Hello,

Have you all considered posting some renders of some of the creatures in the game? Or does that violate your policy of not revealing to much about the game?

Monsters, eh? You're right- we don't want to give anything away, but we can talk about a few creatures we've already shown in screenshots or have previously mentioned in an interview:

Fanged Salamander
A common menace throughout the land. Dangerous in numbers.
Image

Bloodsipper
A winged fiend from the underworld. Found above ground near dungeon and cave entrances.
Image

Acid Grubb
You think they're dangerous when they're alive? Wait 'till you kill one of them...
Image

Timberland Giant
600 pounds of berserker rage coming at you! Slow but very lethal.
Image

Fungal Sludge
A crawling, spitting blob of digestive terror!
Image

Giant Arachnid
It's a big spider. 'nough said.
Image

So, there may be a couple creatures here that some of you haven't seen before. The remaining lineup you're going to have to discover on your own!

Excellent thanks for posting!

Im interested in the Giants. For some reason, I have always found Giants interesting. Any background info on them that you would be willing to reveal? Where do they come from, do they have a purpose in the game?

Those look fantastic! Especially considering the tiny resolution (or my huge monitor at work).

Nice to see you've got original creatures with original names.

Oh, sorry Saxon, didn't mean to ignore you.

The giants do have a bit of back story within the context of the game world, but their history doesn't have much to do with the storyline so we really don't cover it in the game much. However, there are a couple side quests dealing with the giants and we are still filling in that area of the game, so I'll make sure we get some more info on the giants thrown into the narrative text.

But since you asked and we're feeling generous, we can say that the giants are not native to Thaermore (the region that the game takes place in). They were enslaved and brought there centuries earlier, but now live freely in the Timberland Plains, which is where they derive their name from.

I like it, the story of being enslaved and brought to Thaermore give you alot of different options with their background, attitudes etc.....Thanks!

No, no, you're confusing that with employee motivational tools at Basilisk HQ.
