Voracious Shrub
These strange shrubs grow in remote areas, especially in deserts or dense forests. At first glance, they appear to be harmless piles of dry leaves or bushes, but the glowing eyes hidden within their foliage reveal their predatory nature.

Screaming Sludge Homunculus
he Screaming Sludge Homunculus is a magical aberration born from discarded alchemical waste combined with unstable magic. Despite its comical appearance, these creatures are extremely irritating and deadly in groups. They move slowly, emitting high-pitched screams that can stun or confuse nearby enemies. Additionally, they can split into smaller pieces to surround their targets, making them a nightmare in confined spaces.

Devouring Gorge
A massive subterranean creature that disguises itself as a canyon filled with jagged rock formations. Its purple tentacles emerge to snatch unsuspecting prey, while the interior of the gorge is lined with spikes that shred anything that falls into it. It is said to not only devour bodies but also drain the life essence of its victims.
