New Enemies Galore!

The Bestiary

Some time was found to start generating sprites for a variety of dangerous and mystical creatures and beasts for Lumora. This blog post will provide an image of each as well as some proposed stats and potential skills they may use.

Fenrir

The Fenrir is a monsterous beast from Norse mythology, and it fits in nicely into a fantasy RPG game like Lumora. The Rift has reopened, and the magic it deposited in the world has changed some creatures and spawned in entirely new ones. This wolf-like creature is dangerous and cannot be tamed. Their bite and claws can cause severe damage and Bleeding. They come in two varieties: a darker coat that lives in moderate climates, and the white-coat one that likes in snowy environments. Be prepared to face the pack, unless you are lucky enough to find yourself against a lone wolf!

And its white-coated cousin:

Kitsune

Another creature from mythology, the Kitsune is a mythical nine-tailed fox from Japanese folklore that is seen as having supernatural abilities of illusion and even flight. Though they are known to have nine tails, they can have anywhere between three and nine tails depending on their age. In the case of Lumora, they possess Mesmer magic of the mind.

This one appears to only have eight tails; maybe one is hidden?

Insectoids

These two creepy crawlies could inspire fear and aversion for certain! ARACHNOID WARNING: there is soon to be a picture of a spider ahead, so this is your fair warning!

Giant Wasp

This abnormally-large wasp is a menance to citizens in the world of Lumora. A single poisonous sting from one of these would be deadly, let alone if they are swarming! Be prepared to have a difficult time dispatching these enemies as they are very nimble in the air.

Deadly Spider

A huge black-widow like creature, this arachnoid can kill with even a brushing up against its sharp, venomous fangs and trap you in its chaotic web. They are fast and very territorial, protecting her brood at all costs.

Elementals

Elemental creatures have long lived in the imagination of viewers of the fantasy genre. In Lumora, there are at least four types, one for each of the primary elemental magic types: Pyromancy, Aquamancy, Aeromancy and Geomancy.

Flame Elemental

A dangerous and powerful foe, the flame elemental is a magical beast hewn from lava rock and fire. Tough and blazing hot, anywhere this elemental steps a trail of fire burns in its wake. It knows powerful fire magic and is aggressive, looking for foes it can defeat. Don't mess with one of these unless you are prepared to face high- damaging and large AoE attacks that can cause Ignite and Burn.

Water Elemental

On the other end of the spectrum, there is the water elemental, which has a mastery over all aspects and phases of water. Using roots to support its watery form, it packs a punch and can turn droplets into razor-sharp deadly shards of ice, blast you off your feet with a burst of water, and heal itself with regnerative abilities. They are fiercely territorial, and once engaged, will fight until its target is destroyed. Approach with extreme caution, as getting into a fight with one of these is bound to cost you some damage!

Air Elemental

Air might seem to be a harmless element, but when you see the vicious storm that is the air elemental you will have second thoughts! This creature is an amalgamation of storm clouds around a stoney body, providing substance to the etherial form. The stones are charged with electricity and form dense storm clouds from which stunning lightning can erupt at distance with deadly precision. Facing off with one of these mischievious beings will blast you off your feet with gusts of wind, strike you with bolts of lightning, and defend itself in a sphere of wind against all projectile attacks. Due to its lightweight, it moves with great agility making getting a strike on it very difficult. You are in for a wild goose chase trying to defeat one of these miscreants!

Earth Elemental

The bulkiest of the elementals, the earth elemental cannot be defeated in any short period of time. Made of solid levitating stone, you are litterally up against a brick wall if you find yourself in a fight with one of these tough foes! They can hurl giant crushing boulders, impale you with stalagmites, and build walls of stone to cut you off from retreat. Like all of the elementals, this one is aggressive, but it is much slower than the others, relying on brute strength and impenetrable defence to win its fights. You may need more than sharpened steel to defeat one of these incredible beasts.

Creatures of the Wood

Then there are the creatures that spring fourth from the Earth that you have to worry about. These creatures can regenerate health much faster while on their home turf, and can inflict nasty status effects on you.

Toxic Mushroom Fiend

This is not a mushroom you want to eat, in fact, it wants to eat you! It spews out a continuous stream of toxic spores that can generate new mushroom enemies and eat away at your health. Its flesh is actually toughened to reduce the effectiveness of blades, and striking this may cause acid to spring forth and burn you! Make sure to bring a healthy dose of antidote and burn heal with you when facing off against one of these bad creatures!

Trent

A tree-ent, or trent, is a powerful and ancient tree being that is capable of movement and combat. Its powerful limbs can knock a person Unconscious temporarily if it hits successfully. It can shape its twigs into spears that it can throw as an arrow or stick you like a spear, Crippling or Weakening you in combat. While very slow and weak to fire, these beasts usually have many friends with them, and as they like to say, it is better to speak softly and carry a big stick. You better be carrying a good source of fire if you want to deal with these territorial beings!

Mystical Creatures

Not all potential enemies are outright hostile, take for instance the following:

Unicorn

A symbol of magical peace, the elusive unicorn is a mythical mystical creature that looks like a white stallion with a single horn. It is a harbinger of healing and serenity, but many seek its horn as source of healing remedy or for enchanting, or as a coveted prize. It will defend itself fiercing if attacked, and can impale with its horn and stun and knock you off your feet with its dense hooves. Killing a unicorn is seen by many as a crime against nature, yet others consider the mere existance of the creature a crime against nature.
