They're feared enough that ''nobody'' likes to talk about them, outright stating that the only thing tradition tells about them is that they would build huge platforms made entirely of piled up skulls. The memory of them is bad enough that simply being reminded that they existed with their war banner is enough to drive Balor apeshit.

* OffModel: The briefing pictures in ''Myth III'' are almost cartoonish at times. They were probably meant to be reminiscent of actual Medieval art style, but compared to the first two games it just looks cheap. The prerendered cutscenes have no such excuse; many are markedly worse than the in-mission graphics.
