Kobolds
Kobolds are cannibal creatures that live in burrows, mines and caves. They can speak human language. They are cowards alone but dangerous in a pack, so never fight them in a narrow spot.

Found in
- Kobold CaveThe Kobold Cave is the burrow behind the Uriash village that Hive and Seek leads into. Expect silver-tainted water, climbing and a fight with a big kobold called Chonk.
Vale SangoraVale Sangora is the valley in the Carpathian Mountains where the game takes place. Brencis's vampires rule it, and you have 30 days to free your family from them.
Good to know
- Circular doorways of wood and twigs mark their nests.
- They fight in packs with hit-and-run tactics.
- They are cowardly and taunt from a distance.
- Some are obsessed with eating vampires, but usually only dare attack newborn ones.
- They know every tunnel of the mines and attack in groups.
- They paint murals of anything new they see, and these can hint at past events.
- A Kobold cave in Maragir holds one of the shards of Saint Mihai's sword in Forge It Anew.
Origins
One story says they were villagers who began eating visitors near a glowing crystal. They turned monstrous as the crystal dimmed.
Behaviour
They hang back and taunt until they have the numbers, then dart in and out. They can also burrow into homes or forts when they smell blood. Look for twig doorways and effigies, which mark their ground.
How to beat them
Do not chase the ones taunting at range. Back into open ground where they cannot circle you, then punish each one that commits to an attack.
Where you meet them
Caves, mines and burrows across the valley. The Kobold cave southeast of Bear's Maw Shrine is the first shard stop in Forge It Anew.

Bears are the biggest animals in the wilds of Vale Sangora. They hit hard, but at night they are also a solid meal for Coen's blood hunger.

Boars
Boars roam Vale Sangora and charge at Coen. They are a common nuisance on the road, and Update 1.1 made the high-level ones less of a sponge.
