A legendary creature is a rare and unique variant of a creature. Legendary creatures grant reputation changes when the player kills them or performs the water ritual with them.

Pre-Determined Unique Creatures

Certain legendary creatures are guaranteed to exist in pre-determined game locations. Typically, these creatures have unique names and are also referred to as unique characters.

Randomly Generated Legendary Creatures

Many other legendary creatures are randomly created as part of the procedural generation process. Randomly generated legendary creatures may include:

• Legendary merchants, which can be found through random exploration or located with the help of an advertisement.
• Legendary lair owners, which can be found through random exploration or as village quest landmarks or destinations.
• Legendary cultists, which can be found in Historic sites.
• Wandering legendary creatures, which can be found as a random encounter in almost any zone.

Randomly generated legendary creatures have a noticeable magenta coloration which replaces their creature's usual primary color.

Randomly generated legendary creatures also have increased stats or additional skills and mutations when compared to their normal creature variants.

Some examples of legendary creature generation rules are described in the following articles:

• snapjaw warlord
• goatfolk shaman
• eyeless king crab
