Supernatural Grunts or Soldiers, where do I find them?
Dresdenus Prime:
Hello peoples!
For my current book, I am in need of some grunt workers in the Supernatural field, although I guess soldiers would be a more appropriate title for them. In my book they are pretty much scattered throughout the land as the empire/government/whatever's militia and backbone, so I need a force that is large and plentiful. I don't want to use Vamps, or wolves. There are the Norse mythological Einherjar, which could work, but I wanted to know if anyone else knew of anything that was similar to them? Thanks!
Quantus:
Trolls? Large and plentiful would indicate to me something that can reproduce quickly, and some brands of troll are like starfish: cut em in half and you get two. They are big, strong, durable as hell, and as intelligent (or not as you want them to be).
Zombies would work equally as well.
THE_ANGRY_GAMER:
Goblins and orcs would work, and be fresh, too, since you don't often see them in UF. The good thing about Orcs in particular is that they can be as competent as you need them to be.
Quantus:
non-wolf were creatures could be fun, like were-boars or something.
Homunculii (ie artificially created doll-people) would make a decent faceless armies of terror; they could be something that is grown in crops more than born, with little personal identity (a supernatural Clone Army).
Something with a Hivemind, could be a large-scale mind control thing.
Giant insects.
Flying Monkeys?

This to me screams of Cadmus and the dragon's teeth.
