The following is a list of monsters that occur in the Avernum Series: [1]This list is not to be confused with the list of Sentient Races, such as Humans and Nephilim, and is provided elsewhere.


The list is broken up into several sub-categories below. Note: Some pages are listed in more than one category. This is because, some examples, such as the Nephilim, are examples of more than one subcategory. For instance, they are Feline in appearance, and also Humanoid. Similarly, Humans are both Humanoid (as they give the name to the category), and also Mammals.


Further Note: Later, pages will be added to this wiki about these creatures, with information such as the games that these can be found in, and will have links to these articles for references .

It is the job of the adventuring party (also known as the Surface Explorers (Avernum 3), to stop as many of these as possible, so that the Avernites can live on the surface, in Valorim.

The following is the list of Plagues:
