Argwylon Monsters & Beasts

Zoats

Massive, mace-wielding, and aggressively territorial when encountered up close, Zoats are in fact highly magical creatures that prefer to avoid detection in the wild. Instead they will rouse the trees and undergrowth to crush and strangle interlopers before taking any direct action. Their magical abilities are used in an instinctive manner not gained through study or ritual, enabling them to imbue a forest with a reputation so dreadful that even marauding Orcs and rampaging warherds will give the area a wide berth. When eldritch storms erupt upon the world, it is possible to draw the creatures out of their reclusive forest homes to bind them into service. On the battlefield a Zoat can knock swathes of enemies down with a single sweeping swing of its weapon while simultaneously using its innate connection to the Winds of Magic.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Spellcaster
  This unit can cast spells.
• Forest Stalker
  The Elves of Athel Loren gain bonuses to melee defence and accuracy while fighting within the forest.
• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Anti-Large
  Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
