The first contact with locals

NPCs are the characters that dwell in the game world. You can find them on various planets and the majority of them are staying in cities of the individual races or at smaller estates. They can usually offer a few lines of text but, there also are merchants among them, who can sell various items to you, as well as characters connected with missions. Each NPC is a representative of one of the races and is generated by the game, with the exception of several unique characters.

The monsters that dwell on planets are the basic opponents in the game. The majority of those monsters are generated by the game, thanks to which each planet has its own kinds of monsters. Their features depend on the level of the planet, its biome and its coordinates.

All the monsters come in two versions: Baby and Adult. The adult are the fully grown, most common, form. The younger monsters are the weaker versions of their adult counterparts and only in this form they can be caught and trained for your companions.
