Ice and Fire Creatures

Besides its dragons and the monsters that Act II's quests ask for, Ice and Fire fills the Overworld with smaller beasts. None of them is a quest target, but their drops make Ice and Fire armor and tools: Death Worm chitin, Myrmex chitin and resin, and Stymphalian Bird feathers.

Spawning#

Mob Where Notes
Death Worm Hot, dry, sandy biomes that aren’t badlands Weight 30; comes in red, tan and white, and in giant sizes

Behavior#

  • Death Worms burrow through sand and attack players and other mobs.
  • Stymphalian Birds attack players from the air and shoot bronze feathers.
  • Amphitheres only fight back when hurt.
  • Myrmex Soldiers and Sentinels defend their hive and attack intruders; Workers gather for the colony.

Stats#

None of them has a level setting, so their level matches the Soulrend level of the nearest player (see Mob Levels). The table gives health / attack damage / armor.
