A foe's ancestry does not cover only their specific species; for many foes, ancestry places them within a larger group. Foes with the Beast ancestry, for example, could range from reptiles to mammals to dinosaurs, but all are found within the Beast ancestry. Similarly, the Corporeal Undead ancestry includes creatures of all species, provided that they can be animated by the sort of unclean spirits that produces a Corporeal Undead.

Another way in which foes' ancestries vary from those of player characters is that each such ancestry lists a number of features. Sometimes, these features are limited to one per level, leaving the designer no choices; other times, a wide assortment is available for selection. As is normal for features, the Director can always choose a lower-level feature to place in a higher-level slot.

Foes receive one Ancestry feature at each level.
