CREATURES

Creatures

There are several different creatures in Rakion. All of them appear in Stage Mode, and they can all be bought in the shop. Like other items, creatures have level requirements. Creatures gain experience and level too; a higher level creature costs more cell points to summon, but it has higher stats, and should one wish to re-sell it, it will fetch a higher price.

• Nak:
  
• A spider-like creature, it is weak and slow-moving. Naks spit poison at their enemies at close range. Since it is rather weak, it tends to appear in enormous swarms in Stage mode. Even at higher levels Naks are easily destroyed by a few (or even one) attacks. Newcomers to Rakion get a single Nak for free, but they must buy all of their other cells.
• Blood Nak:
  
• A normal Nak that has been corrupted by Alcon. These Naks have less health but do a lot more damage. They also attack twice as fast as an ordinary Nak, but due to their low health are also killed faster. These creatures are seldom bought by players, but appear in several stages.
• Panzer:
  
• An armored knight. Panzers can take a lot more abuse than Naks, and their Halberds do more damage. However, they are not nearly as stealthy and make a lot of noise when they move and attack. Also, they move very slowly and take a long time to get up after they have fallen.
• Assault Panzer:
  
• A Panzer that does a lot more damage but has a lot less health. Assault Panzers also run much faster than their uncorrupt counterparts, and attack faster. Comparable to a Blood Nak with a lot more health and dealing a lot more damage, these creatures are devastating at higher levels.
• Crossbow:
• A small dwarf wielding a crossbow, they move and attack quite slowly. They fire two bolts from their crossbow at close range, and even though they are quite powerful they are slow and inaccurate. They also kick you if you get too close. Due to the long time it takes for them to get up, they can be attacked while they are lying on the ground.
• Blazer:
  
• A mage wearing red robes that hovers slightly above the ground. Although immobile, they have a decent amount of health. They shoot large purple blasts of energy at long range, dealing massive splashing damage. However, they have an immense cooldown time and are vulnerable to attack.
• Sky Blazer:
• A Blazer that hovers high above the ground, they both have more health and do more damage than the normal Blazer. They can only be destroyed by ranged attacks, but since they attack faster they are much harder to kill than a regular Blazer.
• Soul Cannon:
• A golem-like creature that has a cannon attached to its right arm. It shoots cannonballs at long range, but is unable to hit air targets. The cannonballs explode violently and do heavy splash damage. It also has a melee attack where it swings its thick right arm and whacks the player when he/she gets too close. When a Soul Cannon is destroyed, after about five seconds it self-destructs, creating a huge blast that deals tremendous damage.
• Longbow:
• Elvish creatures of unknown gender. As their name implies, they wield longbows and shoot powerful arrows that decimate the enemy at long range. Their arrows follow you, and can even curve up if you try to jump out of their way. However they are slow and have no close range attack. Like the Crossbow, you can also hit them when they are lying on the ground.
• Golem:
• A bipedal giant creature made out of stone and clay. It can punch powerfully at close range and hurls large boulders of earth at longer range. However, it is a very large target and easy prey for all attacks. It also moves and attacks very slowly, and is very expensive for players to summon. This creature is the main focus of Golem Wars.
• Iron Golem:
  
• A Golem made of iron with darker color than a regular Golem, higher health, higher attack speed, and increased damage.
• Taurus:
• A minotaur-like creature resembling a bull. It has a double-gore attack with its horn that is very powerful to the unsuspecting. The Taurus can also do a running dash. They walk faster than most other creatures and cannot be knocked down. Taurus have less health than the Golem, but have the potential to do more damage.
• Dragon:
• The ultimate juggernauts of destruction, the dragons soar high above the playing field. They have an immense firepower, but relatively low endurance. They can spit a large fire blast at long range that deals titanic damage, and also have a flamethrower-like attack. If a target has low health, the Dragon flies close and hooks it with its claws. Dragons are expensive, but their firepower is well worth the high cost.
• Ice Wind:
• An airborne winged creature that looks somewhat like a blue harpy. They shoot ice blasts at long range that freeze you for around half a second (cannot freeze Golems or other large enemies). They were the main theme of the two Christmas event stages in 2006, and were available for free until the end of the Christmas event.
