--+--Devourers--+--

Devourers look like giant two-tailed scorpions,
that are slightly larger than a human.

Devourers are undetectable (i.e. they do not show up on a character's minimap)
and immobile while underground,
and will only burrow their way to the surface when their victim comes within close proximity. Devourers typically burrow out of the ground in packs,
with each pack consisting of a mix of melee and ranged attackers.
Devourers cannot burrow back into the ground once they have surfaced.

Most of the Devourers are Warriors, Rangers, Necromancers.

--+--Dryders--+--

Dryders in Guild Wars are intelligent spiders.
While spiders in Guild Wars are mostly rangers,Dryders can be found in all spell-casting professions. They seem to be magically modified spiders, but this is not confirmed.

--+--Spiders--+--

Spiders in Guild Wars are the traditional Giant Spiders found in most Dungeons and Dragons games.
They resemble a real spider except that they are larger than a human
and have nasty long range attacks.
All the enemy Spiders in the game right now are rangers.

In addition to the Giant Spiders there are smaller spiders found in the game (especially in Pre-Searing),
which are mostly harmless.

Giant needle Spiders.
Giant tree Spiders.

--+--Scarabs--+--

A Scarab is a large insect
that has small hind legs and two large front legs that it uses for attacks.
They are generally found in the warmer areas of the game,
the Maguuma Jungle and the Crystal Desert.

Scarabs will usually be burrowed beneath the earth and will appear as players approach them.
They are fragile and cannot withstand much damage,
but a large number of them can overwhelm a party memebr or two.

and are presently only found as melee attackers.

(Rock Borer Worms are Worms that live in the Forest of the Wailing Lord.
They are sub-par foes compared to the others in the Fissure
and as such only add to the Worms' legacy of being lousy foes in Guild Wars.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--+--Wurms--+--

Wurms are gigantic worm-like creatures that burrow in the ground
and come out to strike at the unexpecting adventurers.
Wurms generally do not appear on the radar until a player aggros them;
then they will invoke a tremor that will knockdown that target and all surrounding allies.
Wurms will then come out of the ground to attack their target.
If the target tries to move, they will do the same manuever again.

Wurms are first encountered as Sand Wurms in the Crystal Desert
(where players are sometimes warned about their presence by bleached bones
or by seeing them devour other creatures at a distance).
They are then found in the Southern Shiverpeaks and the Ring of Fire Islands.

With the exception of Siege Wurms,
all other Wurms are mobile.
They are incredibly persistent in following their prey.
Despite their panic-inspiring stage entrance, great damage and thick armor,
a party has a much better chance standing its ground and attacking than trying to out run a Wurm.
They will follow for a very long time.

--+--Riders--+--

Riders are magical creatures that resemble a floating jellyfish with a thorny shell
and a gaping mouth below that shell.
The specific breed of Storm Kin is said to have been created by a once great mage named Cembrien,
but whether he was responsible for the other breeds in the game or whether all the breeds are magical
creations or exist naturally, is unknown at the moment.

Riders tend to be very fargile physically,
but also tend to be lethal spell-casters.
With the exception of Smoke Walkers,
all Riders in the game are Mesmers
and a pack of more then 3 will make any party think twice as they excel in interrupts,
hexing or energy drain, or a combination of the three.

Riders can be found all over Tyria except in the Shiverpeak Mountains.

--+--Behemoths--+--

Behemoths and Burrowers are huge beasts that live mainly underground,
with only a claw-armed head on a serpent-like head above the surface.
They are stationary beings, that don't leave their place under any circumstances,
not even to pursuit fleeing prey.
Usually they will be found waiting dormant,
with the neck retracted and the head resting on the ground on a collar of spiky rocks,
only springing to life when prey comes within range of their powerful ranged attack.
This appearance makes them look almost like harmless piles of rocks from a distance.
