Darkmantle Lore
Nature DV 6: A darkmantle has a small body and a large number of strong tentacles. It hides itself on walls and ceilings and drops on its foes to strangle them to death.
Nature DV 11: Darkmantles hang from ceilings using a muscular “foot” at the top of their bodies. They can look like a stalactite by holding their tentacles stiffly under themeselves, or like a lump of rock by spreading their tentacles so the membrane between them covers their bodies. Their shell and skin usually resemble limestone, but a darkmantle can change its color to match almost any type of stony background.
A darkmantle that misses its initial attack often climbs away and tries to drop on the opponent again if there is a conveniently placed wall. Otherwise, it tries to climb its opponent’s body to suffocate its head. Darkmantles move very slowly, so they rely heavily on stealth to ambush their foes.

Critical hit: If the attack result is also a critical hit against the target’s Brawn defense, the darkmantle controls the grapple.

Darkwraith Lore
Arcana DV 7: An darkwraith is a shadow disconnected from its host through strange umbramantic power. Its body loosely resembles a dark humanoid shape, with all details obscured. Despite its resemblance to a ghost, it is neither undead nor incorporeal. It instinctively seeks out sources of light and warmth, including most living creatures, to suppress their hated radiance.
Arcana DV 12: Darkwraiths bear an instinctive malevolence towards anything that brings light. Although they swarm around sources of warmth, they will not use damaging abilities unless provoked by light or damage. Darkwraiths cannot speak or make noise of any kind, though creatures around them seem to hear whispers anyway.

Death Knight Lore
Nature DV 7: A death knight is an undead monstrosity made from the fusion of a fallen horse and its rider. It charges ferociously into combat with the mindless aggression of a zombie and the mobility of a horse, making it a dangerous foe.
Nature DV 12: If a horse and rider die together and are left unburied on a battlefield, they can return as a death knight. Even if a proper burial is impossible, corpses of such bonded creatures should not be allowed to fester together.
