The flying, all-seeing terror, a beholder fills those who see it with terror! Making it's lair in frigid hills, abandoned ruins, or the rare occasion under large cities it seeks to control through subtle & coercive means.

Each beholders' lair is festooned with trophies and the occasional petrified adventurer unfortunate enough to have crossed its' path. Instinct: To control

Souls who do not earn their way into any particular deity's heaven are offered a choice: become one with the void, or wander the Fulldark for eternity. Souls that enter the Fulldark are met with a blasted, twisted mirror of the world they tread as mortals. It doesn't take long for they themselves to be corrupted. When a soul from the Fulldark returns to the land of the living, be it through magic or some terrible bargain, it appears as a being of pure shadow, but for the terrible, empty white eyes with which it sees the world it lost. Instinct: To Spread its Baleful Influence, to Drive Out the Living

• Strike with dark weaponry
• Convert into Shadow
• Open a gate to the Fulldark

"Good morning," the Thing in the Well calls, "And how are we doing this morning Mrs. Westmen?" -- "Just wonderfully. How have you been keeping, Thing?" -- "Fine, fine. A little peckish, a bit in the mood for, you know, a nibble, a bite to eat. But don't worry yourself, perfectly fine." -- "It's quite alright Thing, I was just thinking I should bring by some lunch. How does a ham sound?" -- "You are too kind Mrs. Westmen, just too kind..." -- The Thing in the Well has lived in the village for longer than anyone can remember. It is traditional to fix regular meals for the Thing, and to present it with a sheep or pig on special occasions. Years ago a boy went down the well on a dare. He never returned. The subject has not been broached in the presence of the Thing. Instinct: To devour

His first heralds are the land's beasts, who yip and howl long before those tall dark clouds creep over the horizon. When you hear the rumbling thunder, you have little time. Once you feel the frigid rain on your skin, it is too late: He has claimed your lands as his own. His true form, if a force of nature can have one, is that of a great reclining lizard. His eyes crackle with electricity as he looks you up and down, but in the end, he finds all wanting. Instinct: to rule

• Make a promise he does not intend to keep.
• Teleport as lightning to an advantageous position

• Ignite the forest
• Invoke the fear of primal destruction

Those who go delving for the earth's bounty would do well to beware the host of metallic oozes that can be found. The Quicksilver Ooze is the name given to various different species of ooze with a silvery metallic appearance.

While the exterior is normally slightly cold to the touch, the centre of the ooze is capable of reaching temperatures high enough to melt wolfram. Instinct: to envelop

• Create a hardened metal shell

A primordial being from the Land of Dreams. Some say the Night Terror is the source of nightmares that leave one's bedsheets dripping with sweat. In rare cases, the Night Terror has been known to enter a dream directly, an event which often leaves the victim shaken for life, if they ever wake up at all. It retreats from light, but in a dream, it has full control of the environment. Scholars dispute whether the Night Terror is a god or simply a force of nature, but it remains unknown whether it can even be harmed, let alone destroyed. Instinct: to terrify.

• Invade a dream
• Summon your greatest fear
