Chthonian Boots: Boots that imbue the wearer with reptilian speed, and beastly might with pounces and slides.

– ItemDesc/PR_Boots_of_the_Cthonians

Tomorrow's Requiem: A longsword favored by both Saurians and Chthonians.

– ItemDesc/PR_Lizardman_Toothed_Sword

Proper identification of the Lizard Men tribes can save your life. The Saurians of Marcaul are your allies. The Chthonians — who sport glowing armor and follow Typhon — are not.

– Load Screen – LoadScreenTips/tip30

Do not confuse The Chthonian's brutal nature with a lack of sophistication. Even their rough-hewn weapons possess a lethal efficiency. THE DEEP ELVES admire this quality. They seek examples of the Lizard Men's arms. Retrieve for them a [GatherItem] from TITAN'S REACH.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Fort2_Gather_002

THE SHAMBLERS wonder which tribe of Lizard Men is best equipped. They wish to study a weapon of Chthonian make. It just so happens you can find a [GatherItem] in TITAN'S REACH. Retrieve it for The Hivemind to they might compare it to Saurian craftsmanship.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Fort2_Gather_007

Rumor spreads of a rare Chthonian weapon, a [GatherItem], lost in the depths of TITAN'S REACH. Seek this blunt instrument but do not grow overfond of it. THE EXPEDITION needs it for some purpose upon their return. Maintaining favor with the Dwarves trumps your own needs in these dark days.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Fort2_Gather_008

Purge the scouting party of CHTHONIANS: Not all of the Lizardfolk are our allies... THE CHTHONIANS are an aggressive tribe, notably distinct from The Saurians by their glowing armor. They support Typhon's rise. Only the gods understand why... Though they are of The Lower Dark, a scouting party has been spotted in THE UNDERSWAMP. The Factions request that they be dealt with.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Swamp1_Expel_003

Another ABYSSAL KEY is known to us... The Saurians have shared it, sensing our need. The seventh key lies buried with The Saurian dead… guarded by those who have turned from them, The Chthonians. You must brave the CYTHERION CATACOMBS. When the final key is obtained, then we have a chance of ending Typhon’s threat.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Volc1_Explore_001

THE SHAMBLERS report a Chthonian mace, a [GatherItem], in THE CYTHERON CATACOMBS. It is said to be extraordinary. The Hivemind seeks it for further study. The Shamblers wish to gauge whether The Chthonians have surpassed The Saurians in arms. Find the weapon. Wield it to aid your return.}

– Quest – QuestDescription/Volc1_Gather_003

Imprint a MEMORA of a Chthonian performing a special attack: THE DEEP ELVES respect skill and strength, even in their foes. THE CHTHONIANS are said to be among the fiercest warriors in The Underworld's deeper levels. Capture a MEMORA of these malignant lizards demonstrating one of their deadliest attacks. Surely the Elves will appreciate such an effort.

– Quest (cut) – QuestDescription/Volc1_Imprint_001 (cut quest)

Discerning Saurians from Cthonians is no chore if you know what to look for. Saurians have subtle markings on their snouts. Cthonians, meanwhile, try to dismember you.

– Aelita – VOSubtitles/vo_aelita_discerningsauriansfromcthonians

If you're unsure whether a Lizard Man is Saurian or Cthonian, heed this hint: Only Cthonians will try to dismember you.

The Chthonian's have a poetic saying: "Gnash the bones and slurp the marrow." ...I suppose it's more beautiful in its original Chthonian. (They lead rich inner lives...)

Those scaly Chthonian folks have as much to lose if Typhon rises, but you don't see them running around like it's the end of the world. Maybe they know something we don't.

The dead are my servants, broken to my will. The Chthonians choose to follow me.

– Typhon – VOSubtitles/vo_typhon_thedeadaremyservants

Cthonians are an aggressive tribe of Lizardmen from The Lower Dark, who have chosen to ally themselves with Typhon.

They are skilled in weapon and armor making, and martial moves, including the Chthonian Slide, a skill which the Ascendant can also learn, granting an Achievement on first use.

They wear glowing armor, wield clubs and toothed swords, and apparently, dislike the taste of Rotworm Fillets. Not enough that there's any ingame effect from the fillets, though.

Note From Hig Harkens: HH THEORY #19: THE DEEP SLUGS ARE STRANGE REMNANTS OF A CURSED GOD

– Hig Harkens (Graffiti) – Signage/slugs

The Underworld is a hard place to have a soft body. Even Deep Slugs, common fodder for Abyssal beasts, have a thick hide. Heed their example. Seek this stout body armor, Hide of Deep Slugs, and try it for a time. It awaits somewhere in THE UNDERSWAMP.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Swamp1_Gather_003

DEEP SLUGS dwell near the bottom of The Underworld's food chain. Yet the Dwarves of THE EXPEDITION value them for science rather than sustenance. They use Ripper Pome to lure slugs for study. Alas, supplies are limited in the Dwarves' exile. Recover the Ripper Pome in THE UNDERSWAMP.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Swamp1_Gather_008

Imprint a MEMORA of the trail of a Deep Slug producing smoke: Heavens help whichever faction attempts to suppress THE DEEP ELVES now that they've tasted freedom. They will resort to any offense to maintain their defense. Apparently, DEEP SLUGS emit a smoky trail after devouring NETHER CAP mushrooms. Capture a MEMORA of this behavior so the Elves can ponder its eventual tactical uses.

Clear THE DEEP SLUGS: UPPER EREBUS has become infested with DEEP SLUGS. The creatures are mostly harmless on their own. Yet they're an irresistible morsel for predators of the deep. Clear them out before they lure more dangerous creatures.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Swamp2_Expel_002

Retrieve three Ripper Pome off Rippers.: THE EXPEDITION's hard-won supply of Ripper Pome is dwindling. They're found on the boughs of Rippers, vicious mix of flora and fauna. The Dwarves use them to bait Deep Slugs, which leave a fiery trail upon consuming the Pomes. Find these items scattered across UPPER EREBUS.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Swamp2_Gather_004

Imprint a MEMORA of the trail of a Deep Slug set ablaze: THE DEEP ELVES make much from little. An admirable quality. They hear that DEEP SLUGS discharge a fiery trail after consuming RIPPER POMES. This behavior intrigues the Elves; they ponder its tactical uses upon their return to The Abyss. Capture a MEMORA of said flammable gastronomy for confirmation.

– Quest (cut) – QuestDescription/Swamp2_Imprint_003

Recover the MEMORA containing scientific observations of the Deep Slugs: THE EXPEDITION has little interest in observing Abyssal fauna from afar. Except when such observations improve their standing among rivals. A Dwarven sage once noted how Deep Slugs court through chemicals in their slime. The Shamblers do treasure this sort of repulsive erudition. Recover the MEMORA account to heighten Hivemind esteem of the Dwarves.

Ripper Pomes not a favorite of Rawstag's. But Deep Slugs eat them like candy. Then you might follow their fiery slime trails.

– Rawstag (cut voiceover) – VOSubtitles/vo_rawstag_ripperpomesnotafavorite

The Deep Slug is a versatile and non-aggressive denizen of the Abyss, more often food than predator.

It secretes a trail which has various properties, depending on what it has recently been eating or experiencing, a behavior that has been claimed by the Dwarves to be for courting purposes. Regardless of reason, this behavior can be tactically useful to the Ascendant.

When injured, the slug secretes an acidic trail that will harm those who walk onto it.
When eating its normal diet of Ripper Pomes, the slug's trail is highly flammable.
When eating certain other foods, including the Eyeless Nether Fish, Nether Cap, or Bounty of the Depths the slug's trail gives off a dark smoke that may be useful for concealment.

They have a thick hide which can be found crafted into leather armor which is resistant to toxins and fire. As their trails have these properties, it is likely they have the same resistances when alive.

Deep Slugs are the subject of three Steam/Achievements: Weaponized Slug (which is also a Feat, Friend of Deep Slugs, and "Secrets of the Deep Slugs"

Mind Crippler

Quotes:

Mind Cripplers are essentially giant floating brains, which may be at least conceptually related to the [UW:Gazers] from the original Underworlds. They attack with magic, including both Magic Fist and Confusion spells.

Ripper

Imprint a MEMORA of a Ripper attack.: RIPPERS will attack any soul clumsy enough to bumble loudly within their reach. The Dwarves of THE EXPEDITION fret over such things, despite their eviction from The Abyss. And why not? They sacrificed much to tame this place once. If they wish a MEMORA of the RIPPERS' aggression, you should seize the opportunity.

– Quest (cut) – QuestDescription/Swamp1_Imprint_002 (cut quest)

Expunge THE RIPPERS.: RIPPERS have taken root in UPPER EREBUS. Be glad this ill-tempered timber isn't mobile as in days of yore. Still, Rippers sow suffering with their flailing branches. Putting fire to wood is one solution, although The Shamblers despise flame and have no quarrel with Rippers. How you clear these trees is up to you.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Swamp2_Gather_004

THE EXPEDITION and DEEP ELVES once stood on opposite riverbanks in The Lower Dark, rattling sabers. The Disenthralled claimed they liberated the river from a forest of Rippers. The Dwarves insisted they diverted the waterway to power their machinery. The dispute over the river continues to this day, outside The Abyss. Seek a MEMORA proving whose claim is true.

Bark & Bite: Defeated a Ripper.

– Achievement, Feat – FeatDesc/RipperKill

Possibly related to the Reaper of Ultima lore, the Ripper is an arch-shaped, tree-like plant with four long arms that have sharp blades at the end. It will viciously attack anything that it notices moving within range.

However, it is a friend of the Deep Slug, which it will not attack.

While generally found in isolation, lore suggests that they can (or could) be found in whole forests, and were considerably more mobile.

The back end of a ripper has an embedded Ripper Burl, and growing around it and sometimes on seedlings there are their fruit, the Ripper Pome, which can be used as bait for Deep Slugs.

There is a possibly-cut item, Ripper Seed, which, when planted, grows a Ripper.

They apparently love Rotworm grub fillets. They probably do not love long walks in the park.

They are susceptible to fire, but likely resistant to piercing damage, as armor made from their hide also has this resistance.

Rippers are the subject of the Achievement and Feat Bark & Bite.

Wisp

Wisps can be found in the game, but other than casting very localized light, they do not affect anything, and cannot be interacted with.

Skeletons are resistant to arrows.

– Load Screen – LoadScreenTips/tip73

THE ROUT BEGINS: The dead have driven us from the lower levels, and still they press the attack. My warriors… exhausted. So many have fallen… the forges are lost, and we still fight to hold the upper halls. Where is the aid Cabirus promised? Will he leave us to die… to be sacrificed? We are alone. The elves are lost, scattered. The expedition’s only hope is to retreat to the Circle of Portals… The Saurians will not help us in their warded city. We must retreat, break the portals, and try to gather our forces elsewhere. - Executor Rubric of The Expedition

– Memora – Logs/Memora_dwarf_006

TALES OF THE UNDEAD: It’s a common jest among the Disenthralled that investigating the Undead is the quickest way to joining them. The ancient texts claim the reanimated deceased are a consequence of the unique arcane nature of our Abyssal environment. I disagree. The Abyss itself harbors an ill will. The walking dead are extensions of Typhon, his malice made flesh and bone. Or bone...just bone. - Xefreyani of The Deep Elves

– Memora – Logs/Memora_Swamp2_Intrigue_001

HIRED HELP: The Hivemind’s ancestral enemy is our ancestral enemy. I say this with no ulterior motive. We seek fellowship with our Shambler neighbors. So Pir-Tama preached, her will be done. And we certainly have no need of the Undead in our halls. The Lizardmen relish the challenge, so why not make it worth their while? I will make the arrangements. - Xefreyani of The Deep Elves

– Memora – Logs/Memora_Volc1_Intrigue_002

REPEL TYPHON'S FORCES: UPPER EREBUS is a bastion of our enemies. The dead, risen from the corpses of countless conflicts in The Abyss, march there. Some perished before Typhon’s rise, in the arcane conflicts with the Arch-Mage Tyball. Others were souls who labored to make The Abyss a home – and now are driven to destroy it. You must drive the undead out of the ruins, and put the unfortunate dead to rest once more.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Main_Expel_001

DEAD MEN WALKING: The Undead have long served Typhon in The Abyss. Ancient accounts claim the skeletons emerged fleshless from chasm walls! THE DEEP ELVES wish to know how Typhon gained control of these ghouls. Such an account would ease relations with The Shamblers, who despise the walking dead. Recover a MEMORA containing such knowledge.

Note from Hig Harkens: HH THEORY #63: THE UNDEAD DO NOT FOLLOW TYPHON WILLINGLY

As he rises, the dead follow, infused with his power. Each living thing that falls, fuels his strength… and brings him one step closer to escaping this prison.

The dead are my servants, broken to my will. The Chthonians choose to follow me.

– Typhon – VOSubtitles/vo_typhon_thedeadaremyservants

The dead gather to my call, thralls to my will. Soon, they will march and consume the world.

– Typhon – VOSubtitles/vo_typhon_thedeadgathertomycall

When you die, you will join the dead I have enslaved… I will have you march on these Factions you seek to protect -- and put them all to the blade, in the name of Typhon.

– Typhon – VOSubtitles/vo_typhon_whenyoudieyouwilljoin

Skeletons form the majority of Typhon's armies, and are the unfortunate dead from past settlements, adventures and battles within The Abyss, who have been forced in death into servitude to Typhon. They come in several levels of ability.

They all have the following traits:

can be reanimated by Eidolons
resistant to arrows, likely because the shafts go straight through.
absorb mana motes
affected by magic that affect "spirit"
can see and hear the Ascendant - or distractions!

Spectral Warrior

The weakest type of Skeleton Warrior, this skeleton may be unarmed, perhaps literally, and may also be lacking a head. These might be the remains of a beheaded person, or of the cut monster the Headless.

These skeletons can be summoned by the lowest level undead-summoning spell (without a head), and with the medium-strength summoning spell (with a head).

Spectral Knight

Quotes:

Expand

Spectral Champion

The strongest type of Skeleton, the Spectral Champion has the special ability to rally itself and its allies, making them all stronger.

Spectral Beings

Quotes:

Expand

While the skeletons are called "spectral", they are not in fact spectres, as they have solid physical bodies. Spectral Beings, on the other hand, are various forms of floating, incorporeal spectre.

Animus

Quotes:

Expand

The 'Animus of a Spectral Being is a "big glowy thing" - a swirling stack of bones about the side of a person, which stores within it a "core".

They are of two types.

The animus of an Eidolon

The Animus of an Eidolon is powered by a Mana Core, which can be used to power the Materia Moduses, to modify the physical structure of a level.

Quotes:

The animus of a Lich

Quotes:

Expand

The Animus of a Lich (or Arch-Lich) is powered by an Aether Core, which can be used to power the Tempus Modus, to push back the Doom Counter.

Eidolon

Quotes:

Expand

The weakest form of Spectral Being, the Eidolon is a willingly-raised servitor of Typhon which can reanimate slain undead to fight again.

They cannot be attacked directly, but will be destroyed if you find and destroy their Animus.

Lich

Quotes:

Expand

TYPHON SUMMONS A LICH!: Eidolons are not the only willing servants of Typhon… More terrible still are the shades of wizards long since dead – a creature, the LICH. As Typhon wages war against us, he infuses more of his power into these dead mages. Once united under TYyball, now they eagerly draw upon Typhon’s power and live again… One such abomination has risen in TITAN'S REACH. You must find a way to destroy it.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Main_Gather_002

LICH EXTRACTION REQUIRED: TYBALL'S FOLLY is haunted. The dead will never rest with a LICH lurking about. The ghosts of wizards, Liches are also extensions of Typhon's power. Typhon expended energy to animate them. They in turn reanimate the dead. Doubtless the Liches wish ready this realm for their master's return. Push them out, and weaken Typhon in the process.

– Quest – QuestDescription/Fort1_Expel_001

ANCIENT SUMMONS: The Dwarves of THE EXPEDITION lived here of their own volition. They sought to shape The Abyss. To bend it to their needs. They've since heard that the LICH can summon other undead in service of Typhon. A MEMORA of this ability might offer a key to defeating The Father of Monsters. Recover it for the Dwarves.

– Quest (cut) – QuestDescription/Volc1_Imprint_002

Motes of Mana are invisible unless one is a Lich—they’re drawn to it—or one learns the right skill. –Draupnir

– Graffiti – Signage/Outcast_022

Fail - and Typhon's creatures will gain strength. Its power will be used to raise another of the dark mages… a Lich, who will serve Typhon… willingly.

– Cabirus – VOSubtitles/vo_narrator_failandtyphonscreatureswillgain

Typhon has raised a lich from the remains of a mage, imbuing it with his essence. Typhon’s power grows with each such resurrection.

– Haprukala – VOSubtitles/vo_haprukala_typhonhasraisedalichfrom

Rise, mage… as a lich.

– Typhon – VOSubtitles/vo_typhon_risemageasalich

A Lich has risen. Another servitor for Typhon.

– Cabirus – VOSubtitles/vo_narrator_alichhasrisenanotherservitor

DEEP THOUGHTS: The Leaf enlightens. Confrontation with Typhon comes tomorrow, and yet I have faced him today, in a thousand battles with as many outcomes. Most end in fire. Some end in darkness, a void. One ends in balance. Typhon’s power is not limitless. His Lich minions take their toll. Yet only if we stand united, as Pir-Tama taught. The Leaf enlightens. - Xefreyani of The Deep Elves

– Memora – LogTitles/Memora_Swamp2_Intrigue_010

The Lich is akin to the Eidolon, willingly raised by Typhon to his service, but armed with more powerful magic, due to being raised from a wizard. Rather than merely raising defeated undead, they can summon more undead to their cause.

Like the Eidolon, they cannot be attacked directly, but will be destroyed if you find and destroy their Animus.

The Lich is said to be able to see and draw to themselves motes of mana. They will therefore not run out of spells when attacking you.

Arch Lich

Quotes:

Expand

An Arch Lich is a Lich which was raised from an Arch Mage. As such, it has the sentience and power of a true master of the dark arts, and is among Typhon's most deadly servants.
