Shades of Battler, Animated (467), DragonBones (260)

As a colony driven species, ant folk are very rarely seen away from their hive. A few however are occasionally seen to wander further from home than normal.

Whilst non truly understand why such individuals would break from the safety of the colony, those that do are often amongst the strongest of warriors. Their skills honed by many a solo trial against foes far stronger and more adept at single combat than themselves.

Perhaps this expertise in their craft honed through hardship is the reason these lone wandering bugs set off in the first place. For, those that do return home often become royal guards, their sole purpose to protect the hive mother.

Nothing says summer like the beach. Chill waters, cool breeze, hot rays, scorching sands… The perfect retreat for all weary travellers exhausted by all that running and jumping under the summer sun.

But be careful, for these sands are known for inhabiting various local residents who don't take kind to intruders upon their beach. From the mighty skull crushing crabs to feisty sea birds, there are many dangers even to those who seek to rest. But none are as fearsome or ill tempered as the… Turtle!!

Yes, turtle; slow and clumsy creatures ill-suited for life on land, often seen as barely being a threat to anyone. How many have come to regret these hasty assumptions. For if you take your eyes off these slow cumbersome creatures for even a single second, you'll soon find yourself as roadkill.

Capable of releasing stored waters from within their shells in highly pressurised bursts, they soar along the sands like a jet ski atop the water's surface, smashing shell first into any who they believe may threaten their eggs.

Great balls of fire, hurtling down from the sky. It sounds like a joke told by veteran adventurers in attempt to teach the novices to stay alert to their surroundings even when all is clear.

However, a ball of fire plummeting into ones head from above at high velocity is never a joke.

The fain of fire as it is known is natural phenomenon like no other, for its cause is non other than that of a monster. A monster with a highly volatile constitution that results in it belching out highly explosive balls of fiery acid and bile.

With impressive force, they hurl their indigestion over large distances, raining destruction miles from their own habitats.

Danger zones and forecasts were established as a means to protect people from harm. Adventurers are often being hired to locate and track the habitats of such creatures, not to slay them but to record their diet and likely targets of their next seizure.

There is nothing like traipsing through a dark forest, weary from your travels only to hear the beaconing calls of something out in the distance.

As you draw closer, you see what appears to be a leafy flower fairy dancing in the wind, calling out for you to join it. With such a cheery expression and playful motions its very tempting to approach it, especially when so fatigued from such late travels...

But be warned for there may be a carnivorous predator awaiting your arrival. For there is a deadly plant known to impersonate friendly fairy-like creatures so as to lure prey into its wide open mouth...

A phantom like no other, its core buried deeply within a large stuffed doll. Often found in the ruins of deserted towns and old manors, but sometimes they stray beyond.

A zombie is slow, a skeleton is brittle, a ghost intangibly bound to one spot… But what of a spectral being that not just holds a body, but one that lacks any semblance of structural integrity. A body that can, if needs be, literal be carry by its resident spirit’s ghostly powers.

It is one thing to be chased by a large teddy bear waddling behind, another when it just picks itself up with unseen forces and hurl itself in your direction. Its stuffed body lacking flesh feels no resistance to your strikes. Its spirit unshackled for that which chases is that which binds it.

For this reason it is advised to be on the watch for old abandoned dolls of any kind whilst passing through such locations.
