IGN PC Games have posted an interview with the Shadows of Undrentide development team.

You've added a whole batch of new monsters too. Any favorites?

The FloodGate artists have done a very good job creating the new monsters for Shadows of Undrentide, and we are having lots of fun playing against them. My favorites have to be the ones that can turn the player into stone (a new effect for Shadows of Undrentide), such the cockatrice and basilisks; they become much more frightening when you know they can turn you into Greek art.

We also hear you've thrown in a new type of weapon -- like a medieval Molotov cocktail. Can you explain a bit about how these work?

Our grenade-like weapons are a lot of fun. Lower level parties can use them so they can do damage to creatures in the same way higher level magic spells can. We have a firebomb, a vile of holy water you can use on the undead, for thieves and archers we have caltrops to slow down pursuers, and tanglefoot bags that stop bad guys in their tracks, allowing archers to shoot them from a safe distance.
