For the purposes of organization and keeping in line with the trading card game, this article will refer to Units.

Mobs are going to be arranged in groups by type, as well as alphabetically. Probably the most common will be Mystical, so everyone grab up your enchanted weapons.

Units

Generic Mortals

  • Marconian Pikemen - pretty basic

Undead

  • Basic zombie
    • Draugr - dead warrior haunted by it's own spirit, borrowed from norse mythology.
      • Thusen Draugr - a dead warrior haunted by his own spirit in Dolahan armor.
      • Dolahan - empty suit of armor possessed by a demon. Probably a miss-spelling of Dullahan, but different enough to be acceptable.
  • Dullahan - probably the basis for my Dolahan, but in MRPG a different monster. Basically a possessed headless horsmen in awesome armor using its own demon head as a shield. Maybe a more powerful version of the Dolahan?

Other

  • Nuckelavee - looks like a skinless, fused horse and rider. Borrowed from Orcadian lore. Not going to be terribly similar, but will have weakness to water magic.
  • Tsuchigumo - giant transforming intelligent spider, it neatly circumvents the "spiders don't scale up" problem by being magical(AKA "A wizard did it"). Could do a whole quest-chain on these. Borrowed from Japanese folklore.

Demons and Fiends

Due to a recentish necessary change in the Course Books, "demons" have been brought more in line with the traditional usage of the terminology. The term Daemon now refers to evil, flesh-and-blood monsters created by Moroni. Yes, I am aware that in greek mythology daemons are supposed to be good, I'm just stealing a word, shut up.

  • Fiends - fiends are less powerful, more common. Usually light and fast, focusing on melee attacks.
  • Daemon - much more powerful than fiends, almost as strong as true demons.
