Just like Feyrist, Candia is not completely immune to the invasion of nightmare monsters from neighboring Roshamuul. However, unlike in Feyrist, the nightmares do not arrive in Candia unchanged: they have transformed and are now made entirely of sweets.
If retching horrors get from Roshamuul to Candia, they are changed into candy horrors. Their bulky bodies transform into solid chocolate dough, their spikes into raked cream meringue and candy canes grow where their horns once were. Candy horrors can also tear out these candy canes and throw them at their victims. They don't have to worry about losing them, though, because the candy canes grow back extremely quickly.
Candy Horrors have 3100 hitpoints. They cannot be paralysed. Moreover, they are strong against death, earth, fire and physical damage. On the other hand, they are weak against energy and holy damage. These creatures can neither be summoned nor convinced. In addition, they are able to sense invisible creatures.
Candy Horrors yield 2500 experience points. They carry gold coins, platinum coins and sometimes other items with them.
