Azrahel Koth

The demon sorcerer Azrahel Koth is Sathmog’s greatest servant in the Misty Vale, resurrected by his master to spread the demon cult throughout the world.

Khaa the Fire Demon

Khaa was summoned by Azrahel Koth to guard his crypt, but proved to be something of a disappointment as the demon was more interested in discussing the mysteries of existence than fighting. 

Khaa appears as a humanoid seemingly made of fire, always sizzling, crackling, and smoldering, even while standing still. Its voice hisses like steam escaping wet wood on a large fire.

The She-Spider Saak'shal

Giant spiders are rapacious predators that can unfortunately be found all over the world. They are drawn to dark and damp spaces, but always on the hunt for living meat in forests and caves as well as mountains and ruined cities.

Particularly sly individuals can even build their nests under popular inns or near underground libraries and treasure chambers. Ancient females can grow as large as a house, but most are roughly the size of a well-fed cow.

Giant spiders are smarter than they look, and in some parts of the world, older females can attain the status of oracles or demigods.

Saak’shal is an ancient spider with cloudy gray eyes whose edges are covered with crusts of old pus and dirt. She moves jerkily but quickly and is almost twice the size of normal giant spiders. 

The Demon Ix

He promised Kato the Curious immortality. Never trust a demon.

Stare and her dogs

A chain rattles in the darkness. You see a pair of glowing eyes and the sickly gleam of decaying teeth. A pulsing smell of sulfur assaults your nostrils as the figure approaches and finally attacks with a chilling shriek.

These frothing beasts, with yellow bloodshot eyes, will not stop until their victim is torn to pieces. They are Stare’s old dogs, which she could not be without even after her death.

Rotlaug

The nature spirit Rotlaug is as crooked as a dwarf birch, with skin as rough and pale as the bark of a birch tree. His face is dominated by a wide, toothless mouth. His nose is like a small bud and his eyes like tiny peppercorns. As for his goals in life, he has only two: to be free and take revenge for all his years in captivity

Demon

Demons are mysterious and terrifying creatures from the grim world beyond. Like dragons, they are sprung from ancient magic, and they are driven by the same insatiable, arrogant hunger for power that also burns in the hearts of dragons. They view dragons as mortal enemies and despise all other creatures as lesser and essentially insignificant forms of life. They have a destructive effect on the structures of the world and seek to destroy all that is fixed – from social relationships, peace treaties, and friendships, to nations, civilizations, and cosmic laws. Demons come in all shapes and sizes, but their appearance is always frightening. The stats below are only an example.

The White Death

A deathly pale, rough-scaled sea serpent with a thick, wide body and a flat head with milky eyes and three curved horns. The beast emerges silently from the water before letting out a terrible, guttural roar that reeks of centuries of death as it attacks. The White Death can be lured to the surface by lowering a suitable prey into the water.

Wight

Wights are the undead spirits of princes, princesses, and great warriors. They are powerful beings and have a will of their own, unlike creatures such as skeletons. However, this will is linked to a torn consciousness where hatred of the living is the dominant feature. Wights differ from ghosts in that they are corporeal, often wearing ancient armor and wielding mighty weapons and artifacts they took with them to their graves. Luckily, they are often bound to certain places, such as the burial mound where they were entombed.

Ghost

Ghosts are the restless spirits of those unable to find peace in death. They are incorporeal undead who usually manifest themselves as translucent figures, often shimmering blue with twisted facial features. They are always bound to certain places, normally linked to their physical remains or the event that caused their premature death. 

Ghosts almost always have a specific problem that needs to be solved for them to find eternal peace and leave the living alone. It may be a matter of revenge or a debt that must be paid; other times the ghost’s remains must be collected and given a proper burial.

Giant

Giants are colossal humanoids with a strong but mysterious connection to the very bedrock of the world. Some scholars believe that they are related to dwarves; others maintain that they are remnants of a great civilization that long ago rose against the dragons. Giants are mainly found in mountainous areas, where they live alone or in small families. They are normally quite shy and reclusive, but some are highly territorial and will attack anyone who comes too close to their caves.

The Manticore

They have human-like faces, but seem incapable of human speech – probably because their maws are packed with sharp fangs. They have the body of a lion and their tail ends in a swollen lump, covered in spikes and nasty growths.

The Basilisk

The basilisk in the Dead Eyes Cave is unusually large – a terrifying beast with a reptilian body, a rooster’s head, and huge, murderous claws.

The Worg Rider

The goblin commander is armed with a scimitar and a long spear and rides a bloodthirsty worg.
