Edition: Heroes IV

Alignment: Nature

Creature Portal shares a weekly budget of 700 experience points across all its creature options. Allocating that budget to this creature gives a reference equivalent of 6.67 per week, compared with ordinary growth of 6. Fractions describe a rate; fractions of a creature cannot be recruited.

Abilities and limitations

  • Weakness attack

    A hit can apply Weakness and reduce the target’s attack. It is particularly useful against a stack that has yet to attack.

  • Ranged attack

    Enables regular ranged attacks. Use the separately listed melee attack when engaged; the ranged rating does not carry over.

Where to obtain and develop this creature

The building unlocks this form. Availability and hiring are separate.

Reference stack cost and health

These values multiply every resource in the undiscounted reference price and full base health. Hero, equipment, spell, price and growth modifiers are excluded. This is neither final damage or battle survival nor a guarantee that the listed number is available to recruit.

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.
