The Cursed

"The Cursed" is a collective term for all sorts of creatures and critters on Qubus' Island.

“The Cursed” is a collective term for all sorts of creatures and critters on Qubus’ Island – mainly because the majority of these monsters are in fact other citizens who have been cursed (read more about curses here).
The place where avatars catch a curse determines the type of monster into which they are transformed. In the subterranean crypt of Count Vrykulas’ Haunted Mansion adventurers might be turned into a Coffingeek, where at a haunted mine they might be hexed into one of the gargantuan Stone Giants.
Players can direct their cursed avatars to every place on the island they see fit before the curse expires. However, to cross larger distances, they can only teleport to sites suitable for their current form; Coffingeeks for example can only teleport to another graveyard, bandits can only use Dens-of-Thieves as their destination. This is why players better keep their eyes open if such hazard-spots are set up near their village.

Unlike the free roaming Cursed, there are also various forms of critters, rarely leaving their lairs. These monsters are not represented by other players and roam their dungeons more erratically—but they are still dangerous opponents.
