PEDES are big, nasty foes you will first run into around Crescent Lake. They dish out a lot of damage and can take a lot of hits, and just for good measure they're Poisonous, too. Magic won't do much to them, and they don't drop much Gold, so PEDES are just generally a pain. On the upside, they have low morale.
The Remora (or more accurately, a remorhaz) is a strange creature that resists both Fire and Ice. Don't worry, it makes sense to D&D players. They hit very hard and resist magic, and thus require a strong physical attack like so many other creatures. (That's kind of a theme at this stage of the game.)
