Snow Ettins: Snow Ettins are said to be distant relatives of Snow Giants,
but they were exiled from the clan of Snow Giants because of their
disfigured appearance. They are born with two heads; as a result, their
temperament is even odder than that of the Snow Giants, and their attacks
are oftentimes extremely erratic. They are formidable opponents. The giant
hammers Snow Ettins wield are deadly weapons; fighters should be weary
of the immense damage they can do at longer range.
Demonic Emperor Jo: Demonic Emperor Jo is the avatar of Emperor Jo in
the Demonic Realm. It is said that he has a green face, four arms, and looks
like the god of destruction. However, these are only rumors, for no one has
ever actually seen Demonic Emperor Jo. No one knows how powerful
Demonic Emperor Jo really is, so information about him is somewhat vague
and must be taken with a pinch of salt.
Doppelgangers: Doppelgangers are elite troops in the Demon Realm; they
usually possess powerful psychic energies; when one gets close to an
enemy, it can read the opponent’s mind, and use the knowledge gained
thusly to its advantage. The most terrifying thing about Doppelgangers is
that the stronger their opponents’ are, the stronger they become, and to
make matters worse they can shape-shift at any given time. When facing
Doppelgangers, there is little else to be done aside from staying on guard.
If you encounter two or more Doppelgangers, the best thing to do is run.
Wandering Spirits: Wondering Spirits are the most common creatures of
the underworld. They are usually spiritual entities that have not been
reincarnated, so they wander the underworld aimlessly. Wandering Spirits
used to never attack on their own, but since armies of the Demon Realm
recruited them, Wondering Spirits have become low-grade expendable
troops used to overwhelm the enemy. Aside from overwhelming numbers,
Wandering Spirits do not possess any special abilities.
War Elephants: Legend says "Elephant" is a younger brother of Emperor
Shuen, from the same father but a different mother. Elephant’s nature was
devious and violent, so he was exiled to the "You Bi" region. Ancient clans
possessed supernatural powers; War Elephants’ and Bear Kings’ appearance
in the modern world are both inexplicable phenomena. War Elephants remain
as devious and violent as ever, and their attacks are just as unpredictable;
because War Elephants have tough hides and dense flesh, common weaponry
cannot damage it at all, so they are especially frightening!
