===== Creature =====

A Creature is a type of [[Challenge|Challenge]] in [[exploration|exploration]] [[scenario|scenarios]]. Creatures are able to [[Move|Move]] on their turns, though scenario design may restrict where they will go. When not [[hidden|Hidden]], they can be seen from adjacent unblocked [[region|regions]].

Creatures often include a respawn timer. Beginning the round after such a Creature is defeated, increment a counter at the end of each round. When the counter is equal to the respawn value, a new Creature appears in the same origin region at full EP.

Creatures start with a -1 in each [[stat track|Stat Track]].

A Creature that both respawns //and// pursues the PCs through the scenario is worth 1 PC of equal level. Otherwise, the Creature is worth half a PC of equal level.
