==White Dwarf #9==
They start listing Intelligence in this issue. [[Dohohoho|About time we saw some of that around here.]]

'''Svart:''' Blue-skinned, orange-eyed humanoids. They're Norse "Svart Alfar" like drow - so public-domain as far as the mere name goes; but instead of taking the drow route, these come by way of ''The Weirdstone of Brisingamen'' by Alan Garner. Supposedly they act as "the mediary between [[goblin]]s and [[kobold]]s" but face it, it's a naughty smurf. Root-stock for the later [[Xvart]], which still sucks.

'''Dokon:''' An intelligent talking ape that will not attack unless it is attacked or robbed first, in which case it will fight to avenge itself or recover its treasure. If it wasn't for the fact that this came out in Oct/Nov 1978, one might think that this was a Donkey Kong reference.

'''Imorph:''' A strange slime that slowly shapes itself into a duplicant of the individual it's fighting.

'''Nasnas:''' A bizarre monster that looks like a human somehow cleaved in half down the middle. [[wikipedia:Nasnas|From a weird bit of Arabian folklore.]]
