Creature Types: Monsters

Creature Typing

In the Anaxverse, creature typing helps provide additional detail on a creature and what they are skilled at. All creatures have a typing in some way. Creatures typing encompasses both beasts and monsters, as well as other non human entities one may discover.

Monster Types

Throughout the lore of Brandon Somerville, there are a large variety of monsters prevalent. Many of these were released into the wild from the well-intentioned Siri Solen, who broke them out of a lab where they were being studied and tortured.

Ghost

Ghosts are incorporeal spirits. They are not necessarily evil, and may simply be lost souls. They have memories of their past, and can interact with those that can commune with the dead.

Goblin

Goblins are small green creatures. While usually weak on their own, they tend to swarm in groups.

Hobgoblin

Hobgoblins are taller than run of the mill goblins. They have quicker wit, and can behave in civilized society; though with a cunning mind.

Mermaid

Mermaids are sea creatures with a human top half and a fish tail on the bottom. They are sexualized creatures, having magical abilities. They can transform females into more mermaids, and are carnivorous to men.

Nosferatu

The nosferatu are shape-shifting vampires. They are gangly, but extremely strong creatures. Many of them are driven by pure instinct.

Rusalka

Rusalka are drowned women, who seek to create more of their kind. They take on the appearance of a corpse in the body of water they were drowned, and then drown others who go to investigate the corpse. They are highly sexual creatures, and have access to hypnosis.

Werewolf

Werewolves are physically powerful creatures, blending the intelligence of humans with the strength and brutality of a wolf.

Vampire

Vampires are amongst the oldest of the monsters here. With roots in ancient Egypt, there have been prominent vampires throughout history.

Zombie

Zombies are reanimated creatures, and are part of the undead race. Their reanimation can be done magically, biologically, or electrically. Magical reanimation is most prevalent as rising corpses, subjected to the will of the reanimator. This is usually done through the power of a necromancer. Biological zombies are people that have been put in a state of mind akin to zombie behavior, with extreme cases including the decay of their bodies. Electrically produced zombies are created monstrosities, usually from the mind of a mad scientist. Using electrical pulses to mimic blood flow, the decaying internal organs can work anew.
