1-24	*Elder Beast* Rank Extreme (2 ticks per harm; inflicts 4 harm) Features Twice the size of their common kin, or more Red eyes Drives Dominate Tactics Intimidating display Overwhelming attack Description Elder beasts—wolves, bears and boars—are huge, monstrous versions of their common kin. They are primarily solitary creatures, though elder wolves have been known to lead a pack of common wolves. They are not aggressive, but are protective of their lands and the creatures within it. Some say they are avatars of the old gods and as long-lived as the oldest trees.
25-47	*Harrow Spider* Rank Dangerous (2 progress per harm; inflicts 2 harm) Features Massive fangs Long legs and bloated body Eight iridescent black eyes Drives Lurk Feed Tactics Drop atop prey Bite with pincers Trap in webbing Description These gigantic creatures are a menace in woodlands throughout the Ironlands. Despite their size, they move through high branches with unnatural grace, dropping suddenly to grapple their prey and entomb them in webbing.
48-70	*Mammoth* Rank Extreme (2 ticks per harm; inflicts 4 harm) Features Woolly fur Large head and curved tusks Prehensile trunk Drives Migrate to fertile ground Forage for food Protect the young of the herd Tactics Form a protective circle Charge Trample Gore Description These beasts resemble the elephants of the Old World’s southern realms, but are larger and covered in a coat of thick fur. They travel in herds among the Tempest Hills, migrating south with the winter and north with the spring. They are not aggressive creatures, but are fearless and will fight to the death to protect their young. A herd of mammoths is an amazing and humbling sight, but smart Ironlanders keep their distance and stay upwind.
71-80	*Basilisk* Rank Extreme (2 ticks per harm; inflicts 4 harm) Features Giant snake Dull yellow-brown skin Vibrant yellow eyes Drives Devour Tactics Lay in wait Mesmerizing gaze Sudden bite Crush Description Basilisks dwell in the Flooded Lands, lurking in the murky waters of the swamps or within marshy thickets. There, they wait patiently for prey. They regularly feed on marsh rats or deer, but will eagerly make a meal out of a passing Ironlander.
81-90	*Wyvern* Rank Extreme (2 ticks per harm; inflicts 4 harm) Features Huge bat-like wings Rows of teeth each the size of a knife Thick hide with a metallic sheen Long tail Drives Watch for prey from high above Feed Tactics Swoop down Snap up prey Fearsome roar Bash with tail Description There are several breeds of wyverns in the Ironlands. On the eastern coast, tawny wyverns nest in the cliffs of the Barrier Islands and Ragged Shore, diving for fish in the surrounding waters. Inland, the verdant wyverns dwell in forested regions. The largest and most fearsome breed, the iron wyverns, hunt among the Tempest Hills and along the flanks of the Veiled Mountains. All wyverns have wolfish heads with wide jaws, thick bodies, and sinuous tails. They have short hind limbs and elongated forelimbs which extend along their wings. In flight, they are a terrifying but awe-inspiring creature. On the ground, they lumber heavily on all four limbs, their wings folded back, jaws agape, gaze fixed on their prey. They are the grim cruelty of the Ironlands given form. They are death.
91-100	*Leviathan* Rank Epic (1 tick per harm; inflicts 5 harm) Features Massive bulk Flesh as tough as iron Cold black eyes Sinuous grace Drives Slumber in the depths Destroy those who trespass Tactics Rise from the depths Ram and swamp ships Devour prey whole Description These massive sea beasts lurk in the darkness of the deepest fjords and in the abyssal depths beyond the Barrier Islands. They sometimes surface to hunt within shallower waters. They will indiscriminately destroy any Ironlander craft which stray to close to their hunting grounds. Watchful sailors might catch sight of a leviathan circling their boat, studying them, in the moments before it attacks. Their dagger-shaped head is as tough and destructive as any battering ram, able to shatter a ship in a single blow.
