One of the things that makes Darkfall unique is its mob and NPC AI. Unlike traditional MMORPGs, the creatures in the world of Agon use the same skills that players use and also drop appropriate loot (for example, killing a goblin will likely net you his sword and armor, and boars don't drop coin).
With the upcoming free expansion, the developers at Aventurine are further tweaking the game's PvE elements by adding additional monster skills to specific creatures. Laenih, Aventurine's community liaison, has all the details in a new post on the game's official forums. "Some existing monsters as well as new ones have already received their own abilities which we'll leave for you to discover. Additionally there will be more strategic interaction between monsters that spawn together," he writes.
You can get a glimpse of one of the new monster teams in the form of a video that showcases the Gorra Dar and Gorra Slaves. Check it out after the cut or on YouTube.

Lol someone greyed me out because i stated a fact?I didnt see any "unigue" skills or monsters almost every mmo out has a spider in it somewhere and 3 mmo's off the top of my head have burrowing sandworms=Warcraft,Guildwars and Fallen Earth.I also said the graphics looked good I wasnt dissing the game I was dissing their hype measures using "unique" but hey maybe I misinterpretted it and they meant that the monsters/skills were "unique" in comparison to the other monsters/skills in their game.

Great, more things to gang up on me to kill me.
Can they also see me from a mile away on the other side of a hill and still fire arrows at me? lol
Is this the update that is adding a better UI?

As far as I'm concerned, Darkfall is the best MMO no one seems to know about. It has a reputation for being a hard core, sandbox PVP game - but my experience (so far) has been focused on the PVE and exploration aspects; two places where this game really shines.

I highly recommend anyone remotely interested in something new, read that review.
