Found among goblin war bands, Goblin Stalkers hide among the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike the back of an unsuspecting combatant. If a war band has the option, they will always keep at least one Goblin Stalker among them. Many is the time a goblin was outmatched by a larger combatant who suddenly dropped to their knees, a Goblin Stalker's long knife wedged deeply in their back. A Goblin Stalker will only engage in melee if there is no other option, for the shadows and sneak attacks are their closest allies and they use them to great effect. The presence of one or more Goblin Stalkers in a band of goblins raises the band's morale. Instinct: Stab you in the back

• Hide in shadows
• Sneak around quietly
• Backstab unwitting or occupied victims

Devourer from the Abyss, and mother of all horrors, the Dragon walks in mortal guise.

• Take the pleasing form of a princess, with noble bearing and wise eyes
• Summon storms, demons, devils, gorgons, or dragons under the full moon

This horror is a man-sized spider-thing whose eight legs all end in human hands. It grabs victims with its front hands, then pulls them in to deliver a poison, paralyzing bite. The Phalangulus drags its prey to its lair at the end of a twisted maze of dungeon crawlspace to devour at its leisure. Instinct: to ambush

• Grab, pull, bite and poison

When the orcish slavers get cockey, or desperate, they start striking at shipping. Orc ships are clumsy, and cannot catch the ships of men or elves.

• shred the sails
• signal the nest-ship to attack
• wrap an explosive bolas around the mast

• slowly kill those trapped with fictional dangers or slow starvation

• Turn a worthy enemy to stone with a look
• Draw someone's gaze

It lives within its cave devouring any adventurer who has the misfortune of wandering through. "OOOOOHHH!" "No, no, no Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh, at the back of the throat." "No, no ooooooh is surprise and alarm." "Oh you mean sort of a AAAAAH!" Instinct: to devour
