Portraits

Behemoths and Ancient Behemoths are level 7 creatures of Stronghold town. They are recruited from the Behemoth Lair (while the external dwelling is Behemoth Crag). The attack of these giant creatures is so overwhelming it reduces their target's ability to mount further defenses. The attack of the Behemoth reduces target defense value by 40%. Ancient Behemoth attacks reduce it by 80%. The defense is reduced only for the behemoths attack, and is returned to normal immediately after that.
