The Flowstone Chargers are ferocious creatures and a great addition to any Stone Master's collection of flowstone creatures. One of the great things about this creature is its versatility. With a single command from the Stone Master, the Charger can turn from a defensive creature into an offensive one. A command tactic is for a defensive Charger to withstand the first set of attacks from a target before transforming into an offensive Charger once the target gets close enough. Fortunately, the creature has enough intelligence to see opportunities for it to transform on its own, so it does not always have to rely on the Stone Master for instructions.


Flowstone Crusher

The Flowstone Crusher is the closest thing to a flowstone tank available to the Stone Master. It is dedicated to brute strength and, as its name would suggest, crushing its targets. It is a large creature, although still no where near the size of a Flowstone Shambler, but matching its immense strength. When used in large numbers, a group of Crushers is as unstoppable as a group of modern tanks. Unlike the other flowstone creatures, the Flowstone Crusher does not have any special abilities besides its immense strength and durability.


Flowstone Golem

The Flowstone Golems are the basic fighting force of a Stone Master that specializes in Flowstone Magic. These simple minded troops operate identically to normal golems, except they are made from magical flowstone, giving them additional strength and protection. The Flowstone Golem has the ability to increase its size and strength, but by doing so, it becomes much easier to destroy and can even damage itself when it moves.


Flowstone Hellion

The Flowstone Hellion is a huge and powerful creature. Its long, multi-tentacle body is incredibly powerful and its keen intelligence would make it a formidable foe even without its physical strength. The creature has a large and complex brain that allow it to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, which allows it to direct each of its many tentacles against different targets at the same time. The one weakness of the Flowstone Hellion is its relatively slow movement and its weakness against physical attacks. Fortunately for a Stone Master, most opponents that face a Flowstone Hellion do not last long enough to take advantage of its weaknesses.


Flowstone Mauler

With the sole exception of the Flowstone Hellion, the Mauler is the most powerful Flowstone Creature available to a Stone Master. Like the Flowstone Crusher, the mauler has no special abilities beyond its incredible combat abilities and an increased rate of regeneration. The mauler is truly the perfect companion for any Stone Master. The mauler's high intelligence allows it to plan complex strategies, follow detailed instructions, and recognize different targets from past experiences.


Flowstone Overseer

The Flowstone Overseer is unique among the flowstone creatures because it possesses near Human-like intelligence and is capable of formulating complex plans and strategies. As such, it is often used as a personal assistant to many Stone Masters and its ability to command and direct other flowstone creatures, allowing a Stone Master to create even more flowstone creatures, make it a prized part of any flowstone creature army. Not too formidable in personal combat, the Overseer prefers to hang back while the creatures under its control do all of the necessary fighting.


Flowstone Salamander

The Flowstone Salamander is an interesting creature, even though the Stone Master specializes in stone and the earth, the Salamander is a creature that specializes in fire and heat. With its fire abilities, the Salamander provides the Stone Master with an additional edge that many enemies may not be expecting. While still not very intelligent, the Salamander is slightly smarter then the average Golem and can determine that it should attack an enemy attacking its master, even if it has not been ordered to attack.


Flowstone Shambler

The Flowstone Shambler is a large, lumbering form of land transportation available to a Stone Master that specializes in Flowstone Magic. The Stone Master, along with several companions, travels inside the belly of the giant creature, while the creature will travel across the countryside at its own pace. Initially considered a leisurely way to travel, the Atlanteans quickly learned that a large number of troops protected within the bellies of the Shamblers can move across great distances more easily then conventional means.


Flowstone Wyvern

The Flowstone Wyvern is the only flowstone creature that can fly. While this may seem strange, having a creature made of very dense, magical stone that can fly, it does allow for some very interesting abilities and tactics, such as a dive bomb attack. While not as powerful in combat as the Flowstone Mauler, these creatures have a versatility that is virtually unmatched. Each Wyvern is as intelligent as a Flowstone Mauler and is capable of created strategies and remembering previous targets.
