Two Worlds is being
developed for the PC and Xbox 360
platforms. The game's complexity,
dynamics and mechanisms have been
designed to appeal to both markets
and the steering takes advantage of
mouse and game-pad features alike.
The Mantis is an enormous version of
that merciless killer of the insect
world, the Praying Mantis. An extremely
strong layer of chitin provides it with
almost total protection from arrows
and light sword blows. It has a large
shielding plate to protect its head.
In addition to its four legs, which
can propel this monster to amazing speeds,
it also has two pincer arms which it
uses to attack and disable enemies...
and let's not forget its razor sharp
teeth! The Mantis mainly lives in dry
areas, often building its nest on sandy
ground near abandoned ruins.
The
Giant Scorpion
You're bound to make the acquaintance
of the Giant Scorpion if you happen
to wander into the Drak¡¯ar desert.
This entity is just as ferocious as
its much smaller cousins and is a dangerous
threat to travelers in the southern
lands. Its most important weapon is
its armored tail - the poison in this
thing is deadly! The Giant Scorpion
stabs lightning-fast and deeply into
its victims with this dagger-like sting...
and the only thing that will help you
then - if you're lucky - is a really
strong healing potion. This monster's
dangerous in a frontal attack too! Its
powerful pincers have additional claws
and can do a lot of damage ¨C damage
of the permanent kind...
The
Hunting Spider
These spiders, as tall as a man, are
to be found almost everywhere in Antaloor.
The color of the thick hair on their
bodies depends on the region where they
live - you'll come across them in every
color of the rainbow, from poisonous
yellow to a camouflaging earthy brown.
The Hunting Spider's most effective
weapon is its poisonous saliva - and
it can spit it out incredibly fast!
These killers mostly stick to the thick
undergrowth, surprising their prey (¡that's
you!) with a deadly stream of poison.
When their poison starts to take effect
in the victim, they'll come out and...well,
you can imagine the rest...'t'ain't
nice!
The
Reaper
This is the most widespread monster
in Antaloor, so you'll probably come
across them pretty often! Whether in
mountain forests or the treeless, arid
zone to the far south, the Reapers are
everywhere. They have two legs and attack
in packs. Rumor has it that a Reaper
alone isn¡¯t so dangerous - but
if you should come across one, don't
take it too lightly... there are different
kinds of reapers and the one facing
you could turn out to be your killer!
Throughout the course of the centuries,
the species has continued to evolve,
producing some really deadly varieties.
Just two examples here are the Plate
Reaper, protected by an especially large
armored head plate and the Hammertail
Reaper, which has a star-shaped, iron-hard
knob on the end of its tail - and it
sure knows how to use it to cripple
anything in its way!
The
Wyverns
The Wyverns are related to the Reapers
- but they're much more dangerous! These
reptiles have a pair of leathery wings
that are useless for flight, but they
provide stability when they're running
or fighting! With powerful claws on
their feet and arms and two deadly horns
on their heads, these Wyverns are truly
dangerous in close combat... and they
fight in pairs too - perfect teamwork
and a killing combination! Be extremely
wary of these monsters ¨C they¡¯re
true dealers of death - and, like their
cousins, you'll usually find them all
over Antaloor. There is one region they
don't like, however - the cold lands
of the glaciers...
The
Demons
Demons really live up to their evil
reputation - among their ranks, you'll
find some of the most dangerous creatures
in all of Antaloor. They have huge paws
with razor-sharp claws - and those,
combined with their long reach, are
perfect for dealing a deadly one-two.
Their skin consists of a leathery substance,
partly covered with scales - an almost
impenetrable armor. If these creatures
have any weakness at all, it could be
their somewhat slow reaction time. That's
just the normal demons though - the
unwary traveler is sure to meet the
winged "Hell Demons" and "Hell
Lords"! Their wings help them to
move much faster than the other demons
- and that spells out danger with a
capital D!
The
Tulok
The Tulok are headless monsters - they
live only in the underworld. No one
knows how these beasts lost their heads
over the ages - but everyone knows that
they're one of the most dangerous entities
ever to evolve on the planet! In the
dank, pitch-dark passageways of the
dungeons, eyes are an unnecessary luxury
anyway... so being headless is probably
an advantage for these horrible creatures.
The Tulok go berserk in the narrow passageways,
bringing certain death to all but the
fleet of foot. They also have an unbelievable
amount of endurance while fighting.
