The Yerren are a type of monsters encountered in the later Orient (Act III). They are Beastmen and look like large Neanderthals with red-brown skin, and they also use the same type of 'monkey sounds'. Yerren warriors move around very fast and they can be dangerous in numbers, especially when accompanied by a hero.

All Yerren have basic resistances to Physical, Pierce and Fire attacks. In turn, nearly all of their attacks are of these damage types, too.

The Yerren are first met in the ruins of the Village of Guanzhong. However, Barmanu, a Neanderthal warlord encountered sometime ealier, is also actually a Yerren.

Types Edit

• Tribesman/Thunderfist. Basic melee fighters wielding a spear. Thunderfists are the higher level variant.
• Archer/Eagle-eye. Basic ranged fighters using a bow. Eagle-eyes are the higher level variant.
• Spiritspeaker (Champion). The Yerren spellcasters, adept in dealing fire damage. Before participating in battle, they usually protect themselves with an Energy Shield (which also gives some time to take them out). In battle, they use two fire spells in addition to regular staff attacks: The first one lobs three small boulders over a short distance, which deal direct fire damage. The second spell covers a small area in flames, which also deal direct fire damage (this spell is also used by Gorgon Profaners).
• War Chief (Champion). These dual-wielding melee fighters are easily distinguished by the yellow fur on their backs. They have a buff active, allowing them to deal extra Physical and Fire damage. They are also the only Yerrens to wear armor.

Heroes Edit

The Yerren heroes are very powerful melee fighters, based on the War Chief champion type. They use various skills from the Hunting, Warfare and Defense Masteries.

• Wolfbiter, Clan Hunt master - Yerren Hero
• Mountainstrider, Tribal Elder - Yerren Hero
• Swiftstream, Chieftain of the Five Clans - Yerren Hero

While Barmanu is depicted as a Neanderthal warlord, he's also actually a Yerren, found on a plateau beyond a cave on Tsongmo Peak.

Equipment Edit

War Chiefs and the heroes are the only Yerren to wear armor. There are three pieces of Yerren equipment:

• Yerren Garb
• Yerren Bracers
• Yerren Greaves

Background Edit

The Yeren (actually written with one 'r') or Chinese Wildman is a Chinese legendary creature, often described as monkey-man with reddish colored hair and a height of 6 to 8 feet (1.80 to 2.40 meter). Like Bigfoot, the Yeren is peaceful and will generally quietly walk away when encountering people in the Zhejiang province. - Wikipedia: Yeren
