The Blue Arimaa are the favoured sons of Eris. Once mere blue meanies,
these elite troops were evolved by Eris to form the core of the
Trickster
Sorceress' rebellious faction. The fact that they have enslaved their
former
masters, the Red Arimaa, is the basest affront to the once mighty Ghoul
Realm's retinue.
Hardly
the peaceful woodland spirits of myth, these plant-based automatons
emit
an eerie phosphorescent glow and a sinister smile, all the while
splintering
apart to crush approaching enemies.

FUNGUS:
Denizens
of
deep, dank crevices, this fungus of note resembles. in mannerism, the
infamous
Mantrap of earlier jaunts. They, like the Dryads, exude an eerie
phosphorescent
miasma.
GREMLIN:
Slightly airborne creatures with a penchant for throwing coals on top
of
the heads of unassuming passerby, they also enjoy harassing machines

all manner of man-made tools in particular.

OWL:
Found in the Barn among other places,
these

WRAITH:
Sadly, even the lost and weary souls buried deep
within
the Catacombs of Sir Arthur's realm have been called to duty by Eris.
They
are among the deadliest, having been buried in full honor. Some even
carry
talismans of protection that have now been made to be vile in the hands
of Eris' one-eyed whims.
Much taller and
foreboding
than their previous manifestations, and harder to, er, kill? When
threatened, Zombies pop their eyes out, or headbutt their victims to
knock
them unconscious. They persist until completely dismembered...
Jumping
about,
fangs beared and spiny chitin exposed, these huge spiders romp about,
spin
webs around the protagonist, or simply set quick traps ahead of the
player
to get stuck in while they prowl and warn each other. There are many
varieties
found in the Bone Yard.

Scarecrow:
The negative

out to destroy the entire realm have made animate certain effigies

to drive away unwanted animals. These scarecrows are truly frightening,
however, to all mortal beings.
