{{Monster navbox|{{Monstertype}}|{{Animals}}|{{SuperUniques}}}}Korlic is an [[Animals|Animal]]. | |||
Korlic is found on the Arreat Summit. He is one of the three statues who come to life to defend the entrance to the Worldstone Keep, and must be defeated to complete the [[Quests_Act_Five#Quest_Five:_Rite_of_Passage|Rite of Passage quest]]. Korlic wields a huge poleaxe and a devastating leap attack, and is more dangerous than [[Madawc]] or [[Talic]], the other two guardians. | Korlic is found on the Arreat Summit.

Prior to v1.09, Korlic and the other Ancients were much fiercer, since their benefits from the random [[Monster Modifiers]] they gained were uncapped, and enabled them to stack multiple immunities on Hell. Players were frequently forced to use a town portal to reset the level and try again and again until they "rerolled" properties on the Ancients that could be dealt with. Since v1.09, the maximum gains from random properties are capped, making the Ancients more predictable, less dangerous, and somewhat less fun. | [[Image:Mon-korlic01.jpg|frame|left]]Prior to v1.09, Korlic and the other Ancients were much fiercer, since their benefits from the random [[Monster Modifiers]] they gained were uncapped, and enabled them to stack multiple immunities on Hell.

Korlic was raised in the Henknoc jungles on the southern end of the barbarian kingdom. While the land that these barbarians lived in was lush and full of life, it was also full of danger beyond belief. Korlic was the leader of the Henknoc, protecting his people from the beasts they lived among. As a child he had managed to tame one of the more vicious animals called a Stalker. It was said that there must have been druid in his blood in order to perform such a task at such a young age. In his teens Korlic rescued a small child from a horde of giant spiders. The child turned out to be the son of a chieftain of an enemy tribe. Without thought or worry Korlic returned the boy home. While some say it was an act of stupidity, others say it was an act of courage. Which ever, it brought about an end to the conflicts between the two tribes. | Korlic was raised in the Henknoc jungles on the southern end of the barbarian kingdom.

When the Ancients summoned Korlic it was through the tribes Seer, his wife. She told him the Ancients had called upon him to protect that which must not fall, to protect Mt. Arreat. The honor was such that Korlic could not speak. Seeing this, his wife turned to the people of Henknoc and shouted, "My husband, your chief, has been chosen by the Ancients to guard sacred Mt. Arreat. In honor of this joyous occasion we shall celebrate until his departure." And they celebrated, for three days until Korlic left. On the final day, Korlic named his successor. He was the young boy, now a man, who Korlic had saved from the giant spiders so long ago. Korlic knew he would rule fairly and justly over both tribes. Finally, with all his worldly deeds complete, he ventured to the top of Arreat to begin his otherworldly quest of protecting the Worldstone for all eternity. | When the Ancients summoned Korlic it was through the tribes Seer, his wife.
