4. Monsters
The monsters of Telengard are many and varied. All monsters, like the characters who
trespass for their hides, have experience level ratings. Like a character's rating,
the higher the number the more powerful it is. There are two very distinct types of
monsters in Telengard: Undead and Living.
Undead monsters are vile creatures that have managed to live past their appointed hour
of death due to some foul curse. They have no heartbeat, no breath; they do not sleep
and cannot usually be charmed. You will no doubt find that they have not lost their
appetite however! Undead monsters have a (U) after their name in the monster listings.
Living monsters are normal creatures that eat, sleep, drink and dance upon dead warriors'
bodies. Living monsters have a (L) after their name in the monster listings.
1) Gnoll (L)
A sawed-off freak, not too tough but nasty nonetheless. Lowlife of the dungeon.
2) Kobold (L)
A close relative of the Gnoll, fond of pricking unwary adventurers with their
cranial horn. Like a Gnoll they like to hamstring you and slit your throat
3) Skeleton (U)
Your basic rampaging bag of bones. No brains but will attack relentlessly until
vanquished.
4) Hobbit (L)
Not the nice type you're used to, this nimble little creature is definitely not
to be trusted. He'd sooner make off with a magical item than have a confrontation.
5) Zombie (U)
A newly-risen corpse, slightly cannier than a skeleton only because it's not
completely rotted out.
6) Orc (L)
Sly, foul-smelling and not too nice. Orcs have taken a liking to munching on
unwary travellers.
7) Fighter (L)
A competent mercenary out to make his fortune by dispatching you as quickly as
possible and stealing your gold and valuables.
8) Mummy (U)
A bandage-wrapped monster fresh from the crypt. More deadly than a zombie due to
its more preserved state.
9) Elf (L)
A nimble and cunning threat. Elves fight well when forced to and are skilled at
thieving as well.
10) Ghoul (U)
A creature with a rather tainted reputation for feasting upon corpses and robbing
graves for meat. Beware - its touch can paralyze!
11) Dwarf (L)
A brawny, tunnel-dwelling creature that feels right at home in TELENGARD. Skilled
at using an axe to lop off heads; also known to pick pockets.
12) Troll (L)
A nine-foot tall, loathsome man-eating brute you'd do best avoid altogether.
13) Wraith (U)
The undead spirit of a dead warrior out for revenge. Wraiths have been known to take
away Experience Points, draining a character's level.
14) Ogre (L)
A stocky, ill-tempered eight-foot hairy cousin of the giant. A vicious opponent that
never gives mercy.
15) Minotaur (L)
An ugly result of cross-breeding between an Ogre and a large bull. Their breath alone
can kill small dogs and feeble adventurers.
16) Giant (L)
A grotesquely overgrown humanoid. Fond of fighting with a club or small tree. The
Giants of TELENGARD are no pushover.
17) Specter (U)
Spirit of an ancient warrior king long dead. Like a Wraith, the Specter can drain a
character's Experience Level. Beware!
18) Vampire (U)
The most hideous and distasteful of the "Undead". It's touch can paralyze and its bite
can drain a character's blood as well as his Level.
19) Demon (L)
A foul beast summoned from the nether plains. Demons are armed with a deadly whip and a
flaming sword. The sword's dangerous, but the whip's worse!
20) Dragon (L)
King of the nasties. Dragons like to barbeque young warriors with a small gust of their
disagreeable breath. A good beginner's tip is "Never fight a Dragon!"
