Creature Types

Animals: Animals are mundane, non magical creatures that can be found in the real world (though some are slightly altered). They are a staple in the world's food chain. They come the variations of Domestics, Ferals, Docile Wilds, and Aggressive Wilds.
Beasts Magical creatures that inhabit the world they are powerful monsters that vary greatly from one to the next. there are Three categories of bests; Land Beasts, Air Beasts, and Water Beasts. As the names imply they inhabit and hold domain over the various terrains they inhabit. Though many are intelligent, none of them speak a human tongue.
Humanoids Humanoids are either Human themselves, or monsters that closely resemble humans and are closer to them than they are to beasts. Unlike beasts, Humanoids are able to hold weapons, ware armor, and set traps. Some of them speak a human tongue (usually humans themselves) but most speak their own language.
Monstrous Humanoids Humanoids which resemble monsters more than they do humans, these beings are often far superior than humanoids in certain areas, though they are usually not as well rounded the humanoids. These creatures can hold gear and equipment as humanoids, and many of them speak their own language though almost none speak any human tongue.
Undead As the name implies, Undead are monsters that are not of the living world. Some of them can carry weapons, but they do not often carry gear. Though most are humanoid in shape they can also be drawn from the dead of non humanoid monsters.

Game Combat and Dueling

An more specific look at combat. The way that LZ combat works is much like that of real live, you control how and where your character attacks (as well as if they activate their abilities) and how they try to avoid being attacked. The stats for each class will simply dictate the physical abilities of the character. Please bear in mind that if your character has low agility, the likelihood of them being able to dodge an attack is greatly decreased. For fighting monsters it is a bit more simplistic, but if someone gets in a fight with another Player Character you can simply refer to the stats of each class to understand the classes strong suits and weaknesses when facing off against anything. (especially other characters.)
As a side note, there is no required action needing to be taken in order to attack another character, it is simply done. However, bear in mind that killing other characters completely results in What is known as PK (or player killer) status, and your characters skin and eyes will glow a faint reddish color till the status wares off. (72 logged game hours after the kill took place.) Killing someone who has PK status does not grant the person who killed the PKer the same status. (If you end up killing a character who was attacking you, simply submit a report of the incident, an administrator or moderator will will check the action logs for the area and if it shows you are not at fault of attacking first, then you will have the status instantly removed from your character.)
When you have PK status, you will have worse interactions with NPC's, less deals at the shops (some shops will even refuse to do business with you) and depending, some guards will even attack you. (these are of course referring to upstanding and lawful NPC's. Certain evil or shadier NPC's may or may not have improved regard for you. )
By sending or accepting a duel request though, two characters can fight all the way to 0 HP and when the duel is finished, both participants return to the health, mana, and stamina they started with.
