subject: Tibia Creatures, NPCs and Characters Introduction [print this page] The people and creatures who populate the world of Tibia divide into three different groups: characters, NPCs and creatures.
a) Creatures
The term creature comprises many different kinds of unpleasant life forms: from renegade humans such as amazons or black knights to ghastly undead such as vampires or ghouls, from dangerous wildlife such as wolves or bears to vicious monsters such as giant spiders or mighty dragons. Beside regular creatures you can encounter special monsters that appear rarely or only at a single location. So the world of Tibia is teeming with a large variety of species that make an adventurer's life difficult. However, characters earn experience points by killing creatures, so every adventurer who is worth his salt will sooner or later start hunting them. Don't worry about the biological diversity of Tibia: creatures have amazing reproductive abilities, and you can be sure that for every monster you kill another one will reappear sooner or later. However, note that creatures do not respawn in an area as long as characters are near. But be aware of monster raids! Sometimes creatures suddenly team up to a surprise attack on passing adventurers or even assault a city. You can find a comprehensive list of all creatures in our library section.
b) Non-Player Characters (NPCs)
The permanent inhabitants of Tibia are usually referred to as "non-player characters" or simply "NPCs". They are usually humanoid in appearance, but unlike characters they are always around, and they cannot be attacked. For the most part, NPCs are the good people who live in the villages and cities, but you can find them just about anywhere in Tibia. There are even some NPC monsters! Non-player characters can be helpful in many ways - they may trade with you, send you on quests or provide you with valuable information. Some NPCs will mark your automap with places of interest if you ask them to. Talking to NPCs takes place in the NPC channel .
c) Characters
All player avatars including your own are referred to as "characters". You can talk, trade, explore and sometimes even fight with other characters. Always keep in mind that a real person is behind every single character, so make sure to follow the Tibia Rules when dealing with other characters at all times. For further information please see the section on characters. Thanks for your reading ,hope this introduction can help you to know much more about the Tibia world !
