Aside from the [[Hero|playable characters]] and [[minor characters]], there are plenty of magical creatures that exist in the world of ''Deadlock''. Many creatures arrived when the [[Astral Gates]] opened, some evolved from regular creatures due to the large influx of magic, and some creatures were present on Earth long before the first [[Maelstrom]]. | Aside from the [[Hero|playable characters]] and [[minor characters]], there are plenty of magical creatures that exist in the world of ''Deadlock''.

=== Lycanthropes === | |||
{{PageRef|name=Silver}} is a known lycanthrope, specifically a werewolf. She claims to have control over her lycanthropy,<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Silver|hero2=Haze|number=1}}</ref> although it's shown in-game that she actually can't control the transformation.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Silver}}'s in-game [[Silver/Quotes#Lycan Curse|voice line]] (use Lycan Curse): ''"I thought I had this under control!"''</ref> Silver has wolf ears and a tail in her human form, and it's currently unknown if this is common amongst werewolves. There is a headline in the [[The New York Oracle|New York Oracle]] about looking out for signs of Lycanthropy in your neighbours.<ref>[[The New York Oracle|Newscaster Headline 75]] - ''"Could your neighbor be a shapeshifter? Read all the tell-tale signs of lycanthropy."''</ref> | |||
On top of the wolf ears and tail, Silver also has a heightened sense of smell in her human form.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Silver|hero2=Bebop|number=2}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Silver}}'s in-game [[Silver/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed invisible Haze): ''"You can try to hide, Haze, but I can smell a fed a mile away."''</ref> | |||
According to Silver, wereotters exist.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Silver|hero2=Kelvin|number=2|hero_quote1=Silver|quote1=Is that... wereotter fur on the parka?}}</ref> | |||
Werewolf meat is currently a popular cuisine in France, causing controversy in New York over whether or not it's cannibalism.<ref>[[Newscaster|Newscaster headline 32]] - ''"Is eating werewolf meat cannibalism? We asked some of New York's elite chefs to get their take on the new dining trend that's taking Paris by storm."''</ref> | |||

It's implied that not all ghosts have their own bodies, instead opting to possess people or objects. Sinclair seems to be possessing a wooden mannequin, based on sound of their [[Sinclair/Sounds#Movement|footsteps]]. An 8-year-old concert pianist was suspected to be possessed by an 18th-century composer.<ref>[[Newscaster|Newscaster headline 31]] - ''"An 8 year old concert pianist dazzled audiences last night.

Or simply possessed by an 18th century composer?"''</ref> There was a trial regarding a botched exorcism which caused the spirit "inhuman suffering."<ref>[[Newscaster|Newscaster headline 43]] - ''"The Clansky trial has taken a dramatic turn today.

Vindicta calls herself a ghost for "simplicity's sake. | Not all spirits can interact with the living, as some graveyards are full of spirits who have unfinished business or demands left in the living world. As a necromancer, {{PageRef|name=Graves}} can communicate with the silent dead with the help of her lich mentor.<ref name=":1">{{PageRef|name=Graves}}' background</ref> Her job involves helping give the dead peace.<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Hidden King}}'s in-game [[Graves/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Graves start): ''"You work tirelessly to honour the dead and bring them peace.
