The Malevir (pl. Malevirs) is a forest monster with the upper body of a near-human and the lower body of a monstrous snake. Malevirs have twelve long arms for grabbing their prey, spread evenly along the seven meter torso, with long claws at the end for tearing apart meat, and their mouths have six rows of teeth for further grinding their food. Malevirs have hair that reaches from the top of its head to the point of fusion with the snake part. The lower half of the body is covered in scales that protrude hooked, poisonous spikes. This eleven meter long snake tail ends in a poisonous scorpion barb. Malevirs are few and far between, and only three or four Malevirs are ever seen in the same forest. Malevir hunt large creatures, sometimes even preying upon even centaurs and minotaurs. Looking into the eyes of a Malevir shows you your greatest fear, and making eye contact for more than ten seconds can be fatal, as the fear slows you and your perception of the world is altered. Malevirs are very territorial, and will fight other Malevirs or similarly-powerful creatures if they encroach on their territory. Despite this, it is theorized that the Malevirs have a queen, since there only seem to be male Malevirs and Malevir eggs. Malevir skin is extremely durable, and their scales even more so. Their weak point seems to be their eyes, if you shoot that they are weakened and disoriented. Additionally, if you get them to ingest poison that is not natural Malevir toxins, they can die.

The Sicarius (pl. Sicarii) is the transformed soul of a murderer who has pledged allegiance to a demon, in life or in death, and who had been killed by another murderer. Sicarii appear as tall humans, usually eight to twelve feet tall, with bat wings and a head that is a cross between a goat and a ram, without hair or skin. This appearance brands them as an evil, twisted manifestation of an irredeemable soul, and places a target on their heads. Sicarii have the power to breath a deadly fusion of poisonous gas and fire, and they give off an aura that prevents shapeshifters and werecreatures from shifting and induces fear in the most courageous of humans, making them easy prey, however these powers are stripped away when the Sicarius goes near a person who has devoted their life to making the world a better place and has done enough good deeds to outweigh the Sicarius's bad deeds in life. As punishment for their sins, Sicarii are doomed to walk the earth on which they died, being hunted for eternity by vigilantes, monster hunters, and other heroes. Sicarii still manage to serve their demon in a variety of ways, but they mostly use their powers to hunt down and kill any bad person that has managed to piss off the Sicarius's master. Once a Sicarius is killed again, they are tortured eternally by the very demon they served in their afterlife, an insult to everything the Sicarius stood for.

The Tempestan (pl. Tempestans) is a lightning spirit manifested as a baboon with blue eyes and a blue face instead of red. Tempestans are made when a baboon is struck by lightning. Tempestans have the power to fly during storms and redirect electric energy. They are the ones that decide where lightning strikes, and they can also shoot electricity out of their paws if they wish to, even if there isn't a storm. When submerged in water, they cannot use their powers, since the lightning would shock them, too, and any attempt to redirect the energy once more would just result in it rebounding again and again in an infinite loop until they die from lack of oxygen.

The Slapuka (pl. Slapukas) is a worm-like creature with four eyes and an exoskeleton as hard as diamonds. It is a naturally occurring beast, lurking in swamps and dense forests. Its head and two legs are reminiscent of the front half of a horse, including a black mane. Slapukas have the strength to knock down entire trees. Due to their large size, they are ambush hunters, and often encircle large prey to prevent escape. Slapukas are typically around fifty meters long, and they are capable of swallowing a human whole. Its hide is not impenetrable, but it is a highly perceptive creature and couples this with hiding in order to keep itself safe from potential monster hunters.
