Values from game data unless a chip says otherwise.
- HPhit points · How much damage a unit can take before it dies. Damage that gets past its protection comes off hit points, and a unit at zero is dead. Big creatures usually have many more than ordinary soldiers. Full article
- 101
- PROTprotection · What stands between a unit and a blow, from its armour plus any natural protection of its own. The defender adds a DRN to it, and a hit wounds only when the damage total is higher, so a tie does nothing. Full article

- MORmorale · A unit's nerve. Fear, losses and a fallen commander test it, and a unit that fails can break and flee. Higher morale holds the line longer; blessings, items and good leaders can raise it. Full article
- 30
- MRmagic resistance · A unit's defence against spells that can be resisted. The target adds a DRN to it, the caster adds one to its penetration, and the caster wins a tie. Full article

- STRstrength · Added to the damage of a melee weapon on every hit, so a strong unit hurts more with the same weapon. Full article
- 24

Description
The Father of Monsters is a hideous being born at the dawn of time, when the sea was untamed and filled with monstrous beings. He is the progenitor of the monsters of the sea and he claimed dominion over the dangers of the deep. When the previous Pantokrator rose to power he banished or slew all that threatened his creation, and the Father of Monsters and his offspring were imprisoned for eternity. Now, with the Pantokrator gone, his shackles are weakening and the Monster that is the Sea once more threaten to swallow the world. The Father of Monsters wields an everburning torch made from lava from the deeper reaches of his realm. The Father of Monsters is able to leave the sea and can bring land-living beings with him into the sea.
