Warcry's Darkfall Beastiary

The following information is the most current and was obtained from the offical Darkfall Online website.

Old and possibly unreliable information no longer available on the offical website may be viewed here.

Arthain Using a combination of fleshcrafting and necromancy, the arthain create armies of malformed constructs which defend their lairs and raid neighboring communities. The arthain themselves are gifted but highly specialized spellcasters, who possess an almost uncanny grasp of the unholy and necromantic schools of magic.

Black Knights Hell-spawned spirits clad in huge, elaborately decorated suits of plate mail armor: Black Knights are aggressive, mercilessly tenacious guardian creatures, whose glowing red eyes betray their demonic origin.

Centaurs Wild-spirited and xenophobic, the centaurs of Agon patrol their hunting grounds assiduously, attacking any perceived trespasser. Centaurs are expert archers who use their mobility and local knowledge to great advantage, harassing and ambushing the intruder until he flees or dies.

Demons Demons are born in fire, and the cradle's flames still burn in their hearts and bellies. As embers issue from furnace-hot bodies, they spew fire and molten rock upon their enemies, while pounding them with huge hammers that were forged in the infernal pits of their homeland.

Devils Veiled by layer upon layer of subtle magic, and guarded by armies of spell-ensnared henchmen, devils wield their insidious influence upon entire communities, guilds or even nations. Devils are among the world's most adept spellcasters, and if confronted, they may unleash truly epic levels of magic-fuelled destruction upon their enemies.

Dragon, Red Burning with implacable hatred, red dragons lay waste to entire regions, destroying or devouring any creature that strays within their ken. Usually preferring to stay on the wing, red dragons rain fiery death on their opponents, sometimes slaying entire adventuring parties with a single, well-aimed belly-breath.

Forest Golems Leaf-clad and root-footed, the Forest Golem is a patch of forest brought to life by sylvan magic. Towering over all but the tallest of trees, they pound their enemies with fists that have the hardness and circumference of fully grown oak trunks.

Giant Spiders These eight-legged murder machines use magic or poison to incapacitate their victims, before sucking the life-juices out of their quivering, still-living bodies. Unlike their smaller relatives, giant spiders tend to hunt in large packs that are controlled and coordinated by outsized, resourceful matriarchs.

Goblins In wave after green-skinned wave, goblin hordes crash into the battle-lines of their enemies, seeking to overwhelm with sheer numbers and the momentum of their charge. Individual goblins sacrifice themselves almost cheerfully in battle, safe in the knowledge that there's more where they came from.

Hobgoblins Hell-spawned spirits clad in huge, elaborately decorated suits of plate mail armor: Black Knights are aggressive, mercilessly tenacious guardian creatures, whose glowing red eyes betray their demonic origin.

Lions With their strong jaws, supreme predatory instincts, and relatively advanced hunting tactics, a pack of lions can pose as much of a threat as many a horned and scaly monster.

Sarlids Fuelled by venom coursing through their veins, these strange humanoids attack with lunatic ferocity, repeatedly stabbing their enemies with poison-laced, stinger-shaped twin lances.

Servants of Malut Driven by some residual spark of sentience, Servants throw themselves on the swords of their enemies, begging them to end their miserable existence. Press-ganged in their hundreds, these half-undead shells are the highly expendable cannon fodder of the Red Prince's armies.

Svartdvergir Night-eyed, bare-chested and covered in strange tattoos, the svartdvergir fight with berserker fury, relentlessly swinging axes that radiate dark magic. While in a state of battle-rage, svartdvergir warriors channel the wrath of a cruel deity whose liquid essence infects them all.

Zombies "In a world teeming with necromancers and ghouls, you'd think they'd consider some alternatives to interring corpses intact under small quantities of excavation-friendly dirt."
