Many dangerous creatures populating the semi-historical world have been included on the flimsy premise I have no hard policy about what armies to include excepting that that they may fortuitously aid an army by eating their enemy. they should be interesting to build or play. Sometimes modest or mundane armies are presented as enemies for others. Where a source is detailed and includes a variety of troops it will be presented in that form, where the mythical or semi-historical source is Armies that are overwhelmingly comprised of powerful gods, perhaps scanty I have added some troops from the historical prototype.
