Does it hide underground? Does it hop around as it moves? Does it have a mysterious blue pouch that’s bigger than its body? Yes? Then you’re most likely facing a Jetrunner.
This little monster is very aggressive. It has evolved to survive in the meanest parts of the Badlands. Don't stand too close to ferrox geysers, a Jetrunner may emerge and pierce right through you...

Noble and graceful creatures, the Klereks guard the entrance to the Athenaeum for reasons unknown to anyone still alive.
Like every monster in Ilios, they are dangerous and have unique attacks. By channeling the ambient light with the orb above their head, they can form and shoot projectiles on any trespassers 🔆

If you spot toxic smoke clouds while exploring the Athenaeum, there is probably a Skrasos skittering about. These monsters expel deadly smoke from their bodies to defend the library while keeping the records intact.
Nothing on Ilios resembles it. Some even think they were created from scratch, but nobody on Ilios has the power to create such beings…

Born blind and deaf, the Muttlers use their horns as a navigation aid. Once they find ground soft enough, they quickly shovel around with their horns to dig through obstacles.
Their fur is very sensitive and alerts them of any vibrations felt in the air. They live around dirt and sand to prevent surprise attacks.

Looking to BIOMORPH yourself into a monster that allows you to get through some dangerous spots? Like a bunch of spikes for example? Then look no further than the Scarbyttle 👽
Their body can produce very hot air. They use this to defend themselves, but they are also light enough use it to hover above treacherous grounds. This is the female to the Fubirang.

Fubirang is the male to the Scarbyttle. They can move nimbly while standing on their hind legs. But be careful! As soon as it senses danger, the Fubirang will throw a bone from its thorax. This bone spins rapidly and acts like a boomerang.
