There are many creatures throughout Yliakum, in here you will find information on both ferocious (and not so ferocious) creatures as well as rogues and other vile characters.
Wild Animals
Rarely are wild animals found in large cities except for rats which come and infest the sewers and cellars. These animals are often the best for people seeking to train since they range from simple creatures such as rats to extremely powerful monsters such as ulbernauts. Because of this, some creatures have been brought to the Hydlaa Arena so that various people can fight them without having to look for them.
Biorlitrosans

Carkarass
Clacker
Consumers
Derghir
Gawerts
Gobbles
Grendol
Rats
Tefusang
- Appearance
- A large nasty beast with leathery skin, horned appendages and two large tentacles hanging from the torso.
- Strength
- The potential strength of this breed varies widely, ranging from average to almost supernatural. Because it is hard to judge the level of threat from just the appearance, the wise adventurer should be wary when approaching one of these creatures. Tefusang's leathery skin and teeth are valued for both armor and alchemical formulas and can fetch a modest price from many merchants.
- Natural Habitat
- Tefusangs are seen throughout Yliakum. Although fairly common, they tend to avoid highly populated places, preferring areas which are rarely accessed. There is also a colony which has been brought to the arena for anyone who would like to match his or her skill against one.
Marfusang
Tloke
Trepor
- Appearance
- An intelligent and hostile creature resembling a spider, but with a human face.
- Strength
- Trepors are foul beings. It is rumoured that some are able to use magic. Trepors are difficult, but not impossible to slay.
- Natural Habitat
- Trepors dwell in the wilds for the most part, although a colony was established in the Hydlaa Arena for training purposes. One can fetch a very nice fee for the hearts of these monsters from 'animal parts' merchants.
Ulbernauts
- Appearance
- Ulbernauts are vicious and extremely powerful beasts; their parts are valued for many things; their hides and claws are highly valuable to 'fur and animal parts' traders, while their hearts are prized by magicians and priests as a component of ritual magic.
- Strength
- One of the deadliest creatures in all of Yliakum, Ulbernauts stand over four meters tall, have two massively clawed arms, a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and a thick coat of shaggy, nearly impenetrable fur. They can strike with lightning speed at close range, but they are slow moving. Even the most experienced adventurer treads lightly in close proximity to one of these beasts.
- Natural Habitat
- Rarely encountered, they tend to nest in places far from civilization.
Velnishi
Domesticated Animals
Domesticated animals are creatures which have been adapted to work or to just provide company. Of the latter, the most common species are the Groffel and the Yulbar. However, there are some people who might want a clacker for a pet. Animals like the Pterosaur, the Goujah and the Megaras aren't often kept as pets, but as working beasts they are quite practical.
Goujah
The goujah is a kind of draft animal, often used to transport heavy material from one town to an other, or provide the motive power for a winch.
NOTE: Not much is known about the Goujah as the Dev team has not released much information about them
Groffel
Kikiri
Kikiris are small chook-like animals. They have wings, however they are rarely seen flying. Kikiris are often killed and eaten at festivities, making them quite common in farms, however, having said this, they can also be found in people's backyard, scratching to find food and unearthing flowers at the same time.
- Appearance
- A small bird much like our world's chicken.
- Strength
- Kikiris can be fairly easily killed, however they can provide good training for kids learning how to attack.
- Natural Habitat
- Kikiris' natural habitat is unknown, they might have been in Yliakum from before it was uninhabited or they might have been taken in Yliakum with the first settlers.
Megaras
Megaras are large bat-like flying creatures dating from even before the pterosaur. They are only found in Yliakum, and therefore, some scientists believe that they have been genetically mutated by the Crystal. Megaras are stronger and tougher then pterosaurs making them ideal to carry goods, however, they cannot carry people nor can they transport precious goods since they are too rough. Just like with pterosaurs, a person can only have in his or her possession one megaras.
Pterosaur
Yulbar
Yulbars are currently only found when magical rings are used to summon them. Yulbars are sometimes used to help mine ores and attack wild animals. Groffels are usually kept for enjoyment and unlike the Groffel, it is not used to carry messages often.
- Appearance
- A small amphibious looking creature with rounded spikes on its back
- Strength
- Possesses the strength of a small child
- Natural Habitat
- Domesticated Yulbars are usually summoned from the Netherworld
Malicious Characters
People seeking a fight can not only attack various creatures, they can also try to kill rogues, mercenaries and other vile characters. Some of this lot are extremely powerful and hard to vanquish, whereas others are weak enough to be defeated with little or no skill.
Brigands
Brigands, like thugs and rogues, are vile characters who loiter around merchants and steal whatever they can, whenever they can.
- Appearance
- Most bandits disguise themselves as ordinary civilians to get near merchants and make themselves hard to spot in a crowd.
- Strength
- Location
- Although bandits steal items, they are mostly seen in remote areas.
Gladiators
Gladiators are characters eager to fight anything that moves. Some may even pursue people to satisfy their desire for combat.
- Appearance
- Gladiators are generally equipped with weapons and armour, but not always.
- Strength
- Gladiators are always fighting and, therefore, have gained a lot of experience. They can be devastating to the inexperienced.
- Location
- Gladiators are employed by the Arena.
Mercenaries
Mercenaries are characters who like fighting against nearly anyone and anything.
- Appearance
- Most mercenaries are equipped with armour and weapons.
- Strength
- Because of their constant training, they are highly skilled in the use of weapons.
- Location
- Mercenaries are employed by the Arena.
Rogues
Rogues are the most common type of vile character in Yliakum. Some will drop precious items, while others are only good for the combat experience. What's more, it is impossible to judge from their appearance whether they are strong or not.
- Appearance
- Rogues are normally dark clothed characters. They can sometimes be seen with a weapon in hand, but they prefer to keep them concealed.
- Strength
- Some rogues can be very powerful, while others can be extremely easy to kill.
- Location
- Rogues are mainly found in places where things can be stolen, or in the dark, mysterious regions. They are seldom seen out in the open.
Thugs
Thugs are very much like Rogues, but far less common.
- Appearance
- Like Rogues, they wear dark clothes. Most people cannot differentiate one from the other.
- Strength
- Normally, they can be handled by a trained warrior, but the inexperienced should always beware.
- Location
- Like rogues, they prefer the secret regions where not many people venture.
Cutthroat
Cutthroats are powerful highwayman, and can be found on the road to the Bronze Doors.
- Appearance
- Cutthroats can be of different races, commonly clad in varying amounts of armour.
- Strength
- They are very powerful warriors, comparable to the Ulbernauts.
- Location
- They can be found on the roads, ready to ambush the weary traveller.
