Template name: kurgan_02_stats
Found throughout Aranna, the Kurgan are highly prized for their fur and thick skin. Using an extra pair of eyes, the Kurgan are able to see exceptionally well in both day and night. Though mostly nocturnal, many a traveler has been surprised by a pack of Kurgan in broad daylight.

The chance is for one kill of this creature (level 20 / 48 / 71 in Mercenary / Veteran / Elite) with magic find at 0: the chance that its drop table rolls an item of this kind, times this item’s share of the items that can come out at that level. Items with the same name are added up. Creatures of the same kind that the Bestiary lists under other names share the same drop table at their own level. Computed from the game’s drop tables, not measured. A source rolls the entries of its drop table; an entry asks the game’s item table for one item of the right class inside a level window; every matching item is equally likely (the game picks a random row, there is no rarity weight). Chance is per kill or per opening, with magic find at 0.
Where it is found
| Place | Placed | Spawned | Random encounters |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Aman'lu Hills | 14 | 7 | 6 |
| Northern Vai'lutra Forest | 4 | 3 |
Confidence: Medium From the game’s map files. How many random encounters you meet is a roll the data does not fix.
Does it count for the Bestiary?
Can be completed
Enough of them exist, or a scene or conversation gives the credit.
- Base game book
- No. 153
- Kills needed
- 5 kills
25 placed, 5 needed.
Confidence: High the audit of the data files, confirmed by the in-game kill test
In-game kill test: unlocked after 5 kills (agrees with the data audit)
Natural spawn census: seen in 9 of 10 runs, most in one region: 23. A lower bound; a run only loads the areas near the party.
Kill counts are kept separately for Mercenary, Veteran and Elite. See how the Bestiary works.
Broken World
