A new preview of a few of the monsters can be found here. (http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/434/434162p1.html) Go read it, it kicks ass!
There are also 4 animations of each new monster described, go see em!

Nice, I like how a behavior description was provided.. hopefully it carries into the game & that all mob AI is unique.

Good stuff to tide us over a day or two. Thanks RW/AV.
BTW, that Goblin one looks more like a Mirdain mount candidate than a Goblin. =)

Nice animations but, what's up with the Gargoyle's wings? Holes, no holes, holes, repeat. Looking forward to more info. Personally, 150 types of monsters, taking into account Darkfall has self proclaimed as one of the biggest in game worlds out there, doesn't seem sufficient. But then of course, it's not even beta yet, and I was never a good judge.

Stuff is looking good.
I was just wondering though, when will we see the smartest and most feared monster in the world of Agon? I mean, these guys we just saw are stupid, but I'm talking about the "uber" monster... Want to know who it is so I can go bitchslap it and make it my pet! ;)

It's not even in beta yet. They certainly have a few tweaks to make here and there. Also, 150 Monsters is a lot if you consider that they will be using different textures for some of them. It took EverQuest, 3 expansions to get 150 unique monster types. Even DAOC at launch, didn't have 150 unique monster types if you add up everything from all 3 of it's realms.
Something else to consider, they are just talking about "monsters". Not animals or NPCs.
Besides its monster diversity, Agon fauna will also consist of wild animals, domesticated animals, birds, fish, and insects.
So, there will likely be dozens of different animals and there could always be camps or entire dungeons that are home to something like an thief clan of NPC Alfar.
Also, I hope that this weekly monster thing doesn't show us ALL the monsters. I would like to be surprised while playing the game and run across something that I never seen nor heard of before.

The "uber" monsters won't be in the world until the players get there. Ya know ... like those rotten Alfar if you're not an Alfar ... or everyone else if you are one. :lol:
Good to see something but I'm not going to say "WOW!!"

Really nice, I especially liked the goblin and the ghoul ( which really reminds of gollum )
It`s always nice to get more info :D

It's impressive to think that there's so many skills, spells, monsters...
Maybe some other site will get skills and spells for our viewing pleasure. :)

I like the part about how you can be an explorer. Hope this means your map starts out blank then fills up as you go new places.

Darkfall features over 150 different types of monsters, many of which will have several variations.
I wonder what types of "variations" Darkfall will have. I'm assuming we're not talking about rat#1, rat#2, and rat#3. Any chance we could see a variation? Hopefully they will be somewhat unique in their appearance and tactics.

Very nice.
I was wondering about the Goblins left foot after he falls. The toes seemed to move a little funny to me. Of course I am nitpicking but very happy to see new content . :D
