Journal of the Creatures and Monsters of Elanthia
Since coming to the Crossing I have had the opportunity to hunt or confront many of the creatures and monsters that inhabit the land.
Most of my experiences so far have been within the bounds of Zoluren, but I have begun to branch out more as my skills grow.
I have decided to keep my notes on the creatures I have faces, as well as those I have researched, within this journal as a reference tool for the future. It will also aid in planning for potential hunts or encounters later on.
This journal is organized into two primary sections. The first is my personal hunting log complete with short notes. These are the creatures and monsters I have faced and are in the order (mostly) that I encountered them.
The second section of the journal are collections of creatures I have researched by specific criteria. These notes are for ease of future research and reference as my horizons broaden.

Research Notes
The following sections are collections of creatures by specific criteria.
Depending on hunting goals or acquisition needs these may be helpful to choose what to hunt or what to avoid.
Skinnable creatures with boxes | All
As a Cleric, Rhoran hunts a mix of living and undead/cursed creatures with the occasional construct thrown in.
His primary two criteria for hunting targets are that they are skinnable to help his training as an Outfitter, and that they carry treasure chests, boxes, etc. that can be picked and disarmed.
The list below shows the creatures and monsters that fit these requirements.
Skinnable creatures with boxes | Living & Construct only
If you prefer to avoid the undead, however, Rhoran has edited his list for your use.
Skinnable Creatures | Corporeal Undead only
Sometimes, as a Cleric, you need the skin or pelt of an undead or evil creature. Rhoran has provided the list below to help you find what you need.
Non-skinnable creatures with boxes | All
Finding creatures and monsters to skin is fairly easy, but finding treasure boxes... not so much.
If you need to work on your locksmithing skills here's another version of Rhoran's list narrowed to remove skinnable creatures, and just list those known to drop a box - living or dead.
Non-skinnable creatures with boxes | Living & Constructs only
Again, if you prefer to avoid the undead, here is a version of the list above edited to show only the living or constructs.
Undead | All
Just need to smite some Undead and don't really care if they're corporeal or not? Rhoran has a list for that too.
