A creature, critter, or monster is a hostile entity in the world of Gemstone. Hunting creatures is one of the primary mechanisms of gaining experience and treasure. Creatures are categorized here by living or undead, body type, level, and additional subcategories. For the creatures local to each area, see the hunting areas category.

Creature Types

  • Living Creatures are creatures that are considered alive, and if not anti-mana in nature, can be affected by spells that may cause them to bleed. They do not require a blessed weapon or ammo to be hunted via melee or ranged attacks.
  • Undead Creatures are creatures that are not alive but can still move and attack. They require a blessed weapon or ammo to be hunted via melee or ranged attacks. These can be hunted to gain favor in the Order of Voln.

Creature Body Types

  • Arachnids are similiar in body type to quadrupeds, but do not have a neck or chest.
  • Avian creatures are birds or bird-like creatures. Typical characteristics of avians are wings, feathers and beaks.
  • Biped creatures are a creature that typically walks on two legs (or limbs, as lesser and greater faeroth walk on their arms).

  • Elemental creatures are formless creatures, with no tangeable body parts to target, that are constructed from any element, including air, water (or ice), fire (or lava), earth, and lightning.
  • Globoid creatures are similar to elemental in that they are formless, however they are not specifically constructed of any particular element.
  • Hybrid creatures are usually a combination of two or more creatures. They can be either bipedal or quadrapedal.
  • Insect creatures are characterized by having three pairs of legs, a segmented body with a well-defined head, thorax and abdomen, and are often winged.
