Creature
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 wealth used by many players. Conversely, creatures are also the primary cause of death, and a likely significant drain for silvers for the purchase of armor, shields, and weapons.
