 Some creatures are considered to be a special type of creature. They often have similar abilities, like most Undead creatures having cold resistance, or Demons having Spirit Sight. Sometimes these abilities are inherent to the creature type, sometimes they are not. Creature types also affect things like who can lead different creatures (Undead and Demons need Undead Leadership, and Magic Beings need magical leadership for instance). Mostly though, creature types are used for targeting special abilities, like how Rigor Mortis doesn't have any effect on creatures of the Inanimate type. Creatures can have multiple types.

The creature can cross most terrain using less map movement points, though it is hindered in caves. It also ignores mountain passes and rivers. It's patrol value and siege strength is doubled. In battles it can fly, unless there is a storm.

 ==== Auras ====
+[[auras|Auras]] are an ability that a creature can have where they are surrounded by some sort of force or effect. The most common auras seen in the game are heat or chill auras, which come baked in on many creatures, but there are many others that use the mechanic.
+Auras all have a value displayed like Dread (6). For most auras this value is roughly how many tiles are affected per turn. The affected tiles are always near the creature with the aura: auras with a value below 10 stay within one tile of it, and stronger auras reach up to two tiles away. The same tile can be hit multiple times by the same aura. Some auras generate clouds. If a cloud is generated on a tile that already has an identical cloud, it has a small chance to increase the cloud strength level. Auras that generate clouds can not stack higher than strength level 2.
