Wilderness Monstrosities

Short description:

Adds a small chance for a huge monster to appear in wilderness areas.

Long description:

Far from civilization you can sometimes come across a monster which most people upon seeing it would tactically retreat from as fast as possible.

Maybe you're the type who likes living on the edge and never wastes a good opportunity to test your combat skills. If so this mod will do you good.

This mod adds 13 monsters all with new abilities and loot. You will start seeing them from level 10 in wilderness areas.

Two of them are not re-textured since I already like the look of them when just scaled up.

Take a look at the uploaded screenshots.

These monsters are meant to be a rare occurrence to the traveling adventurer and they pose you with a choice: Do you dare to fight this monster for the thrill or would it be better to avoid it. Often times when your character becomes strong at higher level you might not even consider this choice since you can handily defeat any foe who crosses your path. I'm hoping with this mod that the choice becomes something to consider rather than slay first and ask questions later.

Some of the monsters have unique loot which collectors in the major cities would pay you handsomely for. However first and foremost these encounters are about the epic fights themselves. You will not get rich fighting these monster although they all have decent loot.

Known information on the 13 monsters:

Putrid Savage Troll

A veteran band of adventurers reported defeating one of these trolls in a Valus Mountain pass. They said it fought with abundant savagery tearing limbs from several of the party members. Its wounds would start closing almost as soon as they were opened and the green blood spray from the creature felt like acid on the skin, but the worst part was the rank stench coming from the creature. Everyone felt sick to their stomach and it affected them both physically and mentally which made the fight that much harder.

Ancient Dreugh

This creature is similar to the more common Land Dreugh except that it is much larger and its magical attack is stronger.

Minotaur Warlord

The leader of a war campaign in some minotaur communities is called a Warlord and these massive minotaurs are some of the finest warriors and often live a more secluded existence later in their life. If you see one of them best turn the other way.

Transcendent Minotaur

Stories are told of a huge white minotaur who has achieved some state of insight and wisdom and uses ritualistic magic, but no one in living memory has yet to meet one
