Despite their diminutive appearance, dwarven mercenaries are pound-for-pound some of the most fiercest warriors in all of the realms. These do fight for coin, but they also fight with honor and loyalty with devotion to their employers as if coin was the same as soil. Instinct: To defend or attack

• Follow orders
• Fall back to reinforcements
• Go berserk when cornered

Hidden amongst the river rocks, their thick pebbly hide strong as bone, Rocktoads lash out with their long tongues, sticky and barbed, disarming prey or dragging them into the depths and holding them down until their struggling ceases. Rocktoads are slow-moving when they shuffle-walk along the banks and usually don't stray far from the water. They generally move in leaping bursts, days of still silence followed by a flurry of lashing tongues, splashing water and the crunch of bones as their prey is drowned and devoured, and they settle back in to wait for another foolish intruder. Instinct: Protect its territory

• Lash out suddenly
• Use the water to deadly advantage
• Wrench someone or something in from afar
