You will learn to hate Shadows in the areas around Melmond and the Terra Cavern, as they appear often, in large groups, and almost always ambush the party. They're not terribly dangerous, but their Darkness-inducing attacks are annoying, and they will chip away at your HP as you travel the land. The Ghouls and Ghasts are a welcome reprieve in comparison. There are two new enemies that will appear here, but neither is anything to be worried about. Hyenadons appear with Ogres and are actually a bit more dangerous, and should probably be taken out first. Lesser Tigers are like slightly tougher Hyenadons, except with a pretty good crit rate for a Monster.
