Rare named creatures
Rare creatures roam the lands from level 25 to level 96. Each is tougher and larger than an elite and gives more experience.
| Creature | Level | Land | Area | About |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brindle Tusk | 25 | The Saltreach | The Dune Heath | A great striped boar of the Dune Heath that has thrown three Kelp Strand hunters into the gorse and kept their spears. |
| Captain Coyle the Drowned | 30 | The Saltreach | The Drowned Shingle | The master of the first ship the wreckers ever lured in. He walks the Shingle on cold tides, asking every sailor whether they saw the light too. |
| Nettle-Nose | 38 | The Greyfell Pinewood | Boggart Ridge | A boggart who steals spoons. Nobody knows why. He has a great many of them and will fight for every one. |
| The Grey Huntsman | 43 | The Greyfell Pinewood | The Fellwarden's Way | The first of the Fellwardens to go hollow. On still nights the lodge hears a horn on the Fellwarden's Way, and Garrick bars the door. |
| The Lantern-Jack | 43 | The Wending Marches | The Sallow Mire | A wisp the size of a man's head that walks the Sallow Mire at night with a lantern's gait. Fernmarch children are told never to follow a light that sways. |
| Glimmer-Gob | 46 | The Drowned Fens | The Black Pools | A greedy wisp that drinks the light of other wisps. The Black Pools go dark for a night after it feeds. |
| Brother Silt | 52 | The Drowned Fens | The Abbey Shore | The abbey's last cellarer, who would not leave his barrels when the water came. He still keeps the hours on the Abbey Shore. |
| Thistledown | 55 | Hartwood | The Sprite Dells | A sprite who crowned herself queen of the Dells and demands a song from every traveller. The songs are the easy part. |
| The Changeling | 61 | Hartwood | The Hollow Hill | A glamour that wears the face of whoever it last saw. Ardcarrow mothers check their children twice at bedtime. |
| The Old Selkie | 66 | The Grey Isles | The Merrow Shallows | A grey seal that comes ashore in the Merrow Shallows by moonlight and stands up. The merrow will not speak of her. |
| Stormcrow | 71 | The Grey Isles | The Storm Cliffs | An eagle that rides the squalls over the Storm Cliffs. The keeper of the light swears it brings the weather with it. |
| The Lamplighter | 77 | The Ironhold Glens | The Mine Road | A delver who went down to light the deep seams and came back up wrong. His lamp still burns, and it burns blue. |
| Cú Dubh, Fergus's Hound | 82 | The Ironhold Glens | Dun Fergus | The war-hound of Dun Fergus, bred for the old wars and never told they ended. It patrols the fort road alone. |
| Old Mossback | 83 | The Wending Marches | The Cairnlands | A stone hound so old the moss has grown into its joints. It sleeps through the night and hunts in the warm hours, slow and patient as a glacier. |
| The Snow-Mother | 84 | The Frostmere | The Frozen Mere | A great rime wisp that drifts over the Frozen Mere on the longest nights. Where she passes, the ice sings. |
| The Glass Knight | 91 | The Frostmere | The Court Ice | A knight of the Frozen Court whose armour has turned wholly to clear ice. You can see his heart beating inside it, very slowly. |
| Cinderjaw | 94 | The Ashen Fells | The Ashen Slopes | A cinder hound whose jaw is a split of molten rock. The watch at Emberwatch counts the scorch marks on the slopes to know where it ran. |
| The Ash Widow | 96 | The Ashen Fells | The Broken Fields | A reaver who lost her holding to the Heartstone fire and walks the Broken Fields at night, looking for it in the ash. |
