The denizens of Eidolon are as follows;

A Troll-like inhabitants are most often seen, and who seem quite content 
to let you pass, BUT be careful not to touch them as they drain the 
Eidolons power reserve.

The Biter Bird is quit different.  These creatures attack without 
provocation-although once or twice I have scared them away.

The Rotofly is less dangerous than annoying.

These various inhabitants appear to be attracted to the power of the 
Eidolon. Indeed,they seem to feed off the Eidolons energy.  Thus if one 
touches the device, the power is depleted.

FIREBALLS:

1. RED- The most destructive. When a red fireball strikes the Eidolon, 
its destructive energy drains the power. When I fire a red fireball at a 
creature it is thrown backwards and its powers temporary weakened.

2. GOLD- Gold fireballs recharge the Eidolons power to use simply 
approach and collect them.

3. BLUE- These fireballs alter the flow of time when you catch one the 
Eidolons clock lights with blue energry; and I gain time to explore.
Creatures struck by a blue f/b freeze in there tracks for a short time.

4. GREEN-These change any creature to a new one. There is no way to know 
if the new creature will be more or less dangerous.


Although the Eidolon is capable of making all the colors of fireballs, 
doing so quickly drains the power.


After getting past level one there are other odd inhabitants;

1) Puffer Birds-They can catch and blow the balls of energy back at you.

2) Grep-very curious and alert, also very unpredictable.

3)Bottleneck-very dangerous.

There are seven levels and if you get to the seventh level there is one 
last dragon of many heads to fight.

HELPFUL HINTS:

 Red Fireballs are deadly! to avoid them, try to move out of there way 
or shoot a Red Fireball at them to change them to a GOLD Fireball.

 When you have defeated the guardians and collected as many jewels as 
you can approach the energy barrier in front of the dragon. When you 
have defeated the dragon, the gate behind him will open and you can go 
the next level

 To replenish the  Eidolon's  energy reserves, capture as mane Gold 
Fireballs as you can.

 DO NOT LET YOU'R TIME RUN OUT after you get past the first level or you 
will go back to level 1 if you "kill" yourself you will stay on the 
level you are at.

 To kill most of the guardians it takes 3 red fireballs.  Some may take 
less or more.

 To find the jewels you must kill the guardians they will turn into the 
jewels.

 To kill the DRAGON on the first level it takes 3-4 RED FIREBALLS.

 YOU can take energy and jewels to the next level with you, you start 
each new level with however much energy you had leftover from the last.

 To kill the DRAGON on level 2 use three GOLD FIREBALLS.


  I Hope that these doc's are of help to you.
