Demons

All magic comes from the void realm, a nightmare plane where all demons come from.

Vault weavers are unnatural beings from the void. They are perfectly round balls of faint white light that float around, looking for corpses to consume. A weaver in this state is hungry and will attack anything nearby unless there's a corpse for it to feed upon. It prefers fresh corpses, so it will try injure and capture its victims for eating one by one when it's hungry.

When a red weaver dies it will explode, launching all the corpses it ate all over the place. May cause 1 wound to anyone nearby. The corpses are usually a bit shrunken and dried up. The dead vigil can't set in on a corpse while inside the weaver. While in this state the weaver usually will not attack unless provoked.

The Child-Stealers

The terror of the villagers in the Blacksalt island. They often kidnap babies in the night, turning them into goblins or worse. When angered they will raid villages - kidnapping, killing and eating people. They are also called the forest folk, goblinfolk or just goblins in general.

They are usually smaller than humans, with white skin covered in bumps and red spots, pointy ears and sparse hair. They have huge mouths with way too many pointy teeth.

They can't speak properly. Their mouths are too wide and have no proper lips. They also lack social intelligence, but will understand what people are saying and they can say a few broken words. They don't talk to each other much, at least not with words, but will secrete pheromones similar to ants. They are mostly guided by their instinct to create more goblins and gremlins from human children and to eat meat, including human meat. They do trade with each other, though, using human teeth as currency.

Goblin nests are rare and extremely well hidden, but tales are told of them. With their rituals they will turn each human into 6 or even more goblins - with livestock they can make at least 8 gremlins. Every goblin nest has at least one goblin matriarch, a special shaman that releases the spores that turn humans and animals into goblins.

Child-stealers will roam in the night since they can see in the dark. They avoid sun light but it won't hurt them.

Most of them worship Igra, the god of the woods but a few will workship Goshkalon, the god of laughter. They are not evil, but guided by the instinct to reproduce their kind, and the only way to do it is with human children.

Gremlins are made from captured livestock, like cows or horses. They have wide mouths and are strangely attracted by machinery and will often eat machine parts, which is actually very unhealthy for them. If they manage to eat fresh human meat, they will turn into a bugbear

Boggart is a gremlin that lived for a few years, growing in size. They become furry and animalistic creatures with huge eyes. When a gremlin turns in to a boggart it can no longer turn into a bugbear.

A big goblin with a sack on his back and a big pole with a hook. The sack contains meat for the matriarch and sometimes living captured people or animals.

A feral gremlin that ate fresh human meat, oversized and always hungry. Bugbears are so unstable that even the goblins don't like to have them around and will avoid letting gremlins near human meat.

A very old goblin shaman that has a special fungus growing on her back. Goblins will immobilize their victims and for weeks will force them to breath the spores and eat the fungus, turning them into goblins and gremlins. Goblins never mourn or feel sad about the death of other goblins, except for the death of a matriarch.

No one knows how a goblin matriarch is made.

Dungeon Scavengers

The dungeon ruins have corpses and rotting things all around. While humans avoid those places, they might just be what some creatures are looking for.

Shore Creatures

Blacksalt isle shores are full of terrible creatures. Some end up venturing deeper into the land and taking refuge in abandoned ruins.

A big lizard, looks like a fat toothless alligator. Since it's toothless, it swallow its victims whole, using its immense jaw to crush bones with ease.

Not originally from Blacksalt, they brought by travellers from the Golden Ridge, and a few got loose and quickly reproduced, disrupting the ecosystem. They seem to hate humans and will attack on sight, but don't seem to mind the goblinfolk. Goblins quickly took notice of this fact, domesticating and using them as guard lizards.

The Undead

Once human bodies now brought back through the dead vigil.

Ghosts

The dead vigil affects even those that have no corpse left.
