Cost per creature: Cannot be recruited normally

Edition: Winds of War

Alignment: Chaos

Internal reference cost: 8000 gold + 4 sulfur. Cost and growth do not promise ordinary recruitment is available.

Abilities and limitations

  • Magic resistance

    50% chance to resist a hostile spell, also reducing spell damage. This is not complete immunity; beneficial magic follows its own targeting rules.

  • Wide breath

    The breath covers a wider area than a simple line behind the target. Check friendly stacks throughout the affected region before attacking.

Reference ↗

Where to obtain and develop this creature

This reference assigns no direct town dwelling. Read the profile’s availability and abilities for acquisition.

Reading this profile correctly

Action speed, combat movement and adventure-map movement are separate attributes. Weekly growth compares reference values; Heroes IV replenishes creatures daily.

Resource costs are part of recruitment. For an entire stack, multiply every component, not just gold. Base growth excludes additional town, map and hero bonuses. Zero shots means no regular ranged attack; the creature can still have spells or other active abilities.

Original roster scope

74 creatures from historical Jaskinia Behemota tables: 48 town creatures and 26 neutrals, including four from The Gathering Storm and three from Winds of War. This is not a separate Equilibris database. Action speed, combat movement and adventure movement are distinct stats. Melee and ranged defense are listed separately. Growth is a weekly comparison value; Heroes IV adds creatures daily. Check how a neutral creature can actually be obtained.
