{Rabid Dog}
You hear a strange howling in the dark distance ahead.  The beast pants into
view with saliva dropping from its snapping jaws.  The rabid dog cautiously
makes it way towards you.
{Beggar}
"Have a penny for the poor?" scratches an old beggar.  He emerges from his
abode and gleams at your belongings.  "Surely you have SOMETHING for me!"
smirks the beggar as he advances.
{Bandit}
"DIE!" shouts a Bandit as he drops cat-like to the ground behind you from
out of nowhere.  He draws whirls his steel chain and starts to circle you,
scoping out your inventory.
{Giant Hawk}
From high above, you hear the screaching from an abhorred Giant Hawk.  Its
steel-sharp talons scream for human flesh as the hawk swoops down through
the air ready to strike!
{Scavenger}
As you continue walking, you spot a filthy scavenger sniffing the ground in
search of food.  It notices your movement and abruptly stands up.  He sniffs
the air and smiles an evilish grin.  He scurries toward you.
{Wanderer}
"Beautiful day, eh matey?" says a wanderer coming up from behind you.  His
orange-striped pants indicate he was a bedlamite from the early years.  He
nods in agreement with himself.  "Why sure it is..." the wanderer laughs
pulling out his Salanger.
{Vendor}
You spot an old man pushing a cart down a trodden path.  Dangling from his
side are a pair of Natase, stained with a brownish tint.  He turns his cart
towards you and offers a friendly smile.  Only then do you notice the sign
on the side of his cart reading, "Human heads -- 100 water crystals!"
{Kamizee}
On your right, a Kamizee hunches over some scavenged food.  You squirm as you
think you recognize his food to be a fellow recruit you once knew.  The beast
smells your presence and aborts his feeding.  His frenzy aims towards you.
{Zombie}
Ahead, the ground starts to crumble inwards.  A blood-crusted hand emerges
gasping for air.  The zombie pulls itself from the black ground and lurks
towards you!  "B-R-A-I-N-S!!!"
{Convict}
"Yeeehaaa!" shouts an escaped convict as he hurdles himself off of a towering
rock, firing his Trilasm towards you.  As a ZZET nicks by your hair, you draw
your weapons from pack and face the convict.
{Hydrite}
"We meet again, Human!" cackles a Hydrite as he sneaks up from behind.  He
twirls the mighty blade of his TransAxe and sets his scaly fingers on his
Raxhaven.
{Road Warrior}
Rising from the rocks before you, you see a massive human with scars covering
every inch of his exposed skin.  Carried in one massive hand is a Raxhaven
while thrown over his padded shoulder rests a shiny Electric Sword.  The
glint in his eye sparkles as he kicks up dust walking towards you.
{Giant Cockroach}
Burrowing up from the ground you hear an incredibly loud clicking noise.  The
ground cracks in two as you see the black legs of a giant cockroach emerge.
You twitch in disgust as its hairy appendages begin clicking towards you.
{H'Dryzoid}
To your left, you sight a hideous Hydrite creation sneaking up on you.  When
he sees you've noticed him, he gives up all attempts at subterfuge and breaks
into a ground covering run.  As you reach for your weapon he struggles to
bring his into play first.
{Cyborg}
From behind, you hear the clank of metal striking together.  You quickly turn
and face a grim cyborg, half-man, half-machine.  This monster looks evil to
the touch as his eyes glow red in fury.  In a split second, he draws his Sonic
Devastator.
{Terminator}
A few meters away you spot a human covered with rags and ripped clothing.
Beneath the shoddy clothing you can see glimpses of high quality armor.
He senses your presence and turns to look at you.  "Welcome, stranger!"
he says as he draws his weapons.
{Tracker}
A blood-curdling screech makes you look over your shoulder.  When you turn
to face the chilling noise, you see a horrifying apparition!  Waves of malice
overwhelm you as the Tracker's red eyes lock onto you, it's next source of
sustenance.
{Stalker}
You have the strange feeling that you are being watched.  Someone taps on your
shoulder and you whip around frantically -- no one there.  You shrug and turn
back around, only to meet a monstrous Stalker breathing down your neck.  His
statically charged Tevix-Bahn illuminates in his massive grasp.
{Dredvault}
From behind, you hear the click of a rock being dislodged. You quickly turn
and face a huge Dredvault.  He radiates evil and his eyes glow red with
malice. The frightening image is burned into your mind.  It begins to glide
towards you. You just have time to think, "It moves faster than something
THAT big should be able to..."
