Q14. What monsters are terrorizing the countryside sufficiently that if I kill them I will become famous?

He who slays Mhyrryss, the Broodmother, would be known throughout the Borderlands and word of such deed would spread through the empires. Mhyrryss is a wolf spider the size of a house who, accompanied by her endless brood of dog-to-horse-sized babies, controls a wide swathe of the Burntwood to the west of Candle Keep. She is said to fear the Keep's beacon flame and thus avoids the town.

There are rumors of a dragon to the north of the Keep. Two people have claimed to see a green-scaled dragon flying against the horizon; the first was during the Keep's construction but the second was only a few months ago. Of course, the dragons are all long dead, so if they saw anything at all it certainly was not a dragon.

Finally, caravan guards from Greyport shared tales of giant ants attacking their convoys along the roads to the southeast. They appear like lightning in vast numbers, physically overrunning the train of wagons and carrying off men, horses, and assorted goods.

This is to say nothing of what may be encountered in the dungeon.
