Araknids

Main Article: Araknids

Araknids are spiders that are found on Hell. Originally they are small, yellow, fast spiders that are easy to kill. But some araknids have been affected by the energy beam of an artifact and mutated to huge red or even gigantic yellow ones, that seem to be more intelligent than the small ones. See the main article for more details.

Bellow Fish

Bellow Fish are one of the species that was cut from the game. Their meshes, textures and an actor class are still in the game. The fish itself looked like a jellyfish, had five tentacles and was yellow colored. They probably lived in the Shian ocean and helped them in their battles. Their height was approximately half a human. Their animations (that are not viewable) are named Base (1 frame), HitGut01 (51 frame), RunFwrd01 (71 frame), Fall (41 frame) and FallDeath (41 frame). Their actor class contains no specific data.

Cyprid

A cyprid, how it could look and the mesh from above

Another unused animal. It seems that cyprids can not move, they are stationary. They appear cone-like, with the top of it being transcluent. They are small, not even high enough to reach a human's knee. They are colored red and blue. The mesh, the textures and the actor class is in the game. There are only two animations provided, the Base (1 frame) and the IdleWaitBreathe (81 frame). Their actor class contains no specific data.

Cockroach

Cockroaches of Unreal 2

Cockroaches are small bugs that are found running around in places people rarely check. They resemble the cockroaches of Earth. They are easily destroyable and cause no harm. Their actor class doesn't hold any code, except references to sounds and blood particles. Their animations are: Base (1 frame), IdleWaitBreathe01 (30 frames), IdleWaitBreathe02 (60 frames), IdleWaitBreathe03 (50 frames) and RunFwrd01 (10 frames).

Diver

A diver, seen in the mesh browser of UnrealEd

Divers are huge creatures, having the height of a human, and the wings length as four human arms. They aren't used in the game either. Their name suggests that they lived above the Shian ocean. They have two wings, four legs that look like tentacles, a strange head with four teeth and two horns. They have black skin. The divers can fly and dive into the ocean. They have a mesh, textures and an actor class that contains no specific information. The animations are: Base (1 frame), IdleWaitBreathe (40 frames), Fly01 (39 frames) and Fly2Dive (20 frames).

Flying Snake

Flying snakes are flying animals that are found on Severnaya. They are almost as big as a human and has big wings. The flying snakes have a tail that splits to two and a small tongue. Generally they look like snakes with wings and usually don't attack players, unless are shot. They can dodge, use melee and air attacks, land on the ground and jump. Their actor class doesn't give anything specific though. It comes with a junior class, U2FlyingSnakeCorpse, that has a mesh of bloody Flying Snake and a comment:

MWP (mdf) -- is this class really necessary -- can't the LDs set this up in the editor?

Hummer

Hummers are animals that live on Na Koja Abad. They have blue and yellow skin, only reach to a knee of a human, has two wings, a long beak (similar to the Earth's colibris) and one big eye. Overall they look similar to Flying Snakes of Severnaya. Hummers can fly and tend to attack Snipes, another animal living on Na Koja Abad. They sometimes attack humans as well. Hummer's actor class doesn't give any specific information about it.
