Info

Foglets Considered part of the necrophage family, foglets are creatures gifted with powers of deception they use to haunt unpopulated and wild regions. With their control over fog, their ability to imitate human voices, and the pale light they emit from their bodies, they can lure unwary travelers off the beaten path and into bushes, swamps, or simply off mountain cliffs, feasting on their corpses after they die. Foglets are only mentioned in passing in the books, and so our artists had a great deal of freedom in giving them a visual identity. During work on these creatures we created many different drawings, though in the end we chose the one shown in the illustration on this page. 172 | 173
MONSTERS Ghouls Of all the monsters returning in The Witcher 3 from previous games in the series, ghouls have probably undergone the most change in terms of their appearance. The concept shown here combines the look of a deformed, degenerate humanoid with that of the hyena-like scavengers of our own world. The end result is a grotesque and unsettling four-legged creature. The ghoul’s front paws are fitted with massive claws with which it can dig up buried bodies, and its strong jaws are used to crush bones in order to better get at the marrow—its favorite treat.
