These creatures are the descendants of some ancient sorcerer's experiments. For thousands of years they have lived in the dark places beneath the world and now they are encountering surface dwellers for the first time - and stealing their stuff. Instinct: To take shiny things.

• Ambush unsuspecting foes.
• Steal an unguarded trinket.
• Retreat and regroup.

Every now and then a Volian will grow vastly larger than its peers. Though their increased size and strength does not necessarily correlate to increased skill or intelligence, these brutes tend to lead groups of their smaller brethren through fear and abuse. Instinct: To kill and loot.

• Command Volian warriors.
• Sacrifice other Volians so it can escape.
• Call in hidden reinforcements.
