The Bestiary
A collection of all known common beasts within the labyrinths of Helios. Detailed information about their abilities, locations and material drops can be found here. All beasts are ordered in alphabetical order. (All art assets used is credited to the original artist.)
Arc Fiend:
Description: Arc Fiends are rare, dangerous monsters that linger in the lower regions of Lillium Labyrinths. They are roughly 7 feet tall when slouching in their visible form, though their height shifts based on need of form. When lying in wait or idle, Arc Fiends aren’t visible to the naked eye, masking their lightning energy and looking like a pile of rocks, metal, and other debris on the floor. When they detect something or are attacked, the sound of thunder can be heard as they form into vision, a twisting, malevolent storm of electrified metal and debris. The true danger of arc fiends lie in their sentience and cunning. They are deceptive, evasive, laying themselves as traps so when an unsuspecting victim is aware of their presence, it is usually too late.
Beast Abilities:
- Shock and Awe - Arc Fiends attacks are incredibly potent and devastating. A concentrated jolt can throw it’s victim back forcefully and even paralyze them if they aren’t grounded or have taken sustained hits.
- Fiendish Guile - Arc Fiends are known to have very good situational awareness and show an impressive amount of intelligence, making it an elusive and deadly target to liberators without proper planning and equipment to trap an Arc Fiend.

Beast Abilities:
- Venomous - Grand Dragons have built a resistance to poison and well as using it in their bites due to their preferred diet of venomous snakes, toxic bugs, and mushrooms. The venom doesn’t kill the prey, instead causing the victim to become drowsy, sluggish, and rigid in movement.

Beast Species: Isonade
Description: Found in underwater Labyrinths, the Isonade is often mistaken for large mossy rocks until it starts to hunt. Despite having four eyes, the Isonade has weak eyesight and relies heavily on its sense of smell. Making up for its lack of speed with its monstrous size, the Isonade swims through the waters with an open mouth of sharp teeth and a secondary mouth to continuously grind its prey. It lets out a horrendous wail underwater when it hunts. Many a unfortunate adventurer have ventured into its mouth, mistaking it for a cave before they are eaten.
Beast Abilities:
- Keen Sense of Smell - The beast is not often roused by much, but flesh blood in the water; even the tiniest drop, is enough to alert its senses. Once it has scented a prey, it rarely ever lets up, chasing them for as far is possible.

Over time, however, whatever goodwill they had towards travellers turned into a malignant jealousy for they, themselves, could never leave the labyrinth. Unless, they had another vessel to escape through. These haunted suits of metal now litter the labyrinths, either sitting as piles of armour waiting for someone to try them on or wandering and waiting to force people into their suits. Those who do try on these armoured sets are then consumed by the suit itself and take the place of the warrior’s soul, doomed to wander until the next soul.
Beast Abilities:
- Metal Manipulation - The Jin’ Shu is able to manipulate pieces of its own metal body, turning them into spikes or sending them out as projectiles. It often tries to send out pieces of its body to cover their victims or force them into the suit.

Beast Species: Lenga
Description: Lenga is a beast that graces labyrinths at seemingly random. Standing at a meager 1.8 metres, they resemble a naked human but possess six wings and horns. They wander aimlessly, no goal in mind. Perhaps they are looking for something, or perhaps they are somehow being guided. Nothing is known about this beast. Some theorize it is actually an angel hunting sinners. However, it is known for certain that they possess an immense amount of power.

Exp Dropped: 50EXP
Lightning Hound:
Beast Species:: Lightning Hound
Description:: Fulgus Canis, more commonly referred to as Lightning Hounds, are a natural phenomenon of nature and Ethos. It is unknown what causes the lightning ethos to take this form, whether the creature is sentient or not, and what purpose they serve. A common dispute is whether or not it should hold classification as a hound due to it’s birdlike head, though most agree in the hound classification due to an apparent pack mentality and general body structure. Lightning hounds are skittish in younger ages and in low numbers, but when accompanied by an Alpha, which can grow to be as tall as a human when standing on their hind legs and are incredibly territorial, it is recommended to flee if there is a pack. When a lightning hound “dies”, the lightning ethos around it simply disperses and what happens to it, a mystery unsolved.
Beast Abilities:
- Pack Hunters - When an Alpha is present or a pack of five hounds forms, smaller Lightning hounds will become more aggressive, even against larger prey. Taking out the alpha will in turn demoralize and scatter it’s pack, as well as a pack with no clear alpha see their kin die.
- Lightning Bodies - Lightning hounds are immune to lightning ethos, instead gaining strength and seemingly using it as a source of energy, like a human eats food. Inversely, Earth ethos is extremely harming to the Hound’s body, even mud pits are capable of devastating a hound should it be trapped in one. Physical contact with a Lightning hound goes as one would expect.

Magma Tunneler:
Beast Species: Magma Tunneler
Description: In the depths Labyrinths of Hiraa’s Desert live a species of massive, volcanic, worm-like creatures that inhabit the inner earth. Their body is a construct of flesh that is as hard as igneous rocks, having melted, reformed, hardened in a cycle for most of its life. This body constantly leaks magma that helps it tunnel through the desert and mantle of the planet as well as attack its prey. Their 100 meter long bodies require a massive amount of energy to sustain, and they will gladly eat whatever they can find, but they must first be alerted by movement. If a great enough noise or constant movement is made in their habitat, they will soon lock on to that area and once they know food has arrived, they will make a bee-line towards the area and attack relentlessly, using it’s eyesight to confirm the presence of its meal.
Beast Abilities:
- Tremors: The Magma Tunnelers imminent arrival can be felt in the ground, as the ground will shake progressively harder until the Magma Tunneler breaks the surface in its attack, hoping to swallow its prey whole. These tremors can be fierce enough to stagger people and other smaller lifeforms.
- Magma body: Physical contact with a Magma Tunneler is extremely dangerous, whether with it’s high speed and crushing bite or it’s molten skin and the magma it produces. It has been noted that water can extinguish their skin and even be lethal if a Magma Tunneler finds itself in a large enough body of water.

Rou' Qiang/Bao' Bei:
Beast Species: Rou’ Qiang/Bao’ Bei
Description: Rou’ Qiang often resides in the deepest parts of the darkest labyrinths. Attached to the dungeon walls, it is nothing more than a pulsating wall of flesh with a toothless mouth at its centre. Characterized by its loud infant like cries, Rou Qiang is a beast cursed with relentless hunger, but is completely immobile and unable to physically attack. Furthermore, its flesh is soft and easily pierced, rendering it vulnerable to even small worms and maggots.
Where the cries of the Rou’ Qiang are heard, Bao’ Bei is never far behind. A creature made of the rotting flesh and insides from other labyrinth beasts, it has several spindly hooked limbs which it uses to silently scale the walls and ceilings. It is the fierce guardian of the Rou’ Qiang, often found cleaning, feeding and protecting it from any outside intruders. Its claws are sharp enough to slice through the flesh of its prey which is uses partly to feed to Rou’ Qiang and replace the parts of it that fall off due to its constant rot.

Beast Abilities:
- Darkness Manipulation - Despite being completely immobile, Rou Qiang is able to manipulate the darkness around it to blind a threat and allow Bao Bei to pick them off. Normal torches and flashlights are rendered almost completely useless, though Rou Qiang will continue to cry to try and confuse any intruders.
- Silent Stalker - Bao Bai is able to move silently and swiftly across the walls of flesh to snatch up its prey through the darkness. It is only characterised by the squelching sound of its fleshy limbs when it descends upon its prey, though it is often too late by then.
