A vampiric half-serpent woman the lamia is often manages a band of lesser jackalware thralls. A human drained of blood by a lamia will arise three days after death as a jakalware thrall of a lamia unless the victim's body is burnt or given a proper burial. It’s fairly clear that the Lamia was a precursor figure to the well-recognized vampires and succubae of modern fantasy and horror literature. In 1819, the English Romantic poet John Keats composed a poem simply titled “Lamia” that then influenced one of Edgar Allan Poe’s sonnets (“To Science”), which is all to say that there is something about this creature’s origin and character that has continued to capture popular attention over the course of several thousand years. It’s unfortunate that the Lamia’s role in blood-sucking and seducing men has been more or less usurped in popular culture and fantasy by the vampire and the succubus, but at the very least, her essence has survived in recognizable ways in those creatures to this day. Instinct: Drain Blood

The gods are beyond you and me. What is the only true and just action to them can be incomprehensible to our mortal minds. Do not fear me for my figure, our lives are not so far divorced. Even I cannot truly understand why they do what they do, but I accept that it's for the best, and hope you will one day accept this too. Don't worry. Take your time. When you are ready, take my hand; any one of them. Let me wrap you in my cloth, so that you too can know what they're like. I'm sure we'll understand some day. Instinct: To guide mortals

All the horrors that have befallen the world was once foretold by a wise council of deities. They foresaw it all, and wrote a list of names. Each name on the list would need to be slain for the world to prosper, and so the order known as The Right Hand Sworn was born. Most need not worry when encountering these knights, but be wary for if they find your name to be on this list, nothing will save you from their god-granted blades grafted to the ends of their right arms. None can escape their judgement. Instinct: Cross names off their list

• Locate a name on the list
• Send away the scroll-keepers to record a fight

Objects of fear or pity, and often both, ghouls are metahumans infected with the virulent Krieger strain of HMHVV, the human-metahuman vampiric virus. The disease causes extreme changes in the victim’s body. He loses all body hair, and the skin becomes a grayish-tinted, scabrous hide. The fingers grow elongated, and the nails harden into sharp claws. The teeth become longer and sharper, and the eyes film over, leaving featureless white orbs glaring out of their sockets. The disease also wreaks havoc on the victim’s intellect, leaving many ghouls mindless, vicious eating machines. Most ghouls retain much of their personality and intellect, but even these are generally traumatized and changed from their pre-Krieger state. They are ostracized from “normal” society because of the diet they’re forced to subsist on. Ghouls must eat raw meat to survive, and a significant portion of that must be in the form of raw metahuman flesh. While they often scavenge their food from graveyards and organlegging chopshops, they’re not above hunting. When they hunt, they usually do so in packs of six to twenty individuals. They live in isolated areas, away from prying eyes but close enough to a metahuman population for them to feed. Instinct: Alimentarse

Cynidiceans are a special type of normal humans who live in the underground Lost City. They have pale skin, white hair, large eyes, and infravision.

Although Zargon is ancient, it is no god. It is a cunning creature that discovered its "godhood" makes it easier to get victims. Zargon was worshipped by primitive peoples in early times, but retreated underground when the primitives were wiped out by the ancestors of the Cynidiceans. Zargon remained in a strange hibernation for many years. By chance, the Cynidiceans built the pyramid on the spot where Zargon's original shrine stood, and the later digging of the Cynidicean slaves awakened the creature. Zargon can regenerate its body as long as its great horn is not destroyed. Regeneration from the bare horn may take a number of years, but otherwise Zargon is likely to be at full strength whenever the party encounters it. Zargon's horn can only be destroyed by being cast into a volcanic fire. Zargon will not regenerate during an encounter (it regrows too slowly for that). Instinct: Devours sacrifices
