Mowzie's Mobs

(FER-us RAWT-nawt)
Lost underground many years ago, these heavily armored knights are not men nor are they statues. Are they guarding something? They have forgotten what. Are they waiting for something? They have forgotten when. Are they mourning someone? They have forgotten whom. All they know is to slay those who approach their chambers. There is only one way to damage a Ferrous Wroughtnaut; its weakness is for you to discover.

Only the bravest of adventurers would dare to challenge a Ferrous Wroughtnaut. Upon defeat, the Wroughtnaut will drop its Wrought Helm and its Axe of a Thousand Metals for the victor. Right clicking with the axe attacks in a large arc, and shift-right clicking will create a shockwave that brings targets closer to you. Neither tool can break.

(FROST-mah)

Frostmaws are dangerous beasts found rarely in snowy areas. Their massive size, impressive speed, and powerful ice breath make them near-impossible opponents. If, on your travels, you encounter one sleeping in your path, it's likely best to take a different route and let it lay. The beast guards a precious ice crystal that can unleash pure winter energy when wielded.

(GRAH-tohl)

These adorable crystal crustaceans live deep underground in caves and ravines. Sometimes called “living ore,” Grottols are prized as a rare source of diamonds. But only the quickest of adventurers can manage to catch them before they burrow away; grottols are very fast and surprisingly clever, even using minecarts to escape pursuers. Keep in mind that only iron or stronger pickaxes can penetrate their diamond shells.

(LAN-turn)

Lanterns dot the canopy of roofed forests, glowing like jellyfish. Some cultures believe that these creatures contain the souls of the recently deceased. Others wish on them like stars. Adventurers, however, know that the luminous jelly inside lanterns is a great light snack that will briefly illuminate the darkest of nights.

(NAH-guh)

Coastal cliffs are dangerous places. Adventurers tell of winged serpents called nagas with impressive speed and menacing acid venom. Though these drakes are evasive, a well-placed arrow can knock a naga right out of the sky; time your shots to hit when the naga is preparing an attack, and you can defeat it with ease.

Naga acid is deadly, but can actually be used to neutralize other poisons. The fangs they drop upon death can be used to brew poison antidotes and preventatives.

Abavuthana are the scourge of the savanna. These bird-like creatures scorch the ground they walk on and hunt animals with little restraint. They are one with the masks suspended in front of their glowing heads. In combat, Abavuthana take turns use their claws to slash at foes. Each hunting pack is led by an Umvuthana Raptor, which has extra long talons it uses to block attacks. Abavuthana make traversing the savanna quite dangerous, as they can surround their prey quickly and put up a good chase. When defeated, Abavuthana will sometimes drop their masks as items that the player can wear. Each mask bestows a different, small buff.

(oom-VOO-thee)

Umvuthi is the creator of the Abavuthana, residing in a stationary seat upon a throne in savanna groves. He draws his power from the sun, calling forth sunstrikes, solar flares, and massive solar beams. He can also create Umvuthana followers - including healers called Umvuthana Cranes - from masks to defend him during combat. As such, his masked children revere him as a god. Unequipped travelers should keep their distance from his grove, lest they be smitten by his heliomancy.

Those strong enough to face and defeat him, however, are rewarded with his mask: the Sol Visage. This mask allows its wearers to breathe life into masks to create Umvuthana followers. Unfortunately, the mask does not bestow heliomancy upon its bearer; this power is innately carried by Umvuthi, and thus dies with him. Perhaps there is another way...?

(TOHNG-bee)

Long ago, the Earthrend Monks led the world in the study of earth magic. They used their powerful geomancy to shape mountains and cliffs into monasteries - bastions of education in prayer and self-defense. But those days have passed. The monasteries stand today abandoned and dilapidated. Elemental monsters called Bluffs flood the halls, drawn to the magic left behind.

Only one monk remains: Tongbi, the Sculptor. A master of geomancy, Tongbi waits in the monastery’s courtyard, challenging visitors to a parkour test. Never before has a disciple reached the top of this arduous climb, but the one who does will be worthy of the power of the Earthrend Monks. The Sculptor will grant them a powerful artifact called the Earthrend Gauntlet, which gives its wielder control over earth magic.

Like Blazes and Breezes, Bluffs are elemental magic given form. They are drawn to places of immense elemental power, and so they infested the Earthrend Monasteries after the monks disappeared.

They drop Bluff Rods on death, which are used to repair Geomancy items and to start the Sculptor's test.
