{{Idea|Proposed as creatures no longer ordinary animals but living dispersal organs for the plague: they do not attack, but burst themselves when threatened, releasing a small cloudkill burst that infects anyone who dies within it.|heralds-a#18|heralds-a#37}}

=== Glacial Crawler ===
{{Idea|Proposed as a mortar-like siege creature that shells the edge of camp, and elsewhere as siege engines or creatures that batter [[Iceverf]]'s stone fortresses with magical ice; a later message describing that same fight names only gnolls and archer [[Winter Elves]], so its place in that scene is uncertain.|heralds-b#75|heralds-b#187}}

The Last Worm God is the third and final Worm God, killed after the other two; its body cannot rise, its spirit cannot depart, and its hunger cannot end, so it remains locked in a "half-digested" state. {{Src|heralds-a#39|heralds-a#40}}

=== Rakshasa (Gölge Diyarı bağlamında) ===

The Silver Dragon is bound to Laerel Reghart and Gavrim Deepdelver, and was a source of inspiration for Laerel. {{Src|last-winter#510|last-winter#514}} The Empress's close bond with the Silver Dragon is the inspiration for her status. {{Src|last-winter#574}}

=== Six-Armed Creature ===
A creature with six arms, claws longer than its own body, and a white film over its eyes was fought by the party; it could absorb fire and turn it into an attack. {{Src|heralds-b#446}} [[Elnaril]] was badly affected in the fight, [[Mila]]'s fire magic allowed an escape, and the creature was later destroyed within its own domain. {{Src|heralds-b#446}}

=== The Sleeping Clouds ===
{{Idea|Frozen pockets of [[Rules Appendix#Cloudkill|Cloudkill]] gas — not a creature but a hazard — left where a [[Smoker]]'s body has collapsed but its gas has not died, found in the city's pits, cellars, and sewer mouths; breaking one releases the gas and can reawaken old Smokers.|heralds-a#147}}

=== Vow-Leeches ===
{{Idea|A proposed swarm of pale, thin worms that crawl toward spoken oaths (such as "I swear" or "by the [[Minor Faiths and Orders#Aziz|Saint]]"); harmless at first, they "erase" the oath, causing loss of Inspiration or a blurring of the sworn bond or ideal.|heralds-a#40}}

=== Worm Gods ===
{{Idea|Proposed as celestial beings, possibly exiled, who consume entropy and decay; the Coiled Mosaic suggests the "serpent" does not swallow the sun but guards against something beyond it, implying the Worm Gods may have been celestial guardians rather than invaders.|heralds-a#42}}

=== Worm Priest Revenant ===
Once a cleric of Aenism, the Worm Priest Revenant is a corrupted mini-boss from the final battle; it casts necrotic divine magic, calls ghostly serpents from its mouth, and its "Devour the Circle" ability drains a target's magic to heal itself and turns the drained power into an attacking serpent. {{Src|heralds-a#39|heralds-a#40}}
