Monsters and Characters of Warhamster
For more creature of Warhamster beyond those listed below, click here....
Warhamsters...
there appears to be several types of these creatures, including a variant that
can be ridden.
Orcs (sometimes
also known as Goblins or Goblyns). Orcs sometimes can be found in Orcish Warbands,
stationed at Orc Encampments and Garrisons, and the occasional Hall of Infinite Orcs.
Apparently, they also, um... produce a high level of methane, which means that
large groups of Orcs in a dungeon do not react well to fireball spells....
Trolls
Battle Budgies...
giant armored parakeets, sometimes (like warhamsters) used for riding.
Kobold Kin
The dreaded
Turbonium Dragon... one of the fiercest creatures in the Warhamster universe.
The Jolly
Jongleur of Aurora (and his little dog). The Jongleur sometimes appears to
weary travelers, to refresh their health and aid them in their quests. On the
other hand, Igor has a tendancy to slice and dice the Jongleur, which can be
very bad....
