Squid Baron

A member of the Warp Squid species and one of three Barons of Sequin Land, the Squid Baron is the ruler of the Labyrinth which bears his name. As a thief lord, the Squid Baron has an appreciation of the arts and especially in the culinary and will more often enough deceive any naive victim to get what he wants, even if that was not the willful intent. Though he does have is other vices such as trips to a tropical beach and attractive girls, to which has laid the foundation of many a downfall. Still, this does not dismay him from what is important; his family and his property. Though with the former it is quite questionable when he uses his own spawn in attacks against threats.

Robber

A flight capable Lurker, the Robber are one of the fastest breeds though this may also explain why most of the time they are generally lazing about if not asleep. Still, their presence have frightened many a wild fauna from their homes.

Hive Acolyte

One of two species that directly serve the entity known only as the Darkness, the eusocial Hive are “impossibly ancient” who are able to trace their origins within the oceans of the gas giant Fundament where a pact between their forbearers and the Worm Gods was forged. Their ultimate goal is to serve their pantheon by consuming light and wage holy war against all those whom follow the path of Light and that of the Traveler. Each member of the hive begin their lifecycle as pupae birthed from cocoons, from which they ingest a Worm larvae whole and become symbiosis with the Worm within. The Light in which both the Worm and the Hive feed is both a source of sustenance and suffering; a fact that is in line with their religious philosophy best described as Darwinist extremism known as Sword-Logic. As a result, each member of the Hive even fully grown are pale, sinewy, and vaguely humanoid with varying levels of muscles and ancient armor fused to their flesh.

The Acolyte is but a Thrall that has survived long enough to metamorphosed into their current form, they serve as the primary attack force of the Hive and gain victory in battle through the use of firearms and strategy whereas in their younger days as Thralls it was mere melee and a non-existent self-preservation philosophy. Thus, the Acolytes regular take cover when engaged with hostile elements and attempt flanking maneuvers to overwhelm and gain victory. Like their younger Thrall selves, if an Acolyte is able to survive long enough to satiate the hunger of the Worm larvae, then depending upon their gender they would morph once more into either a Wizard for a female, or a Knight for a male.

Ammonian Soldier

One of many within the Ammonian Army, the Ammonian Soldier are the loyal infantry of the Ammo Baron. Thus, they are well versed in the tactical use of firearms and explosives to flank and overwhelm the enemy; well, that is if they are lucky enough to get an able commander. Otherwise they would charge at the enemy until they achieve victory, get defeated in battle, or fall down an otherwise convenient pit.

Puffer

A flight capable Lurker, the Puffer is one of the slower of such Lurkers and is more of a guardian or sentry than an outright combat unit. Still, it is quite the capable guard when in its distended state as its body becomes enlarged and spikes protrude and thus making it nigh impossible to damage in close-range combat.

As a result, each member of the Hive even fully grown are pale, sinewy, and vaguely humanoid with varying levels of muscles and ancient armor fused to their flesh.

The Knight is a male Acolyte promoted due to their marshal prowess and ability to feed their ever-hungry Worm with the power of defeated foes, they serve as forward heavy infantry to the forces of the Hive and donned in armor harder than relic iron. Each Knight is able to conjure a large, black oval shield known as the “Wall of Darkness” that protects them from frontal attacks and heals them at the same time but only a set amount. Though they are more combat harden compared to other Hive units, the Knights are surprisingly swift of foot despite the amount of armor upon them. Additionally, when the Knight is severely wounded enough by foes, they enter into a Berserker state in which they deliver deadly melee attacks at the end of a bull rush while at the same time heal their wounds.

Double Lurker

Little more than a duo of Lurkers, the Double Lurker are one of the few types that essentially require cooperation in order to defeat their foes as they are otherwise little more than the average Babak on their own. Though both have similar traits individually, together and usually with the crazed one of the two on top, make for a larger threat and a more abled foe.

However, the spinning attack of the Lurker disorients the creature long enough for an athletic hero to take advantage of their one glaring weakness; the wooden cage is not reinforced nor spiked.

The Ogre is but a mutated Thrall that are turned into mobile siege engines through unknown, arcane means though many Warlocks suspect that it is due to a macabre mating ritual. Once these “Unborn” Ogres are “Reborn” through a rebirthing ritual, they are granted great physical strength, endurance, intelligence, and arcane abilities to fulfill their role as either previously mentioned mobile siege engines or as ritual sacrifice. However, these rituals have wrecked terrible pain and agony upon their bodies to such a degree that they have, on occasion, broken the control of their creators.
