Creatures
|
Throughout Middle-earth you will find many different types of creatures, which may or may not be aggressive, running the gamut from humans to creatures and even monsters.
Creatures by Location
Creatures are sorted by the region in which they can be found. Keep in mind that their difficulty and type are also related to each region, just as character progression.
Creatures by Type
When exploring the worlds players will notice different difficulty indicators on creatures they come across. These indicators are the colors of creature names, and also the types of the creatures.
Colors — The color of creature names are different and gives a quick-glance indication of the toughness of the creatures versus the character. This indicator should not be considered all by itself though. The color simply indicates a creature's level relative the character's own level:
![]() Grey - 9 or more levels below or was attacked by another person (yields no XP) | ||
![]() Green - 6-8 levels below |
![]() Turquoise - 3-5 levels below |
![]() Blue - 1-2 levels below |
![]() White - Same level as yourself | ||
![]() Yellow - 1 level above |
Orange - 2-4 levels above |
Red - 5-7 levels above |
| Purple - 8 levels above Probably an instant death | ||
Types — Creatures are organized by type, which together with their level determines their difficulty. Normal creatures are easily defeated with little skill while Arch-nemesis require planning and cooperation from all who participate in their defeat. Types range from Swarm and Normal to Arch-nemesis. Target a creature and its name label reveals its type. Hover the mouse cursor over the label to obtain even further information:
