Twisted

"The stomach-churning reek is choking, and a green-brown haze surrounds them. Their guts spill from a jagged gap in their stomach, and flies buzz about it, feasting. Three disproportionate, arm-like limbs emerge from their bloated body. ... Twisted? No, I weren't talking about them, they aren't that nice."

Twisted are monstrous abominations that seem to appear in Cez Territory, in the western stone forest. The bravest warriors cover in fear, others lose their minds as they see them. It is unknown from where they come or what is their reason to be. Some of them seem to be harmless, while others rush when they spot you. They seem to avoid bigger groups of enemies but at some point such groups are always attacked by nearby Twisted. During research expeditions it was found that If you carry out the body of a twisted from border of Western Stone Forest it will decay rapidly, in less than hour.  There are various types of twisted while the confirmed are:

Faceless

Considered the most harmless Twisted. Complete lack of any combat abilities and slow movement, never faster than walking, makes Faceless easy to kill. However it's known that if faceless outnumber greatly, they will attempt to surround their prey what results in subject losing his mind. It's also known that the only way to spot a faceless is seeing him, it doesn't emit any magic aura nor produce any sound while moving.

Walker

Those creatures walk through stone forest without any objective. Are also the fastest Twisted known but fall into harmless category as they run when they spot an enemy. The only known case of aggressive behaviour was when expedition team attempted to follow Walker. In such case Twisted will attempt to wound or kill one of the chasers and continue running away.

Abomination

Classified by Oswald Gerenberg during second expedition, Abomination is quickly moving, fragile and aggressive creature that will always attempt to kill what's spotted on sight. Sharp claws can rip off skin and leather but easily break on armor and their bones are extremely fragile, could be broken with wooden staff. Another thing about them is multiple heads make them capable of seeing in every direction.

Flesheater

Those horrific creatures walk only the inner territory of Western Stone Forest. Their movement is slow and seem to be deaf as there is no reaction to any kind of sound. Even if their eyeholes are empty, the seem to have some kind of vision, that is also the greatest between Twisted. No matter what distance, if they spot anything, they will attempt to chase their target. Afterwards they will proceed to embrace their target and slowly consume everything as even steel armor breaks under their teeth. Section of those creatures, that don't stop moving even if cut into pieces, showed complete lack of any organs, what leads to conclusion how they can fit things bigger than them, inside.

Runner

Around two meters high, bird like Twisted. So far the fastest Twisted and their beaks can easily break thrust through steel armor, while their claws are used to hold their prey during the assault. Runners appear to be completely blind and rely on their hearing, even if they seem to not have any kind of ears. Their weak point is anything besides beak, cutting any of it's limbs will be enough to kill a Runner, as they bleed out in less than minute. Section of those creatures resulted in finding multiple human organs in changed condition, leading to conclusion they used to be human.

Spectre

Spectres were seen only during the expeditions, moving through the encampment without an objective. Those that were saw by Spectre always fell into coma, lasting from one to three days. After recovering from it, none of them seemed to remember seeing a Spectre or any dreams. Every attempt to kill a Spectre resulted in failure, as Twisted always disappeared before it could be hit.

Oracle

Oracles are always lonely wandering Twisted and the only one discovered, that is capable of talking. Soldiers that encountered them heard words but language they are speaking in, is still unknown for researchers and is supposed to be one of Old languages.  Those beings seem to not be hostile and react with aggresion only when attacked. In such case, powerful mind spikes are unleashed, resulting in targets losing their minds. Such kind of attacks are visible only to mages, what makes Oracle unkillable with non-magical means. So far not a single Oracle was killed as they seem to avoid bigger groups of people.
