It wouldn't be much of an adventure without creatures to club or villains to vanquish. Luckily the land of EQ2 is teaming with grizzly little critters begging for a royal smack down. Of course the majority of the lower levels will be spent in the time-honored rat-bashing factory. Though there are other creatures just as pathetic as these little rodents like mucus slugs, frogs and goblins that add a bit of variety, it'll be a while before combating any of the true bad muthas of the land---but rest assured they are just dying to meet you [As I'm sure you are as well! ---ED.]. The most impressive monsters hungry for hero meat have to be the vile Dragons that literally tower into the sky. The difficulty of defeating a Dragon warrants unique quest zones that adventurers will have to be well-prepared for to enter---not to mention survive. While these specific encounter zones are exciting, they are not apparent from the outset of the game and they require a lot of work to get into.
