Shadowbeasts

Shadowbeasts are large, moose-like predators confirmed for Gothic 1 Remake. They are present in the Nyras Prologue demo's starting area and are one of the wildlife creatures Alkimia Interactive has shown in remake form before launch.

Combat

• Size and reach. Shadowbeasts are significantly larger than the average Colony creature, which gives them longer attack ranges and higher per-hit damage than scavenger-tier wildlife.

• Territorial. They hold specific patches of open ground and react aggressively to the Hero crossing into their space.

• Mid-game threat. Shadowbeasts are a realistic fight for a Hero with at least Trained-tier weapon skill, but are dangerous earlier on.

Where They Live

In the Nyras Prologue demo, Shadowbeasts can be seen around the plateau above the abandoned mine. The full-game placements have not been published in detail before launch, but Alkimia has confirmed them as part of the Colony's wildlife roster.
