of nearby foes.

Size: 20.37 ft. Weight: 2,013.4 lb.

Griffon

Alpha
A great bird that can awe with a flap of its sublime wings, and soothe with the grace of its glide. The majestic avian is never seen scrounging for carrion, giving it an air of sanctity that has elicited worship among some—though as far as gods go, the griffon would be a most wrathful one.

Size: 26.21 ft. Weight: 5.68 t

Griffon

Beta
A griffon that makes its nest high atop Duscae. Though it is said the griffon goes days at a time without landing for rest, the rare times the avian has been sighted on the ground, it has been seen in the woodlands. This behavior is presumed to take place after the griffon has fed, but it would seem a full belly makes the beast no less ferocious.

Size: 26.51 ft. Weight: 5.73 t

Deadeye

The behemoth Deadeye lurks under the mists of the Nebulawood, notorious for laying waste to habitat and hunter alike. Those triumphs, however, have come at the cost of an eye and a horn.

Size: 73.16 ft. Weight: 219.86 t

Behemoth Tyrant

A new terror stalks the Nebulawood in the wake of Deadeye’s passing, taking up residence in the infamous behemoth’s old lair, and following in its foregoer’s furious footsteps.

Size: 77.92 ft. Weight: 245.53 t

Catoblepas

The fable surrounding the Catoblepas holds that the great beast once had a second eye that turned all who met its gaze to stone, but when the solitude grew too much to bear, the catoblepas swallowed its own eye, hiding it from the world forevermore.

Size: 153.70 ft. Weight: 233.28 t

Kujata

The scimitar-like horns and vicious temper of this beast make it hard to believe the kujata is not a carnivore, but it seems content to hold its own in the world of “eat or be eaten.” Its horns are sturdy and lightweight, owing to their hollow insides, making them ideal lances with which to charge foes.

Size: 52.88 ft. Weight: 207.40 t

Molokujata

The red kujata is a breed seemingly overwrought with bloodlust. From the moment of birth this species shows wildly aggressive tendencies, attacking siblings, parents, and anything else that moves.

Size: 54.23 ft. Weight: 209.52 t

Phalaris

Alpha
While the kujata is a herbivore at heart, alternate habitats necessitate dietary compromises. The blue kujata swallows living prey whole, letting its multiple stomachs do the work of gradually killing and then digesting game.

Size: 54.52 ft. Weight: 210.86 t

Phalaris

Beta
This phalaris, seen on the Causcherry Plains of Duscae, is an omnivorous relative of the kujata given to devouring its prey whole before killing it. Local lore tells of men being eaten alive, their screams ringing out into the night.

Size: 54.39 ft. Weight: 210.34 t

Jabberwock

Alpha
Large lizard lurking in the depths of Costlemark Tower. Descendant of tiny reptiles who dwelled above ground, the winged jabberwock evolved over tens of thousands of years into the formidable form it boasts today. Given that it survived the War of the Astrals, some even consider this creature to be a living fossil of sorts.

Size: 97.93 ft. Weight: 210.93 t

Jabberwock

Beta
Stronger, more ferocious jabberwock whose origins are as of yet unknown. Having considered the hypothetical threat it would pose should it ever venture out of the underground, the Hunters have placed a high-priority bounty on its head.

Size: 100.95 ft. Weight: 221.43 t

Grootslang

Relative of the midgardsormr previously believed extinct. Folk tales rumor the beast to be the harbinger of a plague, and sightings invariably induce panic among the people. While links to a contagion are yet unproven, its ominous presence nevertheless warrants caution.

Size: 108.59 ft. Weight: 44.36 t

Bilröst

Subspecies of jormungand sleeping in the deepest cavern of Costlemark Tower. Although biologically classified as a serpent, the bilröst has evolved in such a way over the millenia that it now bears almost no resemblance to its land-dwelling counterparts.

Size: 135.79 ft. Weight: 125.38 t

Cleigne

Saberclaw

Alpha
Relative of the sabertusk indigenous to the mountains of Cleigne. Its claws, while menacing, pale in comparison to its brutal fangs, which are capable of ripping flesh, bone, and even metal to ribbons before regenerating anew.

Size: 16.93 ft. Weight: 569.0 lb.

Saberclaw

Beta
Saberclaw spotted in Pallareth Pass, north of Lestallum. Hunters were dispatched to rid the area of the saberclaw packs that were raiding ration-carrying trucks and any other cars that passed through the area. This remedied the issue for a time, but it now seems the problem will require regular population control.

Size: 17.12 ft. Weight: 580.7 lb.

Megaloclaw

A saberclaw subspecies that has grown to enormous proportions. For the first few years of its life, the megalowclaw can make a docile and lovable pet. Once awakened to its feral nature, however, the beast won’t think twice about feeding on the hand that fed it.

Size: 25.06 ft. Weight: 1.54 t

Havocfang

Alpha
Long-whiskered relative of the sabertusk indigenous to Cleigne. The havocfang is easily the most intimidating member of the sabertusk family by nature of its eerie appearance, hostile demeanor, and brute strength, it is said that the sound of its howl can drive a man to madness.

Size: 15.97 ft. Weight: 849.8 lb.

Havocfang

Beta
A havocfang that favors a subterranean habitat. Dark, enclosed spaces allow the beast to rely on its sense of spatial awareness so that it can fend for itself as its eyesight fades and defend itself against the daemons that lurk underground.

Size: 16.01 ft. Weight: 851.4 lb.

Mushussu

Alpha
Reptilian beast with reinforced scales and poison prongs. Though its origins are ophidian, four limbs assist the mushussu in movement, permitting quick lateral locomotion as it dodges and darts in combat.

Size: 21.06 ft. Weight: 2,047.6 lb.

Mushussu

Beta
A mushussu among mushmahhu in Risorath. Though native to the Myrlwood and surrounding mountains, a recent spike in population has caused the reptiles to spill over into the basin.

Size: 21.32 ft. Weight: 2,060.4 lb.

Mushmahhu

A reddish subspecies of mushussu in Risorath known to congregate with its progenitors as well as its fellow mushmahhu. Though native to the Myrlwood and surrounding mountains, a recent spike in population has caused the reptiles to spill over into the basin.

Size: 21.35 ft. Weight: 2,065.2 lb.

Spiracorn

Alpha
Herbivore sporting an entwined pair of spiral horns jutting out from its forehead. Like its cousin the mesmenir, the spiracorn is innately wary of mankind, making domestication and riding unfeasible, though some features indicate the species may at one time have been selectively bred as destriers.

Size: 14.53 ft. Weight: 1.34 t

Spiracorn

Beta
Spiracorn upon whose head a bounty rests. Spiracorn behaviors vary by team: some centering around larger leaders, some focused on expansion, and so on. On the whole, however, the breed instinctively eschews uniformity.

Size: 14.69 ft. Weight: 1.38 t

Duplicorn

Rare giant spiracorn specimen that often assumes lead of a team once fully grown. Its sizable horn makes it a common target for poachers, but the beast learns and grows stronger with each failed attempt on its life, resulting in an increasingly and fittingly sizable challenge.

Size: 22.57 ft. Weight: 5.23 t

Leukorn

Though the color of its hide may be the first feature to jump out at onlookers, one would do well to also take note of this breed’s acuminate horns. Coupled with the beast’s force, the sharp protrusions are capable of impaling and derailing cars of steel.

Size: 14.83 ft. Weight: 1.38 t

Shieldshears

Alpha
A freshwater shell-dweller found primarily in Cleigne. Manipulating its ponderous pincers requires the shieldshears to build burly muscle beneath its heavy shell, resulting in a succulent dish which many diners have heaped praise (and butter) upon.

Size: 12.73 ft. Weight: 2.56 t

Shieldshears

Beta
A shieldshears native to the arid atmosphere of the Leide region. The crustacean has adapted to the hostile climes by adopting a curious means of self-rehydrating in which water expelled gently from the mouth washes back over the body and is eventually reabsorbed through the legs.

Size: 13.45 ft. Weight: 2.97 t

Shieldshears

Gamma
A shieldshears situated deep within Daurell Caverns. The crustacean has adapted to the hostile climes by adopting a curious means of self-rehydrating in which water expelled gently from the mouth washes back over the body and is eventually reabsorbed through the legs.

Size: 13.81 ft. Weight: 3.22 t

Mightyshears

Barely edible variant of the shieldshears indigenous to the River Wennath, recognizable by the bluish hue of its shell. The crustacean uses its powerful claws to entrench itself in the ground for safety, but inadvertently endangers the river habitat by occasionally digging into embankments.

Size: 13.38 ft. Weight: 2.67 t

Saphyrtail

Alpha
Reaptertail offshoot common to volcanic climes. Exposure to brimstone has dyed its exoskeleton blue, and the paucity of edible prey has engendered a desperate and dangerous disposition.

Size: 13.61 ft. Weight: 318.3 lb.

Saphyrtail

Beta
A sulfurous saphyrtail spotted in Leide, far removed from its native Rock of Ravatogh. Its presence in the region is a mystery, though odds are it was a stowaway in some supply shipment. However it arrived, it is in the interests of the habitat to see that it does not remain.

Size: 13.71 ft. Weight: 337.3 lb.

Reaperking

Alpha
A reapertail variant with a preference for the arid climes of Leide. This longevous arachnid matures to heights greater than a grown man. The species lacks the poison of its brethren, but the brute force of its claws and tail will neutralize most any foe.

Size: 16.10 ft. Weight: 553.5 lb.

Reaperking

Beta
A reaperking whose domain centers around the foot of the Rock of Ravatogh. To one who finds the common reapertail sufficiently intimidating, this magnified monarch will appear as something out of a nightmare. Its mere presence in the vicinity of Faeryss Gush was enough to keep most tourists at bay until the Hunters stepped in.

Size: 15.91 ft. Weight: 525.3 lb.

Thunderoc

Alpha
Electrifying bird that shocks and awes with its plumage. The thunderoc’s organs do not generate their own electricity, instead relying on flight friction to accumulate charge, which is then channeled into the shafts of the feathers this avian ejects to stun unsuspecting prey.

Size: 13.05 ft. Weight: 180.5 lb.

Thunderoc

Beta
Before mankind unraveled the mysteries of electricity, people revered this bird as a fantastical beast blessed by the Stormsender himself. The thunderoc’s interference with the power lines and substations of the modern day, however, have rendered it a mere nuisance in the minds of many.

Size: 13.38 ft. Weight: 195.3 lb.

Copperoc

Crimson-streaked thunderoc presiding over the peaks of Ravatogh. In olden days it bore the moniker of “red lightning,” alluding to the sanguine nature of its devastating attacks.

Size: 13.68 ft. Weight: 204.3 lb.

Sahagin

Alpha
Found largely around the Vesperpool, usually in groups of ten or twenty. This four-legged aquatic organism lurks beneath the surface, then uses its sturdy jaw to clamp down on prey that ventures near the water’s edge before dragging its catch back into the depths to devour it.

Size: 19.55 ft. Weight: 2,057.1 lb.

Sahagin

Beta
A more ferocious variant of the sahagin that roams the Vesperpool. It often works together with the formidable alphagin, and is therefore often included with its superior sahagin cousin as a target of hunts.

Size: 19.65 ft. Weight: 2,090.6 lb.

Albinogin

An albino subspecies of sahagin. Stronger and tougher than its common counterpart, it lives and hunts alone. It occasionally exits the water to prey on unsuspecting passerby—man and monster alike—leaving many would-be hunters injured in its wake.

Size: 19.78 ft. Weight: 2,105.8 lb.

Alphagin

The largest member of the sahagin family, and with muscle to match. This legendary beast grew to monstrous proportions due to a freak mutation and, as such, is frequently targeted by aspiring hunters hoping to make their mark.

Size: 37.14 ft. Weight: 6.23 t

Seadevil

Alpha
An enormous subspecies of sahagin found in southern Cleigne. Similar to its more commonplace cousin, it resides in the water and preys on animals that venture near the shoreline, but sprays a high-pressure water stream to stun its target before launching a proper attack.

Size: 24.54 ft. Weight: 1.82 t

Seadevil

Beta
A seadevil swept up by the current and sent drifting all the way to Galdin Quay. Though otherwise identical to the seadevils native to Cleigne, it seems as if its aquatic journey has somehow transformed it into a more fearsome foe.

Size: 24.60 ft. Weight: 1.82 t

Seadevil

Gamma
A sturdy subspecies of seadevil living in the depths of the Crestholm Channels. Scientists believe its abnormal strength stems from either separation from its natural habitat or adjustment to the harshness of its new one.

Size: 24.80 ft. Weight: 1.83 t

Coraldevil

Alpha
A seadevil subspecies found outside of Old Lestallum, easily recognized by the unusual color of its body. Unfortunately, being both ferocious and few in number, biologists have been unable to glean much information about this rare breed.

Size: 24.77 ft. Weight: 1.83 t

Coraldevil

Beta
A seadevil subspecies inhabiting the depths of the Crestholm Channels along with its progenitors. Though genetically different, most behavioral disparities gradually disappeared as the two species mutually adapted to life in the same channels. This particular specimen developed more advanced musculature, however, presumably through adoption to the harsh underground climes.

Size: 24.80 ft. Weight: 1.84 t

Chickatrice

A baby bird living near the Vesperpool. It is all but impossible to discern a young male from a young female at first glance. A normally docile creature, the chickatrice will only attack in self-defense—and inflict considerable damage on its assailant when it does.

Size: 4.52 ft. Weight: 120.8 lb.

Regaltrice

Alpha
A young regaltrice that generally poses no threat to humanity at large. Mass hatchings are reported on rare occasion, however, and the baby birds flock outward from their natural habitat. It is at this point hunters are called upon to cull the burgeoning population.

Size: 4.56 ft. Weight: 121.7 lb.

Regaltrice

Beta
The noble offspring of a royalisk and kingatrice living in the depths of Steyliff Grove. The regaltrice’s existence is masked in mystery as it hardly ever leaves the safety of the subterranean ruins.

Size: 4.69 ft. Weight: 129.8 lb.

Basilisk

Alpha
An adult chickatrice found around the Vesperpool. Though its wings have atrophied (leaving this foul flightless), its feathers contain poison that it uses to defend itself from potential predators.

Size: 24.41 ft. Weight: 2.51 t

Basilisk

Beta
A basilisk targeted by hunters hoping to suppress its abnormally strong tendency toward violence and aggression. Some scientists speculate this uncharacteristic behavior may stem from anxiety over mating season and the unusual presence of a kingatrice in the Vesperpool.

Size: 24.54 ft. Weight: 2.56 t

Royalisk

Alpha
A giant basilisk that spends most of its life hidden underground. It will emerge near the Vesperpool for the sole purpose of finding a partner, but beware: it exhibits unusually aggressive behavior during mating season and should be handled with extreme caution.

Size: 44.16 ft. Weight: 14.50 t

Royalisk

Beta
Residing within the deepest recesses of the Greyshire Glacial Grotto, this particular subspecies of basilisk is extremely territorial and will rally its flock to attack any intruders. For this reason, few dare plumb the depths of the caves to find out more about this fearsome fowl.

Size: 44.25 ft. Weight: 14.56 t

Royalisk

Gamma
A royalisk residing within the depths of Steyliff Grove. Known to be the strongest of its species, it strikes fear in the hearts of intrepid archaeologists hoping to inspect the ruins. The threat it poses to creatures outside the grove is limited, however, as this bird seems to refuse to leave its roost.

Size: 44.39 ft. Weight: 14.72 t

Cockatrice

Alpha
A flightless adult chickatrice found around the Vesperpool. He displays a belligerent nature and—after forming a flock with his mate and chicks—becomes extremely territorial, attacking en masse anyone who dares venture near his family.

Size: 33.26 ft. Weight: 5.75 t

Cockatrice

Beta
A tougher variant of the cockatrice. Though normally a very mild-mannered species, this fowl’s attitude goes foul when mating season approaches, growing increasingly aggressive and territorial.

Size: 33.36 ft. Weight: 5.78 t

Kingatrice

Alpha
Common breed of kingatrice lording over its glacial demesne in Greyshire. The kingatrice is regal in size alone, as its behaviors are virtually indistinguishable from its diminutive subjects.

Size: 36.81 ft. Weight: 10.61 t

Kingatrice

Beta
A powerful kingatrice residing within the depths of Steyliff Grove. The narrow nature of the ruins makes it easy for the kingatrice to protects its territory—though being confined in such close quarters with other creatures also exacerbates its aggressive tendencies.

Size: 38.74 ft. Weight: 11.24 t

Hekatontoad

Alpha
Aggressive amphibian known for assaulting humans. Although the Hunters once insisted this subspecies of the gigantoad poses little actual threat due to its lethargic nature, only showing signs of activity in heavy rainfall, the organization quickly changed its tune when two of its own went missing while hunting the hekatontoad.

Size: 23.13 ft. Weight: 29.43 t

Hekatontoad

Beta
The toad is a highly adaptive organism, boasting a wide array of subspecies that vary according to climate and ecosystem. Some posit the key to unlocking the archaeology of Lucis lies in dissecting the amphibians’ origins—and occasionally their organs as well.

Size: 23.29 ft. Weight: 30.02 t

Gaiatoad

Alpha
Enormous subspecies of the gigantoad residing along the River Wennath. Boasting an appetite appropriate for its considerable size, it ravenously consumes prey in large quantities, then hibernates until the next rainy day.

Size: 29.39 ft. Weight: 61.21 t

Gaiatoad

Beta
Gaiatoad slumbering in the deepest recesses of the Crestholm Channels. This amphibian developed a sturdy build through adapting to the less-than-favorable conditions of life underground. Although this specimen is physiologically identical to its land-dwelling counterpart, its superior strength sets it apart.

Size: 29.62 ft. Weight: 62.24 t

Killer Wasp

Alpha
Insect of considerable size residing in Cleigne. The killer wasp hunts for prey to fly back to its hive and feed to the larvae. Some hunters have hoped to exterminate this brutal bug once and for all, but their attempts to locate its nests have been entirely unsuccessful.

Size: 12.73 ft. Weight: 628.5 lb.

Killer Wasp

Beta
Especially sinister subspecies of the killer wasp. It possesses no physiological or behavioral differences from its more common counterpart and is thus often misidentified at first glance. This specimen is far stronger than its brethren, however, and should be eliminated as quickly as possible.

Size: 12.92 ft. Weight: 642.4 lb.

Killer Wasp

Gamma
Killer wasp subspecies that has built a nest inside the Balouve Mines. Unlike its cousins who fly around above ground, this specimen has specially adapted to life in the caverns, navigating the cramped corridors and taking down prey with incredible ease.

Size: 13.18 ft. Weight: 662.0 lb.

Soldier Wasp

Alpha
Large winged insect living in the Malmalam Thicket. Although ostensibly identical to the killer wasp, this subspecies is infinitely more ferocious. Despite its violent nature, the soldier wasp has yet to be designated as a threat due to the limited scope of its habitat.

Size: 12.76 ft. Weight: 657.2 lb.

Soldier Wasp

Beta
Soldier wasp variant that resides around the Rock of Ravatogh. Perhaps out of frustration due to the lack of prey, this subspecies exhibits stronger violent tendencies than its counterpart in the Malmalam Thicket. Fearful of harm done to their homes, some civilians living in the area have called in extermination requests.

Size: 13.15 ft. Weight: 658.0 lb.

Killer Queen

The queen who sits atop the social order of the colony. While common bees have but one queen per hive, this breed allows for an oligarchy. The queen is nevertheless despotic, and liable to lash out at even her own subjects in rage.

Size: 5.64 ft. Weight: 144.4 lb.

Mandrake

Carnivorous plant that resists taking root in one place. While technically classified as vegetation, the mandrake behaves much as a beast, hunting and killing for sustenance. Its sonic emissions can play tricks on the ears of trespassers, but they cause no harm to the florae of the forest.

Size: 19.78 ft. Weight: 3.73 t

Treant

Alpha
Fully matured form of mandrakes, assumed over long years. It possesses a decentralized nervous system, yet is capable of complex responses to stimuli not unlike faunae. This organism has outgrown its ability to acquire adequate nutrition, and gradually succumbs to the still rot of death.

Size: 48.59 ft. Weight: 58.31 t

Treant

Beta
An ancient treant dwelling at the heart of the Myrlwood. It had been long dormant until a hunter snapped its branch off for kindling. Now the treant inflicts its pain upon all who approach.

Size: 49.08 ft. Weight: 59.31 t

Treant

Gamma
A wizened old treant on the verge of withering away. Using the last of its strength, it has ventured far from its original habitat in an effort to ensure the survival of its species by sowing its seeds in far-off soil away from potential predators. Perhaps because of its old age, this particular specimen has demonstrated exceptionally erratic behavior, causing alarm among ecologists and hunters alike.

Size: 50.09 ft. Weight: 60.45 t

Quetzalcoatl

Alpha
Flying reptile that grew in size as a means of increasing its survivability. Although it developed a few distinctly avian features over the course of its evolution—its legs, in particular—the quetzalcoatl has otherwise retained a primarily reptilian physiology.

Size: 57.08 ft. Weight: 59.54 t

Quetzalcoatl

Beta
Winged reptile that soars around Steyliff Grove. It will occasionally venture outside the ruins and inadvertently wreak havoc on houses, causing alarm among the citizenry and the Hunters. A territorially minded creature, the quetzalcoatl defends its home while respecting the domains of its brethren, refusing to encroach upon their respective spaces.

Size: 57.57 ft. Weight: 60.13 t

Mictlantechihuatl

Lighter-colored subspecies of quetzalcoatl that haunts the inner sanctum of Steyliff Grove where light does not reach. Despite spending most of its time confined to the caverns, the mictlantechihuatl will occasionally spread its wings and soar around outside in search of prey.

Size: 58.17 ft. Weight: 60.38 t

Wyvern

Alpha
Scaled monster that evolved from a tiny avian reptile on the Rock of Ravatogh. Its scales are thick enough to withstand intense heat and aridity. Although its wings cannot create enough propulsion to allow for flight, the wyvern can still glide through the air and dive down to snatch up prey.

Size: 19.09 ft. Weight: 1.04 t

Wyvern

Beta
Highly active specimen among the Ravatoghan wyvern population. It is known for spreading its wings and flying far from its volcanic perch to hunt for prey and strike fear in the hearts of citizens living at the foot of the mountain. Although no damages have been officially reported as of yet, the Hunters have had their collective eyes on this creature for some time.

Size: 19.16 ft. Weight: 1.08 t

Wyvern

Gamma
Wyvern that inhabits the inner sanctum of Steyliff Grove. Scientists speculate this particular specimen diverged from the flock that roosts atop the Rock of Ravatogh roughly a century ago. Though slightly stronger than its progenitors, it is more or less identical from a physiological perspective.

Size: 20.01 ft. Weight: 1.19 t

Karlabos

Alpha
Crustacean that has carved out its home along the coast of the Cygillan. This crab propels itself through the waves by ingesting water and releasing it in high-pressure bursts. While some karlabos are caught and traded as comestibles, others grow larger than men, turning the figurative dining tables and devouring their would-be captors.

Size: 55.21 ft. Weight: 179.70 t

Karlabos

Beta
More ferocious terror of the Leirity Seaside known to capsize ships and dine on their crews. Wayfarers are warned to only enter the water at their own peril and advised to report any karlabos sightings to a local hunter.

Size: 55.70 ft. Weight: 180.51 t

Rogue Karlabos

The karlabos develops in a dorsal pouch on the body of the female, and expectant mothers often seek sustenance-rich coastal waters where they can deposit the hatchlings as the time of birth draws near.

Size: 55.80 ft. Weight: 183.20 t

Bandersnatch

Alpha
Wide-jawed beast that literally fumes with rage when angered. Little beyond that which is apparently observable is known about this curious species. The majority of specimens have been spotted in Cleigne with occasional sightings in Leide.

Size: 54.29 ft. Weight: 38.38 t

Bandersnatch

Beta
The bandersnatch is a feral and savage beast feared by all others, but is nevertheless in the habit of bathing itself. Many a bold cameraman has risked his life trying to capture this moment of vulnerability, only to find himself helpless before the bashful terror.

Size: 54.56 ft. Weight: 38.40 t

Bandersnatch

Gamma
Fabled “pet” of the Witch of the Woods. The Malmalam Thicket is off-limits to hunters, who can thus neither confirm nor deny the beast’s existence.

Size: 54.95 ft. Weight: 38.55 t

Aspidochelon

Alpha
Colossal omnivore easily mistaken for a small mountain. It plants its incisors into the ground, devouring the soil along with the insects and grasses it subsists upon. Its hump functions as an energy reservoir, allowing the beast to survive long periods of famine while also promoting rampant feeding.

Size: 46.19 ft. Weight: 226.17 t

Aspidochelon

Beta
While many are aware the hump of the aspidochelon stores energy, few recognize its value as a foodstuff. The once-beloved nutrient-rich delicacy has been all but forgotten by modern culinary culture.

Size: 47.77 ft. Weight: 232.41 t

Zu

Enormous black bird big enough to block out the sun. It builds it nest out of reach from other creatures, but it swoops down from its solitude during mating season—much to the fright of all below. While fundamentally a docile creature, the zu is unrelenting in its assault on aggressors. Some say it once razed an entire village in pursuit of a man who stole its egg.

Size: 313.38 ft. Weight: 4,338.16 t

Midgardsormr

Alpha
Super-sized snake seen all around the Cleigne region. The midgardsormr prefers a life of solitude, patrolling its nest daily and bitterly defending its expansive territory against any it perceives as an intruder. Any who encroach upon its turf are subjected to a spray of venom and a piercing bite they will not soon forget.

Size: 108.43 ft. Weight: 44.36 t

Midgardsormr

Beta
Particularly violent midgardsormr found around the Vesperpool. Meldacio HQ initiated a hunt for this specimen soon after its discovery in an attempt to protect the fishermen who frequent those waters, unaware of the territorial serpent slithering around nearby.

Size: 108.66 ft. Weight: 44.78 t

Midgardsormr

Gamma
Midgardsormr that appeared in great number in the Maidenwater Basin. Such congregational behavior is uncharacteristic of the species, leading biologists to believe this specimen may be an entirely new species altogether.

Size: 110.17 ft. Weight: 45.22 t

Hvitrormr

Alpha
Snow-colored subspecies of midgardsormr holed up in the inner sanctum of the Crestholm Channels. It slithers through the sewers in search of prey, cooling its body in the water while not actively hunting for food.

Size: 114.33 ft. Weight: 48.03 t

Hvitrormr

Beta
Hvitromr spotted around the Vesperpool. Eyewitness reports claim this specimen exhibited excessive aggression while pursuing its prey. The hunter who saw this oversized snake postulated it may have wriggled its away over from the Crestholm Channels, but biologists have yet to prove this theory.

Size: 114.56 ft. Weight: 48.13 t

Hvitrormr

Gamma
Hvitrormr that appeared in great number in the Maidenwater Basin. Much like the many midgardsormr discovered in the same area, this specimen exhibited surprisingly social tendencies toward its brethren, suggesting it may actually be a new species.

Size: 114.89 ft. Weight: 48.23 t

Malbodoom

Alpha
Subspecies of malboro residing on Lucian soil. Scientists speculate this bluish variant is a direct descendant of the Niflheim species, but imperial scientific agencies have refused to cooperate with their counterparts in the kingdom, effectively blocking all research.

Size: 43.47 ft. Weight: 227.24 t

Malbodoom

Malbodoom that appeared in great number outside of Cape Caem in southern Cleigne. Scientists have yet to discern why this specimen showed up so far from its natural habitat—nor why it was spotted alongside what appeared to be a swarm of its Niflheim-born cousins. Some anti-imperialists have suggested the malbodoom’s presence on kingdom soil is the work of the empire—a new form of biological warfare.

Size: 43.07 ft. Weight: 224.33 t

Malbodoom

Gamma
Malbodoom that has extended its tendrils throughout the depths of the Daurell Caverns. Although comparatively common among the Lucian malboro variants, many mysteries remain about its mode of life. The only definitive conclusion biologists have drawn about this specimen is that its power greatly exceeds that of its progenitor.

Size: 45.57 ft. Weight: 228.43 t

Malboro Brat

Alpha
Baby malbodoom born in the Lucian continent. The brat behaves similarly to the sprout and, indeed, coagulates with its siblings around a maternal malboro. The only real difference from its imperial cousin is its pigmentation.

Size: 4.72 ft. Weight: 568.3 lb.

Malboro Brat

Beta
Malbodoom offspring that appeared along with its mother outside of Cape Caem in southern Cleigne. Despite its propensity toward violence, the brat will quickly flee in fear if its mother malbodoom is slain.

Size: 4.65 ft. Weight: 562.8 lb.

Niflheim

Falxfang

A considerably deadly descendant of the sabertusk. Its ancestors migrated westward in antiquity, eventually settling in what is now imperial territory. Perhaps due to the drastically different climate, the falxfang found near the Fodina Caestino looks much different than its progenitor, but exhibits similar patterns while hunting as a pack.

Size: 16.79 ft. Weight: 539.0 lb.

Gurangatch

Sahagin subspecies that makes its home in the waters of the Fodina Caestino. Though it differs from its cousin in terms of coloration, the gurangatch behaves almost identically, dragging its prey beneath the water to feast with its congregation.

Size: 25.19 ft. Weight: 1.89 t

Malboro

Alpha
Plant-like monster native to Niflheim’s southern region of Succarpe. This highly evolved rotifer awaits it prey in silence, then latches onto its victim with its plentiful tentacles and sucks it up in a single breath.

Size: 29.10 ft. Weight: 68.34 t

Malboro

Beta
Although native to Niflheim, this ferocious faux flora survived a cross-continental migration and now resides in the northern reaches of Leide. Hunters have prioritized its elimination due to the deleterious effects it has had on the local ecosystem.

Size: 29.43 ft. Weight: 69.10 t

Malboro

Gamma
Possible subspecies of malboro that appeared in great number outside of Cape Caem in southern Cleigne, prompting Meldacio HQ to issue an emergency notice calling for its extermination. Scientists suspect this plant-like monster may actually be a close-relative of the Lucian-born malbodoom.

Size: 28.90 ft. Weight: 68.31 t

Malboro

Delta
Malboro that, long ago, drifted through the Styrian Swells and across the Cygillan Ocean, ultimately taking up root in the deepest recesses of Costlemark Tower. Perhaps toughened over the course of its extensive voyage, this particular specimen exhibits an incredible strength.

Size: 29.62 ft. Weight: 70.02 t

Malboro Sprout

Alpha
Newborn plant-like monsters spotted around the Fodina Caestino. The malboro’s incubation period is considerably long, allowing the young sprout to develop while inside the egg. Thus, by the time the sprout hatches, it already bears a striking resemblance to its adult counterparts.

Size: 4.65 ft. Weight: 563.0 lb.

Malboro Sprout

Beta
Infant faux flora native to the Duscae region. The numerous sprouts form a mob around their mother malboro, assaulting prey as a group—behavior resembling that of their Niflheim brethren.

Size: 4.69 ft. Weight: 565.7 lb.

Malboro Sprout

Gamma
Young malboro that appeared in great number outside of Cape Caem in southern Cleigne. Despite superficial similarities to the imperial species, biologists have yet to produce any evidence supporting this tenuous connection.

Size: 4.62 ft. Weight: 553.8 lb.

Daemon

Goblin

Alpha
A widely known daemon that lurks in the darkness, venturing out at night to wreak havoc across the land. Though daemons vary vastly in shape and size, every single kind is considered a threat to humankind.

Size: 4.23 ft. Weight: 62.8 lb.

Goblin

Beta
Now haunting the Balouve Mines in Leide, this minder-turned-goblin marauds under the veil of darkness and scares off the remaining humans still living in the area. Hunters head into the mine from time to time to exterminate these daemons dwelling there, but they have yet to get to the root of the problem.

Size: 4.26 ft. Weight: 63.2 lb.

Goblin

Gamma
Native to Niflheim, and stronger than goblins found anywhere else in Lucis. Though the empire attempted to leverage their scientific might to use daemons as weapons, it was unable to exert complete control over all of its creations.

Size: 4.29 ft. Weight: 65.9 lb.

Goblin

Delta
A fearsome goblin sealed deep beneath the surface. Though physically similar to its progenitors, this daemon’s abilities greatly surpass those of more common goblins. Its superior thieving skills in particular allows it to snatch valuable items from unsuspecting targets.

Size: 4.29 ft. Weight: 66.3 lb.

Glamhoth

A grim goblin lurking deep within the mountains. Though fairly reclusive as far as daemons go, the glamhoth occasionally descends the slopes and enters villages to snatch up valuables, lashing out at anyone who might stand in its way.

Size: 4.26 ft. Weight: 64.8 lb.

Snaga

A goblin found within the Niflheim Empire whose pitiful aura belies an impressive physical prowess. For whatever reason, the snaga is most commonly sighted around military bases and research facilities.

Size: 4.43 ft. Weight: 74.5 lb.

Imp

Alpha
Daemon nuisance that lurks in Lucian dungeons, and particularly common to the caves of Duscae. The imp relies primarily on its claws for close-quarter melee, but is capable of harnessing and emitting luminous energy from its fingertips at a distance.

Size: 4.49 ft. Weight: 82.0 lb.

Imp

Beta
Subspecies of imp found amid the darkest depths of the Balouve Mines. While imps are ordinarily regarded as bottom dwellers in the daemon ecosystem, these particular imps have risen to the test of their cruel environs, carving out their own niche in the process.

Size: 4.65 ft. Weight: 84.4 lb.

Alv

The imp of Altissia is significantly more formidable than its Lucian cousin. Despite marked differences in strength and complexion, its anatomy and means of attack mirror those of its relatives.

Size: 4.95 ft. Weight: 106.2 lb.

Garchimacera

Alpha
Daemon with vestigial wings affixed to its back, akin to the imp. Nocturnal pack activity is rampant in Lucis. For causes unknown, packs are in the habit of gathering around electric generators, on one occasion nearly overrunning the EXINERIS Power Plant after congregating en masse.

Size: 6.13 ft. Weight: 114.8 lb.

Garchimacera

Beta
Due to serious garchimacera infestations almost leading to the destruction of the EXINERIS facility, Lestallum’s primary power supplier now vigilantly eliminates any such threats in the facility. Those trespassers that do still appear are somewhat stronger than the ones who learned their lesson.

Size: 6.16 ft. Weight: 119.7 lb.

Size: 6.20 ft. Weight: 128.9 lb.

Ereshkigal

Alpha
An anthropoidal daemon residing in Costlemark Tower, identified as a garchimacera per its anatomical build and behavioral tendencies. Its stealthy and surreptitious movement connotes the guileful cunning of an experienced thief.

Size: 6.52 ft. Weight: 130.9 lb.

Ereshkigal

Beta
An aggressive brand of ereshkigal, emboldened by the pack’s conquest in the caves, that now seeks to extend its Duscaen dominion to the Kelbass Grasslands.

Size: 6.43 ft. Weight: 130.0 lb.

Alberich

Cadaver-like keeper of Zegnautus Keep with an uncertain pedigree. This species is provisionally grouped in with the garchimacera despite the absence of identifying features such as wings, and demonstrates fortitude far exceeding that of its alleged brethren.

Size: 6.79 ft. Weight: 137.3 lb.

Hobgoblin

Alpha
While this wingless biped is technically taxonomized as a type of goblin, it bears a striking anatomical and locomotive resemblance to the garchimacera, leading some to question its origins. The species sports unique features as well, including phenomenal upper arm strength.

Size: 8.69 ft. Weight: 536.3 lb.

Hobgoblin

Beta
The hobgoblin of Galdin Quay behaves no differently from its subterranean brethren, forming packs and firmly defending its domain, though it takes a strong specimen to step foot outside the confines of the cave.

Size: 8.72 ft. Weight: 555.7 lb.

Hobgoblin

Gamma
A terror buried in the deep of the Balouve Mines. On the surface, this hobgoblin partakes in the same territorial pack activities of its brethren, yet doing so in a hostile environment where death waits behind every turn has brought out its rawest survival instincts.

Size: 8.92 ft. Weight: 592.3 lb.

Hobgoblin

Delta
Little is known about what lurks within the walls of Costlemark, but hunters tell tales of the horrors they’ve seen inside. They warn all who will listen to tread lightly around any hobgoblin they should encounter for these tricksters are some of the most terrifying creatures known to man.

Size: 8.99 ft. Weight: 600.5 lb.

Size: 8.79 ft. Weight: 566.8 lb.

Bussemand

Beta
A destructive daemon that often appears in large numbers. Seventeen years ago, a dozen or so stormed the Saxham Outpost, killing countless adults and kidnapping their children. Many parents went off in search of the lost boys and girls, leaving a ghost town in their wake.

Size: 8.82 ft. Weight: 568.8 lb.

Skeleton

Alpha
Hominid daemon devoid of flesh. The apparent lack of muscle does not seem to prevent its locomotion, which no doubt owes to some daemonic mechanism beyond the ken of modern biology.

Size: 5.21 ft. Weight: 116.4 lb.

Skeleton

Beta
Skeleton bound to a necromancer. These skeletons tend to be weaker than their combat-tested independent brethren, often ceding the front line in battle until animated forth by their masters.

Size: 5.15 ft. Weight: 115.5 lb.

Skeleton

Gamma
Skeleton bound to a psychomancer. Though possessed of greater power than the common skeleton, this breed remains subservient to its master, only marching into battle when psychically commanded to do so.

Size: 5.28 ft. Weight: 117.7 lb.

Skeleton

Delta
The skeleton that lives in the icy heart of Greyshire may appear no different from its bony brethren elsewhere, but the cold chill of the grotto hardens and sharpens its osseous body as well as its murderous mind.

Size: 5.34 ft. Weight: 118.6 lb.

Reaper

A sinister stranger roaming Duscae after dusk. The daemon strikes a familiar silhouette from afar, and those unfortunate enough to cross its path realize only too late that all is not what it appears. Said to haunt Steyliff Grove.

Size: 7.25 ft. Weight: 301.6 lb.

Bomb

Flame-engulfed daemon easily seen from afar in the dark of night. Its pyrolitic biology feeds off heat, negating any adverse effects from fire. However, its volatility also poses a danger to itself, as emotional instability can trigger a chemical reaction resulting in combustion.

Size: 3.11 ft. Weight: 504.4 lb.

Grenade

Alpha
A larger variant of the more common thermolytic daemon. Wild specimens were not observed prior to the recent lengthening of night.

Size: 4.98 ft. Weight: 2,150.6 lb.

Grenade

The sighting of this incendiary war-head in Altissia is one in a series of mysterious occurrences of daemons cropping up on unfamiliar shores.

Size: 5.02 ft. Weight: 2,175.3 lb.

Ice Bomb

Alpha
Frostburnt daemon that thrives in the thermal extremes opposite its fiery relative, savoring the chill in the night air. Its low-temperature temperament does not prevent it from losing its cool and detonating.

Size: 3.11 ft. Weight: 504.6 lb.

Ice Bomb

Beta
A cold wind blows outside Greyshire Grotto as a cryogenic horde congeals around Callatein’s Plunge.

Size: 3.15 ft. Weight: 510.1 lb.

Gamma
Species born from the frozen ashes of a crynoade explosion. It exhibits the peculiar metamorphosing characteristic of bomb daemons, a phenomenon yet to be explained by science.

Size: 3.18 ft. Weight: 514.3 lb.

Cryonade

Bomb packed well into the ice of the glacial grotto, which has preserved and augmented it a bitter daemon with absolute zero warmth.

Size: 5.02 ft. Weight: 2,177.5 lb.

Embodiment of lightning that strikes suddenly and without warning across the Duscaen countryside. Possesses electrical resistance as well as the ability to initiate auto-destruct at will.

Size: 3.08 ft. Weight: 487.8 lb.

Thunder Bomb

Beta
Band of thunder bomb variants amassed in the Malacchi Hills now sparking conflict around the Disc of Cauthess. The specimens demonstrate uncommon fortitude.

Size: 3.11 ft. Weight: 500.0 lb.

Thunder Bomb

Gamma
Thunder bomb risen from the debris of a galvanade explosion. Its shrapnel origins harden it to combat, letting it pack more punch than its conventional brethren.

Size: 3.18 ft. Weight: 506.6 lb.

Galvanade

Maelstrom incarnate raging in Costlemark and Keycatrich. Merely weathering the storm is not enough, as this daemon uses self-destruction as a form of reproduction, spawning thunder bomb offspring in its wake.

Size: 4.95 ft. Weight: 2,133.8 lb.

Flan

Alpha
Squidgy daemon that thrives in the dank dungeon air. Its survival as a species is predicated less on its defenses and more on its texture, which absorbs physical attacks well enough to make it not worth a frustrated predator’s while.

Size: 4.72 ft. Weight: 1.53 t

Flan

Beta
A mushy mass that has gathered near the Longwythe Rest Area. Any flan bold enough to brave the open air is not to be trifled with.

Size: 4.75 ft. Weight: 1.56 t

Jumbo Flan

One wiggling whale of a flan was witnessed wandering the Weaverwilds, with a weight worthy of watching. The local population waits in hope that this overgrown custard will receive its just desserts.

Size: 9.44 ft. Weight: 8.23 t

Crème brûlée

Sun-stained daemon native to the shady glades of Steyliff Grove and the Myrlwood. The essences of the storm and the flame run through its body, enabling this flan to not only resist fire and lightning damage, but to feed off of the elements as well.

Size: 4.75 ft. Weight: 1.56 t

Gelatin

A flan of ice and fire. The innate temperature resistance of this violet offender separates it from its shy cousins, impelling it to come out at night.

Size: 4.85 ft. Weight: 1.59 t

Bavarois

A rare treat found mainly in Keycatrich Trench and occasionally in the wild. Its soft blushing tone betokens an ability to both take the heat and get out of the kitchen.

Size: 4.62 ft. Weight: 1.48 t

Marshmallow

A sort of holy grail for flanophiles, this pristine blancmange can only be found at the very heart of Keycatrich Trench, but be warned: contending with this formidable flan is no piece of cake.

Size: 4.69 ft. Weight: 1.50 t

Custard

Electrified flan that charges in the depths of Daurell Caverns and Steyliff Grove. This topaz-tinged tart is anything but yellow when it comes to combat, and a shallow grave awaits any who mistake squishiness for softness.

Size: 4.88 ft. Weight: 1.60 t

Dolce

Fiery flan that burns in the depths of Daurell Caverns and Steyliff Grove. This recalcitrant crimson confection has been beaten and held to the fire yet come out none the worse for wear.

Size: 4.95 ft. Weight: 1.61 t

Matcha Mousse

A green gel on the loose in Steyliff Grove. No condition is too cold nor stimulus too shocking as the elements of ice and lightning only serve to nourish this electric-cool emerald terror.

Size: 4.98 ft. Weight: 1.63 t

Black Flan

Alpha
A shadowy curse in the channels of Crestholm. In addition to the flan’s intrinsic resilience against physical attacks, the black flan has been burnt, frozen, and zapped into a colorless, flavorless mess resistant to all known elements.

Size: 14.69 ft. Weight: 34.18 t

Black Flan

Beta
A vicious umbral entity drained into the Vesperpool through the Crestholm Channels. This vile version of the common black flan leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of any who encounter it.

Size: 14.83 ft. Weight: 36.25 t

Lakhmu Flan

The only known specimen of this pitch-black blob dwells deep in the dark of Keycatrich Trench. Yawning wide like a vast abyss, this daemon is every bit the dauntless menace the common black flan is, only much, much bigger.

Size: 23.06 ft. Weight: 128.62 t

Hecteyes

Alpha
All-seeing daemon that watches over Daurell Caverns. While resembling a flan in appearance, the hecteyes lacks the former’s resistance to physical and elemental attacks while possessing the unique ability to project spectral energy, indicating the similarities are only skin deep.

Size: 9.44 ft. Weight: 8.46 t

Hecteyes

Beta
Specimen of origin unknown on the loose in Altissia. Its capabilities far exceed those of its Lucian relatives, and some scientists postulate it may have migrated to foreign shores of its own accord.

Size: 9.48 ft. Weight: 8.67 t

Hecteyes

Gamma
The mightiest of hecteyes oversees Keycatrich Trench. Its bright beam pierces the darkness, a beacon to warn any denizens that might trespass on its dominion.

Size: 9.67 ft. Weight: 8.89 t

Ronin

Alpha
A humanoid daemon that specializes in close combat and slicing through foes with its gently curved blade. Those unfortunate enough to encounter this warrior rarely survive to tell the tale. Although most famous for lurking in dank caves like the Daurell Caverns, several eyewitnesses report the ronin wandering the wilds at night.

Size: 9.02 ft. Weight: 622.3 lb.

Ronin

Beta
Though seemingly identical to the ronin of Lucis, this breed of daemon somehow found its way across the sea to Altissia. Hunters are quick to dispatch this dangerous daemon, so little is known about its abilities, but those who have bested this ronin in battle have praised its power.

Size: 9.08 ft. Weight: 626.3 lb.

Ronin

Gamma
A daemon who wanders the inner sanctum of Steyliff Grove. This specimen is stronger than the average ronin and reigns supreme over the deepest part of the ruins. Its behavioral patterns, however, show little variance from those of its brethren.

Size: 9.22 ft. Weight: 660.5 lb.

Aramusha

Alpha
Haunting the depths of Fociaugh Hollow, this humanoid daemon also wields a blade and specializes in close-range combat. Its strength, however, easily surpasses the standard set by other ronin. Extreme caution is advised; direct confrontation is best avoided.

Size: 9.15 ft. Weight: 633.8 lb.

Aramusha

Beta
A lone ronin spotted within the Balouve Mines. Though bearing similarities to the vagabond warrior wandering around Fociaugh Hollow, this specimen exhibits far more skill with its sword. Similar ronin have been sighted outside of Lestallum, spurring hunters into action so as to mitigate damages and casualties.

Size: 9.25 ft. Weight: 662.4 lb.

Yojimbo

Alpha
A humanoid daemon that dwells in the darkness of subterranean locales like the Crestholm Channels and Costlemark Tower. It boasts prowess in close-range combat and enough power to rend opponents with a single strike of its sword.

Size: 9.22 ft. Weight: 660.7 lb.

Yojimbo

Beta
A daemonic swordsman deemed a cut above the rest. This yojimbo has been sighted around the Longwythe Rest Area, once even encroaching upon a nearby civilian residence. Hunters suspect it retreats into the Balouve Mines during the day, but their efforts to track it down have been unsuccessful.

Size: 9.35 ft. Weight: 688.9 lb.

Kengo

A yojimbo lookalike that resides within Greyshire Glacial Grotto. Biologists have determined from its distinct coloration that this swordsman is a slightly different species, but its abilities far surpass those of other sword-wielding daemons. Thankfully, it has not yet been sighted outside the chilly caverns of Cleigne.

Size: 9.31 ft. Weight: 686.9 lb.

Ayakashi

An exceptionally brutal specimen spotted on the outskirts of Lestallum, this daemon is responsible for many a hunter’s demise. While it bears a striking resemblance to other yojimbo, its unique coloration and overwhelming power suggest this daemon deserves a category all its own.

Size: 9.28 ft. Weight: 679.4 lb.

Mindflayer

Alpha
What might from a distance appear a man in robes grows ever more hideous on further inspection, its face twisted into an inhuman mask that makes a mockery of nature. The daemon breathes an enervating gas to weaken prey before sapping its quarry of all life.

Size: 9.18 ft. Weight: 311.9 lb.

Mindflayer

Beta
A bold mindflayer that dares show its ghastly guise to the outside world in the Disc of Cauthess. As with any daemon willing to venture out of its lair, it can be assumed to have greater-than-average physical attributes.

Size: 9.22 ft. Weight: 313.7 lb.

Mindflayer

Gamma
A mindflayer that defiles the Walls of Water. Its superior strength to its Lucian siblings and the recent local outbreak of daemon species strange to Altissia has led researchers to assert this daemon’s origins are domestic.

Size: 9.31 ft. Weight: 316.3 lb.

Mindflayer

Delta
A forgotten horror buried in the mines of Balouve. While its behaviors mimic those of most other mindflayers, it performs them with a devastating power.

Size: 9.38 ft. Weight: 327.6 lb.

Mindflayer

Epsilon
A terrible scourge in the far reaches of Costlemark Tower. Few hunters have lived to tell the tale of this daemon, though perhaps it is in mankind’s best interests that he know naught of the terror lurking within the tower walls.

Size: 9.48 ft. Weight: 331.8 lb.

Braindrainer

An abyssal horror awaiting within Costlemark Tower. While it may have genealogically arisen from the mindflayer, this abominable daemon can lay claim to that lineage no longer, so greatly do its powers exceed all of the breed.

Size: 9.54 ft. Weight: 333.1 lb.

Lich

Alpha
A necrotic daemon plaguing Steyliff Grove and the Myrlwood. At first glance, the lich appears corpselike, seemingly suspended in midair, until it raises its bony limbs to strike or cast missiles.

Size: 10.27 ft. Weight: 423.9 lb.

Lich

Beta
The lich infesting Steyliff holds mystifying power, and threatens to bedevil even accomplished hunters.

Size: 10.33 ft. Weight: 430.7 lb.

Wraith

A macabre daemon that levitates over imperial soil. Its custom of keeping victims at arm’s length gives way to grappling on occasion, as this stalker seeks to squeeze the very life from its prey.

Size: 9.67 ft. Weight: 338.4 lb.

Necromancer

Alpha
Daurell Caverns-dwelling daemon fond of donning robes lifted from skeletal remains. The necromancer’s magical moniker derives from its inexplicable affinity toward the dark arts.

Size: 12.33 ft. Weight: 776.2 lb.

Necromancer

Beta
A dread necromancer that refuses to let the Cauthess Rest Area rest in peace. While the daemon itself is uncommonly strong, its behavioral patterns do not differ much from those of its ill-meaning ilk.

Size: 12.40 ft. Weight: 783.9 lb.

Psychomancer

Alpha
Relative of the necromancer sowing ill in Steyliff Grove. This daemon performs all the same petrifying and death-defying tricks as its kin—only it does them better.

Size: 12.46 ft. Weight: 790.1 lb.

Psychomancer

Beta
A harrowing presence lurking amid the depths of the Balouve Mines and Steyliff Grove. Possessed of powers that exceed even those of other psychomancers, this greatest of skeletal sorcerers is not a daemon exorcised easily.

Size: 12.53 ft. Weight: 794.7 lb.

Arachne

Alpha
A dangerous, multi-legged daemon of the darkness that ensnares its unwary victim in webs before assailing them with spheres of electrical energy. When threatened, she will summon smaller tarantulas to protect her from harm.

Size: 9.44 ft. Weight: 697.9 lb.

Arachne

Beta
Spinning her webs in the depths of Keycatrich Trench, this daemon possesses more strength and stamina than similar spiders found in Duscae. Fortunately, biologists have only confirmed a sole specimen in all of Eos, so the threat she poses to the world at large is relatively low.

Size: 9.54 ft. Weight: 735.0 lb.

Arachne

Gamma
A spider specimen spotted in Zegnautus Keep. Its abilities are equivalent to those of the average arachne, but its behavioral patterns differ greatly. Unlike its common cousins, this daemon stubbornly refuses to summon tarantulas to its aid, insisting on subduing its prey all by herself.

Size: 9.41 ft. Weight: 679.0 lb.

Ariadne

A vastly stronger and more skilled variety of arachne. The hunters’ attempt to dispose of this spider-daemon came too late: though native to the Greyshire Glacial Grotto, this monster has since managed to lay eggs and weave its webs all over Insomnia.

Size: 9.67 ft. Weight: 742.5 lb.

Uttu

Alpha
Subspecies of arachne that weaves its webs in Zegnautus Keep. While its appearance may vary slightly from the mother species, its mass-reproducing and pack-hunting habits remain the same.

Size: 8.00 ft. Weight: 435.2 lb.

Uttu

Beta
A creepy crawler spotted in the cobwebs of Costlemark. This specimen is physically the strongest of all known arachnid daemons, though its mental faculties appear no more acute than those of the uttu.

Size: 8.46 ft. Weight: 453.0 lb.

Tarantula

Alpha
Tiny trench-dweller found in Keycatrich. Its solitary tendencies make it a low-risk bounty, and one often preferred by hunters for their first kill.

Size: 3.87 ft. Weight: 49.8 lb.

Tarantula

Beta
Daemon-spawn of the arachne born ready for battle. Individually, the hatchlings are less imposing than their full-grown brethren, but the presence of their mother seems to grant them some inexplicable edge.

Size: 3.77 ft. Weight: 47.9 lb.

Tarantula

Gamma
The hatchlings of the ariadne bear a near-identical resemblance to their arachne-born cousins, save for the notable difference that these daemon spiderlings draw even greater power from their parent.

Size: 4.06 ft. Weight: 54.6 lb.

Kokyangwuti

The arachnophobe’s anathema stalking Greyshire may mimic other tarantulae in form, but it shares much more in common with the far-larger ariadne of the grotto biologically.

Size: 4.10 ft. Weight: 55.3 lb.

Iron Giant

Alpha
A massive daemon spotted all across Eos. The iron giant is both hostile and powerful, using a giant blade to fell its foes. The mere mention of its name strikes fear in the hearts of drivers who know how perilous the roads are at night.

Size: 18.57 ft. Weight: 9.52 t

Iron Giant

Beta
A specimen found only in Zegnautus Keep, possessing more power than the average iron giant that appears around Eos. When it spots an intruder, it materializes immediately and launches an attack.

Size: 18.63 ft. Weight: 9.58 t

Iron Giant

Gamma
Rumored to be stronger than the average iron giant, this subspecies is abnormally belligerent and thus commonly targeted by hunters hoping to keep the peace. In recent years, it has been frequently spotted in the area surrounding Taelpar Crag.

Size: 18.70 ft. Weight: 9.63 t

Iron Giant

Delta
A giant among giants, this fearsome foe’s stats exceed scientists’ calculations. It resides underground in the depths of Costlemark Tower. Encountering one is rare, but surviving the encounter is even rarer.

Size: 18.86 ft. Weight: 9.64 t

Ganymede

Alpha
An iron giant boasting a unique hue and powerful abilities. Despite the impressive bounty on its armored head, this particular variant is so rare that hunters have only undertaken a single unsuccessful campaign to track it down near the Disc of Cauthess.

Size: 18.93 ft. Weight: 9.64 t

Ganymede

Beta
This giant lurks deep inside Fociaugh Hollow. Hunters have launched an investigation to determine whether the Ganymede bears any relation to the iron giant spotted around the Disc of Cauthess, but they have yet to reach a definitive conclusion.

Size: 18.93 ft. Weight: 9.64 t

Gargantua

A daemon that haunts the halls of Zegnautus Keep, waiting for enemies to appear. Unlike other iron giants, the gargantua keeps staunch watch over a designated area, exhibiting behavior akin to a sentry.

Size: 18.73 ft. Weight: 9.63 t

Red Giant

An enormous daemon that appears only once night descends on Eos. As red giants often arise alongside their iron cousins, they often initiate their attack after their less formidable companions fall.

Size: 22.17 ft. Weight: 16.17 t

Chandravarma

Said to dwell deep beneath Fociaugh Hollow, this type of red giant not only boasts a different color, but significantly more powerful abilities as well. The chandravarma’s strength is only surpassed by that of the iron giant of Costlemark Tower.

Size: 22.40 ft. Weight: 16.33 t

Naga

A daemon with the body of a snake and the face of a human. It coils itself around its prey and spits a special venom to turn them into a frog. A naga capable of understanding human speech was discovered several decades ago in Duscae, so the fearful townspeople drove it back and sealed it within the walls of Fociaugh Hollow.

Size: 65.12 ft. Weight: 13.16 t

Serpentess

Variant of the naga acclimated to the cruel corridors of Costlemark Tower. She may sport a separate shade from her serpentine sister, but her true colors are the same, and she does not accept defeat in stride.

Size: 66.04 ft. Weight: 13.86 t

Nagarani

Anguiform daemon that slithers in the Crestholm Channels. She appears much like the naga, though a bed of snakes lies atop her head where her hair should be. The self-anointed queen of Crestholm has the power to turn her adversaries into stone, frogs and worse.

Size: 90.51 ft. Weight: 36.13 t

Mahanaga

Sister species of the nagarani, native to Daurell Caverns. Other than the color of their scales, the two are virtually indistinguishable. She is also no less cold-blooded nor any less sinister than her kinswoman, only stronger.

Size: 94.48 ft. Weight: 36.97 t

Deathclaw

An eerie daemon noted for its bulky bone structure. Its name stems from the giant talons on both of its arms. It launches beams of light and utilizes a range of other fierce attacks to take down opponents. Fighting one is said to equivalent to tempting death itself.

Size: 46.42 ft. Weight: 21.43 t

Iseultalon

Rumor has it this daemon wanders the wasteland, slaying any man or monster that crosses its path and ingesting their corpses in order to fuel its own growth. Superior to the more common deathclaw, only expert hunters stand a chance against this wicked creature of the night.

Size: 47.01 ft. Weight: 22.36 t

Naglfar

A nefarious fiend told of in legends, its brutality far surpassing that of other deathclaw. Its name is recorded in lost pages of the Cosmogony as one of the creatures that fought to a standstill against the twenty-four Messengers in the kingdom’s nascent years. The return of naglfar is said to be an omen of unspeakable disaster to come.

Size: 48.85 ft. Weight: 22.75 t

Gargoyle

Winged daemons weaponized by the Niflheim Empire. These humanoid monsters have been incorporated into imperial defensive measures, striking down any who dares to infiltrate the capital city of Gralea.

Size: 11.09 ft. Weight: 1,797.6 lb.

Foras

Alpha
An unsightly daemon found within Zegnautus Keep. It resembles a skinless human with scythes that pierce its own hands. Both intelligent and persistent, the foras fades into the darkness to more effectively stalk its prey.

Size: 11.28 ft. Weight: 1,824.3 lb.

Foras

Beta
An unsightly daemon that appeared the moment the seal on the kingdom’s Crystal Room was breached. Now said to haunt the halls of Zegnautus Keep, this creature can understand and communicate in mankind’s common tongue, expressing an abnormal obsession with the Crystal.

Size: 11.28 ft. Weight: 1,824.3 lb.

Ziggurat

Alpha
Noted for its sadistic nature, this humanoid daemon first emits sound waves to stop potential prey in their tracks before slicing them up with its sickle-like arms. Hunters have vowed revenge on this beast for vanquishing their brethren, but none have seen success.

Size: 11.51 ft. Weight: 1,910.7 lb.

Ziggurat

Beta
A daemon that was sealed deep beneath the earth. While its menacing nature is no different from that of gargoyles dwelling above ground, the ziggurat lacks the strength of its superterranean counterparts. This can be attributed both to its closed-off environment and the lack of opponents against which it could sharpen its skills.

Size: 11.48 ft. Weight: 1,907.8 lb.

Chadarnook

A daemon said to inhabit a prized portrait in Accordo. It manifests itself as both a gorgeous goddess and a grotesque ghost. The allegedly possessed painting was once on public display, but the exhibition quickly closed due to patrons reporting paranormal phenomena. The chadarnook only assumed its fairer form once the woman featured in the portrait went missing.

Size: 12.86 ft. Weight: 906.5 lb.

Daemonwall

A daemon inextricably bound to its home, it lashes out at interlopers from within the very foundation of its habitat. Difficult by nature to spot, there was once thought to be only one specimen in existence, yet others have been observed subsequently.

Size: 30.02 ft. Weight: 60.75 t

Melusine

With a two-headed snake wrapped around her body, this deadly daemon has claimed the lives of many men, preying on their baser urges. Rumors of her bewitching beauty—rivaled only by her strength—have spread through the hunter grapevine.

Size: 25.46 ft. Weight: 32.34 t

Tonberry

Alpha
A diminutive daemon that holds deep-seated grudges under its hood. It relies on its small stature, sluggish movements, and rounded features to lull victims into a false sense of security before striking swiftly and suddenly, plunging its knife in for the kill.

Size: 2.85 ft. Weight: 150.5 lb.

Tonberry

Beta
An adorable knife-wielding maniac skulking around Altissia. Whether it migrated from Lucian shores or was natural-born in Accordo is the subject of heated scholarly debate.

Size: 2.88 ft. Weight: 151.4 lb.

Tonberry

Gamma
An offshoot of the common tonberry altered by the absence of light. It may appear ordinary on the surface, yet several subtle differences lie under the hood. Observed primarily around Galdin Quay.

Size: 2.98 ft. Weight: 155.4 lb.

Tonberry

Delta
A ripper prowling the paths of Steyliff Grove. The blade it totes is soaked in the blood of many a hunter, this deadliest of tonberries capable of claiming lives with one fell swoop. Its killing spree has thankfully been confined to the grove.

Size: 3.08 ft. Weight: 157.4 lb.

Master Tonberry

Alpha
A variant of the encloaked butcher daemon. The first sighted specimen appeared in Altissia, but its development was passed off as an aberrant anomaly. As the daylight hours waned, these aberrations increased in frequency, enough so that the breed is now recognized.

Size: 3.01 ft. Weight: 156.0 lb.

Master Tonberry

Beta
A leader among tonberry enclaves that congregate in Steyliff Grove. Many have been dispatched to research the proliferation of tonberries in the grove, but few have made it out with findings.

Size: 3.11 ft. Weight: 157.8 lb.

Sir Tonberry

Alpha
A deviant lantern-bearer ensconced deep in Daurell Caverns. This daemonic subspecies carries the knife toted by most tonberries and wields it with the ferocity of a master.

Size: 3.21 ft. Weight: 162.2 lb.

Sir Tonberry

Beta
A leader among tonberry knights wreaking devastation across Duscae, and one of the most dangerous daemons pound-for-pound. Caution is advised.

Size: 3.15 ft. Weight: 160.5 lb.

Ravus

The daemonic form taken by Ravus Nox Fleuret after succumbing to the Starscourge. Although he lost most of his consciousness in the devolution, he still manages to suppress his more sinister urges with what little willpower he can muster.

Size: 9 ft. 3 in. Weight: 356.7 lb.

Ardyn

The man who was to be the first king of Lucis. Assuming the burden of the Starscourge borne by his subjects corrupted the Chosen’s body, causing the Crystal to deny his ascendance to the throne. Ardyn’s impurities grant him eternal life, which he spends plotting his revenge on the blood royal and the True King.

Size: 6 ft. 2 in. Weight: 175.4 lb.

Imperial

Imperial Rifleman

Alpha
A core combatant in the imperial infantry, created using technology introduced by Chancellor Ardyn Izunia. Mass production began thirty years ago during the great war, and this cyborg became the driving force behind the empire’s overwhelming victory.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 214.2 lb.

Imperial Rifleman

Beta
Thanks to several small modifications, this cybersoldier is even more powerful than its predecessor. Unlike magitek troopers, which are specifically engineered for engaging enemies, this unit serves a variety of military functions and is thus still produced on a large scale.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 215.6 lb.

Imperial Rifleman

Gamma
Deployed throughout Niflheim and imperial territories like Accordo, this unit excels in governing other soldiers, but lacks the combat skills of cybersoldiers stationed closer to the field of battle.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 212.5 lb.

Battery Soldier

Alpha
A cybersoldier equipped with more formidable armor and shields than standard models. As a result, this unit is more suited for combat than keeping the peace. Designed to take a beating, this cyborg and others of its kind are deployed as cannon fodder against Lucis and the daemons—and few make it back to the empire in one piece.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 298.7 lb.

Battery Soldier

Beta
The newest model of battery soldier, stronger and tougher than those before it. Stationed in bases and deployed from drop ships around Lucis, this unit is employed in the empire’s efforts to thwart Noctis and his royal retinue.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 299.3 lb.

Imperial Sniper

Alpha
Cybersoldier that specializes in shooting foes from afar. This unit forms up with short-range soldiers during combat, but prefers to keep its distance when launching an assault.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 214.0 lb.

Imperial Sniper

Beta
A more powerful sniper equipped with an upgraded arsenal. Revered for its improved abilities, this model quickly replaced older units in the field. It is stationed in bases and deployed from drop ships across the Lucian continent.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 214.7 lb.

Magitek Axeman

Cybersoldier specially engineered to excel in combat, and the powerhouse of the imperial infantry. Unlike the standard-issue troopers, every magitek unit is marked with an individual model number.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 391.3 lb.

Magitek Axeman

The latest magitek axeman model. Because of the high production costs, this unit was originally deployed only to several strategic areas, but has since been dispatched to areas across the continent in order to thwart Noctis and his friends.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 396.4 lb.

Armored Axeman

A cybersoldier that once served as commander to magitek infantry troops. Now programmed with advanced authoritative capabilities, this model forms its own military units and sends them into battle.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 400.3 lb.

Magitek Swordsman

A more advanced magitek trooper designed to replace older units. It boasts stronger built-in firearms as well as a newly engineered sword to engage opponents in close-quarters combat.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 371.4 lb.

Armored Swordsman

Outfitted with a state-of-the-art set of parts, this model is a cut above previous iterations. Mass production has not yet begun on this unit, however, so only a handful of them have seen actual combat.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 372.1 lb.

Armored Assassin

Equipped with a blade in both hands, this cybersoldier has no need for firearms. It demonstrates a multitude of strengths in close-range combat and self-destructs when badly damaged. That said, the lack of firearms limits its versatility, and this model has thus only been deployed to a small number of units.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 362.4 lb.

Magitek Assassin

A dual-wielding magitek trooper that received a total overhaul. Only a few hundred prototypes exist at present, however, as mass production of the top-of-the-line parts required for this unit proved too difficult to maintain.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 355.8 lb.

Imperial Spearman

A magitek trooper wielding a giant spear. Military officials first noticed this model’s effectiveness in anti-deity combat in the fight against Shiva, and they have since deployed this unit to battle both Titan and Leviathan.

Size: 7 ft. 5 in. Weight: 380.3 lb.

Magitek Bannerman

Once an ordinary magitek trooper, this unit received a variety of remodels, now rebuilt to bear the banner of the imperial army. In particular, its coding underwent enormous changes; unlike other infantry models, this unit is programmed to avoid combat unless absolutely necessary.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 374.1 lb.

Magitek Bannerman

A bannerman boasting boosted power and additional skills. Despite engineers upgrading this unit’s combat capabilities, its main function remains the same: bearing the flag of the empire in battle.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 375.4 lb.

Magitek Bannerman

The newest model of bannerman, mainly deployed from assault crafts. Scientists integrated more advanced administrative functions into this unit’s AI, but said efforts were largely wasted as the empire collapsed before mass production of this model could begin in earnest.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 384.4 lb.

Shock Trooper

Alpha
A modified magitek trooper deployed only in special circumstances. Scientists intentionally overcharged this unit’s core in order to trigger the self-destruct mechanism when in close proximity to enemies.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 422.4 lb.

Shock Trooper

Beta
An explosive unit deployed from drop ships. After descending to the ground, this unit slowly makes its way toward the opponent. In order to compensate for its unfortunate lack of speed, scientists designed this trooper with extra durability in mind.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 437.6 lb.

Shock Trooper

Gamma
A self-destructing cybersoldier stationed at specific bases around the imperial mainland. This unit boasts greater durability than the average shock trooper at the expense of combat capabilities.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 446.2 lb.

Rogue Axeman

Alpha
An inactive magitek trooper brought out of its slumber after daemonic miasma infected its operating system. Despite awakening in a berserk state, this unit still retains the fundamental programming of a standard-issue cybersoldier: eliminate all enemies.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 311.0 lb.

Rogue Axeman

Beta
An unfinished and un-armed unit with appropriately underwhelming abilities. Not even its parts are worth selling as scrap.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 314.1 lb.

Haywire Axeman

The strongest type of berserk cybersoldier. Stationed in Zegnautus Keep, this unit exhibits erratic movement patterns, and its core is extremely unstable. Combatants should maintain their distance as this trooper could self-destruct at any moment.

Size: 7 ft. 2 in. Weight: 338.8 lb.

Eternal Trooper

Despite the fall of the empire, this soldier keeps marching on. With no one around to maintain it, it no longer operates as efficiently as it once did, but this unit nevertheless exhibits increased strength due to the plasmodic miasma that pollutes the air.

Size: 5 ft. 11 in. Weight: 203.2 lb.

MA Veles

Alpha
A magitek armor developed by imperial engineers, commonly found at bases and on assault crafts. The most versatile of its kind, this unit is equipped with a varied arsenal, including a 37mm autocannon and missle launchers for long-range assaults and powerful claws for close-range combat.

Size: 16.79 ft. Weight: 17.20 t

MA Veles

Beta
Stationed in various locations around the imperial continent, this later magitek model is equipped with the latest guns and missiles. This unit never saw mass production, however: it was passed over in favor of the superior MA Hoplomachus and MA Veles-Bis, both of which went into development almost simultaneously.

Size: 16.79 ft. Weight: 17.86 t

MA Hoplomachus

A fortified remodel of the MA Veles. Its comparatively compact size prevents it from generating enough electricity to unleash a shock wave like the MA-X Maniple, so engineers equipped the Hoplomachus with a flamethrower instead.

Size: 20.27 ft. Weight: 23.15 t

MA Veles-Bis

Alpha
The most advanced cybersuit in the MA Veles line, this unit integrates parts employed in second-issue models. Its warheads are also laced with an experimental substance said to completely transform a target’s genetic composition.

Size: 20.27 ft. Weight: 23.35 t

MA Veles-Bis

Beta
Although originally conceived as a complete redesign to the MA Veles-Bis, the only mechanical difference from the standard model is the sbustance inside its warheads. The compound contained therein induces hallucinatory effects upon inhalation, causing confusion among enemy ranks.

Size: 20.27 ft. Weight: 23.35 t

MA Veles-Bis

Gamma
This particular model is mounted with missiles containing a muscle stiffening substance that renders targets totally immobile. That said, structurally speaking this unit is no different than its Veles-Bis brethren.

Size: 20.27 ft. Weight: 23.35 t

MA-X Cuirass

A formidable magitek armor fit for a commander. This unit was designed with the MA-X Maniple as a base but equipped with a sturdier cockpit and superior communication functions. Despite these advancements, however, Commander Loqi Tummelt still suffered defeat at the hands of Noctis and company at the Norduscaen Blockade.

Size: 33.30 ft. Weight: 58.57 t

MA-X Cuirass

Developed specifically for Commander Loqi Tummelt, this newer MA-X Cuirass model incorporates a wide range of improvements. Although one of the commander’s mechs was destroyed during the battle at Formouth Garrison, several reserve units remain in storage, ready for battle.

Size: 33.30 ft. Weight: 59.45 t

MA-X Maniple

Alpha
Playing a pivotal role during the invasion of Insomnia, this mass-produced magitek armor boasts missles for long-range attacks and claw-like feet for close-quarters combat. It is also equipped with automatic rifles and an electroshock spear, making it an all-around threat to all who dare challenge it.

Size: 33.30 ft. Weight: 55.48 t

MA-X Maniple

Beta
Developed alongside the magitek assassins, this late model was deployed to only a fraction of the empire’s strongholds. Although its basic equipment is identical to earlier models, its offensive power is significantly higher thanks to an artillery upgrade.

Size: 33.30 ft. Weight: 55.52 t

MA-X Patria

Originally designated as the MA-X Maniple-Bis, this mech was conceived as a successor to the MA-X Maniple. However, the design underwent significant changes during development, and engineers renamed the unit accordingly. Few units were ever produced; those that were have been placed aboard assault crafts.

Size: 33.30 ft. Weight: 60.81 t

MA-X Dux

While this mech began development at the same time as the MA-X Cuirass, production halted once engineers realized this unit was all but identical to its cousin. Its design underwent a series of alterations, and this model was ultimately reenvisioned as the exclusive magitek armor of Commander Caligo Uldor.

Size: 33.30 ft. Weight: 60.11 t

MA-X Angelus-0

The last suit of magitek armor ever produced. Imperial scientists leveraged all the technology at their disposal to create a weapon strong enough to beat Noctis and even the gods themselves. Internal records allege development did not finish before the fall of the empire, but some claim to have witnessed fully functioning units on the field of battle.

Size: 33.30 ft. Weight: 58.13 t

Aranea

Commodore of Niflheim’s Third Army Corps 87th Airborne Division. The ex-mercenary’s commendable service record in combatting daemons and Astrals for the empire earned her a commission as well as command of her own airship, from which this dragoon descends to spear unsuspecting prey.

Size: 5 ft. 5 in. Weight: ???

Astral

Titan

God of Earth. Legends tell of the Archaeon absorbing the force of the cataclysmic Meteor as it hurtled down to Eos—and he still shoulders the stone in his sleep deep within the Disc. The Landforger was awaken from that slumber by the Oracle Lunafreya.

Size: 497.04 ft. Weight: 47,743.05 t

Leviathan

Goddess of the Seas. The Hydraean took rest under the Celluna Cascades after the Astral War, yet her ruinous fury carried on the waves, never dissipating. Besought by the Oracle Lunafreya, the tempestuous Tidemother rose once more.

Size: 3,377.62 ft. Weight: 311,522.62 t

Ifrit

God of Fire. It was the Infernian who bestowed the gift of fire upon man in antiquity. He reigned over the ancient kingdom of Solheim until his once-loyal subjects turned against him. The Pyreburner then waged the Astral War that would quench his own life’s flame until his own daemonic resurrection by means of the Starscourge.

Size: 43.34 ft. Weight: 31.52 t

Ramuh

God of the Storm. The Fulgurian, it is said, administers the natural laws of Eos from on high, casting judgment down on those who would harm the star. Resting at Angelgard in the Astral War’s wake, the Stormsender awoke to the pleas of the Oracle Lunafreya.

Size: 201.93 ft. Weight: 1,918.99 t

Shiva

Goddess of Ice. The Glacian’s place among the Six lies opposite that of the Infernian, Ifrit. Roused suddenly from hibernation in Ghorovas Rift, the Frostbearer brought the chill wind of death to bear on half the imperial army before suffering her own corporeal demise.

Size: 7.02 ft. Weight: 179.9 lb.

Bahamut

God of War. The Draconian’s bonds to the Lucii run deepest among the Six. At the end of the Astral War, when Ifrit had fallen and civilizations lay in ruins, the Bladekeeper alone held vigil, awaiting the coming of the Chosen King while the other gods lay dormant.
