Bestiary Hub

Every creature that stalks Aeternum belongs to one of eight great families. This hub sorts them by kind and by the level band where you will meet them — from the shades that haunt Ashwood Grove to the sovereigns that wait beyond the Rift. Use it to plan a farming route, match your enchantments to a family's weakness, and know what loot to expect before you draw a blade.

Monster Families

Level Bands

Aeternum is divided into five progression bands. Fight within roughly five levels of your own for the best experience-to-risk ratio, and step up a band only once your gear rarity keeps pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many monster families are there?

Eight overarching families — Beasts & Vermin, Undead, Elementals, Demons & Infernals, Aberrations & Void, Dragons, Humanoids & Cursed, and World Bosses. Each spans multiple regions and level bands from 1 to 100.

What level should I be to farm each family?

Beasts and Humanoids cover the early bands (1–22). Elementals and Undead sit in the mid game (18–65). Demons, Dragons, Aberrations and World Bosses are endgame (58–100). Fight within about five levels of your own for the best XP-to-risk ratio.

Which monsters drop the best gear?

Named and boss monsters carry exclusive Epic and Legendary drops. Regular monsters mostly drop crafting materials and Common-to-Rare gear. Corrupted variants raise the drop-rate of higher rarities by 10–75% depending on corruption tier.

What is a Corrupted monster?

A red-aura variant of a normal monster with inflated stats and bonus rewards. Corruption spreads from active zones every six hours across four tiers: Tainted, Corrupted, Defiled and Abyssal.

Do vampires and werewolves fight different monsters?

Both races roam the same open world and face the same PvE families. The difference is damage typing: Silver is strong against vampire-type enemies, Wolfsbane against werewolf-type enemies, and Holy against undead and demons.

Where do I find world bosses?

They spawn at fixed named locations and specific dungeon floors on a timer, have multiple phases, enrage at 20% health, and drop set pieces and Mythic runes. Bring a full group and endgame gear.

What are elemental weaknesses?

Each family resists some damage types and takes bonus damage from others — for example, Wyverns are immune to fire but take +35% from cold. Match your weapon enchantment to the family you are farming.

Are drops shared across a family?

Common crafting materials are shared within a family, but named-monster and boss-exclusive drops are unique to that encounter. Check the drop tables for exact per-monster loot.

How do habitats affect farming?

Each family occupies specific biomes — grove, fens, peaks, coast, necropolis, citadel and rift. Traveling costs stamina, so cluster your farming routes by habitat and match your level band to the region.

Where can I see stats for a single monster?

This hub is a family-level overview. For per-monster stats, weaknesses and full loot, open the detailed Monster Bestiary and the Drop Tables reference.
