• Barge out of nowhere
• Familial war-call

A troll from the frozen tundras. Treats anything smaller than itself as a potential meal, and is perpetually on the hunt for more food. It regenerates, although slower than its mainland bretheren. It is mottled grey and blue, an attempt at blending in with the icy landscape it hails from. It will throw chunks of ice or snow, but a normal boulder will suffice if none can be found. Instinct: Seek food

• Hunt for food, throw boulders, swing club

A giant snake that lives inside a burrow made from icy tunnels. Its white/blue coloring allows it to blend in with the ice and snow in which it makes its home. The Snow Serpent will strike at prey, and drag the back to its tunnels once its icy venom has taken effect. Instinct: Drag prey back to its burrow.

• Ambush from icy tunnels
• Freeze with venom

Stolen bits and pieces in the night. Graveyards stealthily uprooted and maybe tonight an arm, a leg, another head (the last one came apart too soon).

• Longs for friend
• Smash!

A mob of angry villagers that will murder anything that crosses their path. Instinct: Destroy

• Burn all!
• Express insane rage
• Will dissolve if suffers serious damage

For days a lurkfish lies in the water, not feeding, not moving. Being cold-blooded, it only needs to eat occasionally. It is an ambush predator, lying in wait. The mouth of a lurkfish splits the whole of its broad snout and from its thick lips hang short barbels that are sensitive to any movement in the water. More barbels sprout from its face. Tall and branched, they mimic the thick tangle of water weeds covering the swamp. But the barbels are not just a means of camouflage. Like the electric catfish, the lurkfish is able to generate a powerful electric field. The barbels form an electrical sensory net, capable of detecting even the smallest movement of potential prey in the water nearby. Like a crocodile, the lurkfish has a mail of thick, protective plates covering its body beneath its skin. This armor shields the lurkfish's internal organs, but its external fins, barbels and sensors are vulnerable in a fight. The lurkfish has another weapon at its disposal. Its electrical system is not just a sensory device but is also used in hunting. A lurkfish can overcome large and combative prey by administering a powerful electric shock to its victim. Instinct: To hunt

• Paralyze victims with an electric shock
• Appear like a log (camouflage)
• Swallow whole small prey

In most respects, the swampus looks like a typical octopus. One difference is immediately apparent: at first glance this creature appears to have four tentacles instead of eight. This is because four of its original tentacles have evolved into weight-bearing pads which it uses to move over land. They function like the foot of a gastropod, carrying the animal along by a rippling action of the muscles. The suckers of the tentacles have developed into horny ridges that grip the ground beneath them. The long tentacles at the front of the swampus are also used in locomotion, reaching out to grip logs and trunks, and then pulling the creature along. It is a clumsy movement, but sufficient to carry the animal's 44-pound (20 kilograms) weight through the thick vegetation of the humid swamp. The swampus can survive on land for up to four days at a time, safe from the electrical attacks of lurkfish. However, it must return to the water to replenish its oxygen supply and carry out other vital functions, such as mating. The murky water is no place to rear a family, though. Once she has mated, a female swampus clambers out of the water and into the surrounding vegetation to find a safe place in which to deposit her fertilized eggs. Instinct: To survive

• Entangle them with tentacles
• Camouflage
