animated (created from dead flesh, stone, metal, et al; animated are usually not mindless, as a brain is often required for them to do any but the most ridiculously simple tasks; this brain though not its former self will retain intellect and in many cases the animated becomes resentful, even murderous)
chimera (monster composed of three different animal parts; origins unclear, but different types are clearly fertile with each other; generally a vicious killer)
demons (myriad types, some 'merely' a local menace, other among the most powerful of all enemies; demons, arch-demons and hell gods have been notorious since the dawn of time and are universally feared; all manner of fell beasts are called demons, in many cases this is accurate, since demonic forms and powers are bewildering)
ghoul (lesser demon that is still a lethal opponent - testimony to the power of demons; ghouls gravitate toward places of burial, devouring corpses and attacking solitary travellers, especially at night; ghouls can change form from their usual horrible bipedal form - huge claws and fangs, large red eyes - to animal form, usually choosing a canine, or to normal human/humanoid form)
gorgon (demon; upper body female, except ugly with serpents in place of hair; lower body long, serpentine; power to petrify victims, turning them to stone, and often smashing the remains; gorgon are also very strong and vicious in combat; male gorgon are sickly-looking demons whose gaze does not petrify but inflicts pestilence or even sudden death; also their long snouts sport razor-sharp, venomous fangs - the males avoid any physical combat, instead creeping in the dark and quietly inflicting death and disease)
homunculi (myriad forms of life created in the alembic of an alchemist; attributes vary widely as well as reasons for creation)
wendigo (horrible furry monster that is a smaller image of the great wendigo; active cold weather, especially in the north and along mountain ranges; further south it hibernates until the end of fall to the end of winter; utterly bestial, violent and immensely destructive, wendigo will attack and kill strong and weak alike with no fear or regard for its own well being)
wintekowa ("child of the wendigo"; created from a dead child, guards tombs; enacts terrible vengeance; takes the form of a small mummified corpse with grotesque modifications that include huge claws and a horribly fanged snout; although it will no longer have eyes in its sockets, it is very aware of its surroundings and can see and hear flawlessly; wintekowa usually lie inert, waiting for the right time to strike those who desecrate their tomb or the graves they are to guard, and will stalk desecrators to the ends of the earth; supernatural strength and unwavering determination, in addition to being extremely difficult to destroy, make wintekowa deadly)
