Creature

Many are the creatures both fantastical and mundane that roam across the world of Eora. What is catalogued here is not meant to be an all-inclusive list of the diversity of the world.

Each creature is from one of the five types: Wilder, Primordial, Beast, Spirit or Vessel. There are talents, abilities and items that increase damage and accuracy against a particular type of creature.

Details

• Eoten – Eotens feature in the most grotesque of folk tales. Once merely the most aggressive and unstable of ogres, Eotens have since developed into massive monstrosities that are both larger and far less intelligent than their cousins. Eotens have two heads, one notable smaller than the other, and when the larger of these is incapacitated, the smaller retains just enough brute cunning to keep an Eoten fighting.

Monster strengths and weaknesses

Main article: Monster Strengths and Weaknesses

All creature types and families have their own strengths and weaknesses, which therefore require the player to choose different strategies against them. Killing creatures (with the notable exception of Kiths) will cause the Bestiary to progressively reveal attributes and different abilities of particular creatures that the player fights, and will help determining what attacks and spells to use and against which of creature defenses.

The complete overview of all creature statistics important for combat might be found in Monster Strengths and Weaknesses table.

Behind the scenes

• Pillars of Eternity, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, and Avowed features many different creatures, both classical fantasy monsters like the Ogre and monsters that are inspired by those found in Dungeons & Dragons like the Vithrack.
• There are also monsters that are entirely unique to the world like the Skuldr.
