Monsters

Beastmen:
Primitive humanoid beast's that date far back, before most creatures of the land. Low in numbers and nomadic by nature, the Beastmen are often rarely seen anywhere near the cities or villages of Epsilon, but more restricted to the wild plains or deep mountains. Beastmen are also cursed with the fact that they are comprised completely of males, due to this curse, no Beastmen is ever born female. So occasionally women are abducted from villages or traveling caravans, in order to be used to create more Beastmen. The natural inter-workings of the pregnancy is unknown to the world, but 90% of the time, the mother dies giving birth. The Beastmen are also comprised of three different sub-races that each have their own advantages and strengths.

Bloodworms: are as grotesque as they sound. Black with red blotchy spots adults can measure of to 30 feet long, teens at 20 feet, and newly hatched at 5 to 6 feet. They make nests behind the walls and in abandoned tunnels. Covered in little tiny red and black hairs that burn when touched.

The Blue Whisperers:
The Blue whisperers are....things if you can say that. They are blue crystals that glow in complete darkness and speak to select people (do not say that they speak to you, if they do I will let you know), people think that they may be creatures or maybe even gods...however they are known to have excruciating amounts of power, but no one knows how to harness it. Many accounts have the blue whisperers driving people who can hear them insane.

Blights
Blights are humanoid shaped blobs that wander around forests, streams, and anywhere their is damp soil or dirt. they seem to be drawn to damp dirt but not water. These blobs have no eyes or mouths, but at the sight of this damp dirt they will kneel down and a tongue will appear as they lick up the moisture from the dirt. Blights are normally harmless until they gain enough water as their only goal in life seems to be to find a dirt patch that is damp enough to give them sustenance. As a Blight drinks the water from the soil it takes all the goodness from the dirt, as they drink features start to appear such as eyes and hair, etc. However once they stop drinking if all the features are not returned to them they become featureless once more. One known case of a Blight gaining its features however ended hazardly as it razed three cities in Bellris to the ground before being killed.


Charys
Not much is known about the Charys, however it is speculated that their is either one Charys that moves around, or dozens of Charys very spread out. According to the three known eye witness reports and the several remain Salty isle logs, the Charys is a large creature with multiple teeth and breath so strong it churns the water so that it swirls around and pulls down ships unlucky enough to be to close to its maw, and It eats both ship and crew indiscriminately.

Carrion Worms
Large worms with bulbous eyes that crawl over the bodies of the dead eating the flesh. They do not kill, however they are used in the Necropolis to cleanse a body before burial.

Crawlers
Crawlers are body parts that have been cut off and still have a purpose, the most famous outbreak of crawlers is back in the phoenix dragon wars 200 years ago. Warrior whos sword hands that have been cut off would reanimate and take up arms again...however it was more comical then fearful as the hands couldn't lift up the swords. Numerous cases happen with beheadings where the head would reanimate to return to a loved one to share final words before death.

Cursed Humans:
Cursed Humans are human by nature but tainted by the curse of the beasts. The Cursed Humans are the children of Beastmen and Humans, that adopt the more Human side of the birth. They are nearly fully human in appearance but share some characteristics with their Beastmen fathers. Unlike the Beastmen themselves, the Cursed Humans can be born male or female but they are extremely rare. The pregnancy itself is rare, but most of the time, Cursed Human's are killed at birth by the Beastmen fathers. Cursed Humans are as intelligent as normal humans but lack common sense and the ability to learn the use of things. They also retain some amount of the strength and agility of Beastmen.

Golem
A Golum is a creature made of stone, mud, clay or metals. They are not "sentient" beings in the way you and I are, Golems were supposedly created by a Phoenix with a rare gift back in the age of war, however when the supposed creator died the Golems slowly stopped moving, with the last one having stopped moving when the big dragon phoenix war started, they are well known for the blue crystal that rests in the center of their broad chests, rumored to have glowed when they moved across the land, and tiny little "gears" that can be seen behind the eyes- however no one has ever managed to open up a golem, not with magic nor tool, and nothing was known even when they moved around.

Ghosts
Ghosts are spirits of the dead that linger in this life, however it has come to the attention of many researchers that these Ghosts are not the Ghosts of Phoenix or Dragon or Creature however thy look humanoid. Known for floating a few feet off the ground, these ghosts don't bother anyone unless they are confronted with a reflective surface. At the mere sight of their faces they scream and release a bright light that is blinding for all within the room before the vanish.

Gi'ants
Gi'ants, more commonly known as Giants are large, cannibalistic, nightmare fuel. The Males are known to get up to 15 feet easily while the females tend to stay between 10 and 13 feet. These creatures eat their own kind as a show of force and might, however that wouldn't be the scarring thing if it wasn't for what happens after. The Gi'ants victims do not die, but in fact their faces appear on the skin of the Gi'ants, unable to talk but they can see everything and they live on the Gi'ants skin until the time of their natural death.

Giwa: Large, Fluffy, and can crush you with a toe. Giwa are large wooly mammoth like creatures that are 20 feet tall on average and immortal unless you know...killed. And they have been hunted for their Ebony tusks and warm fur that can substitute a fire for a family for years, however very few are around and they're rumored to be extinct with the last sighting been over 100 years ago.

Manti
Manti or any type of bug really is a large bug. Weather they are passive, aggressive, or friendly depends on what type of bug it is. They act like the smaller versions of themselves...they're just bigger, an example of how big they are; a lady bug which is the size of a pinky nail, as a Manti would be the size of a dinner plate, they are more of an annoyance then anything really as big bugs can get in the way of things. These supersized bugs are normally just found in forests however and not in cities or deserts.

Marked Ones
Marked Ones are humanoid creatures that have some sort of magic and have a black circle somewhere on their bodies, they are arrogant as many assume they are either children of the gods or destine for godhood upon death. Despite this belief however Marked ones normally do not venture away from their homelands somewhere in the Caelum Desert.

Nesters
Nesters are beautiful comely women, the entire race. They have pale green skin with hair that is anywhere from white to dark brown. Normally very attractive they tend to dwell near rivers and in fields braiding each others hair, dancing in circles, building nests, and singing in the morning...while at night if they are awake the cry, trying to attract attention to themselves and lure in men. Nesters are an all female race that build nests, and to continue their race they need men. When an untimely male comes across a crying or singing Nester that is alone many others will come out from hideing in order to jump the unlucky male. When they are finished with their "prank" they kill the man. Any children born of the union are born from eggs...if a male comes from the egg the Nesters Kill them.

Oni
Oni are beings of snow and cold, they appear in the winter and cold as servants of the old go Vramera. They can not reproduce as the cold renders them barren. They normally have blue skin, white hair, and yellow eyes with blackening fingertips. Their very touch can cause ice to form in your skin. One interesting case of Oni movement was a winter 74 years ago when ashes fell from Mt. Paytah. Dozens and dozens of Oni walked up the mountain and jumped in and the ashes stopped falling a few hours later...when someone went to check on the mountain they found that ice thick enough that they could not see or break though it had formed inside of the mountain

Sea Serpents
Located within the waters of the Salty Isle and the waters between Zalto and Phobos Sea Serpents are snake like creatures with large piranha like teeth that cause its jaw to look swollen and full, with one bite it can take a toe or a finger as it is known to occasionally wriggle up onto land. Small ones between one and five feet are common to see however it has been reported by returning fishermen that they have caught serpents up to ten feet, while sea farers claim seeing sea serpents that have multiple rings sticking out of the water claiming them to be over 50 feet in length.

Soul Shredders: Humanoid like creatures know for their violence and sickening ways, they are known to burrow into the ground in order to create homes. We would say that they're mindless however we know that they aren't. Soul Shredders are just a little taller then average human height with females averaging around 7 feet and men around 8. Each join is punctuated by large outgrowths stopping the arms and shoulders from bending backward or up without breaking these growths. They are all known for being bone white and skinny to the point of looking malnourished as their bone white skin clings to their bones, even the spine is outlined by the skin. The Knees bend backward like a flamingos and do not bend forward, however the most interesting feature is in fact their reproduction as their sexual organs are barbed, due to this it was thought that they were slowly going extinct as when Soul Shredders are born the very act kills their mother like parasite kills a host, however it was found that all Soul Shredders have two or more children a birth, with one being an irregularity. The worst known soul shredder attack comes from writing 80 years ago when writing states that a group of 16 attacked the Zaltonese Village of Kalidonia, its inhabitance were all killed or carried off, never to be seen again, and in 201 Soulshredders congregated in Phobos for unknown reasons.

Water Pancakes
Basically they look like a pancake but with eyes on top of them, they are normally blue or brown and feel like jelly when picked up. they have no way to walk or swim, the very existence of the water pancake is a mystery as they just appear in bodies of water, sinks, lakes, rivers, and swimming pools at random, they are easy to get rid of as all you have to do is pick it up and put it into a river.

Wyverns: are a type of...underdeveloped part of the dragon family...thought to be where all people with a dragon forum originated from...however these things are "Mindless" beasts that at their biggest can measure up to 50 feet in length and sometimes even greater. Normally they leave people alone so long as they leave them alone.

Others
The land is filled with mysteries and many creatures forgotten and undiscovered.
