Croatoa. It's a name that conjures up images both mysterious and fantastical. In Issue 5, be prepared to enter a new enchanted realm of supernatural danger, where myth becomes reality and ancient legends walk the earth. Croatoa is a place steeped in old magic, ruled and contested by witches, Red Caps, Fir Bolgs and the Tuatha de Dannan. Any hero who faces these creatures in the wooded depths of Croatoa will know the true meaning behind the title, "Forest of Dread."
Enemy groups in Croatoa are actually enemies of each other as well. For example, if a Tuatha de Dannan runs arcross a member of The Cabal, they will start attacking each other. Any damage caused by enemies will leech experience from a defeat.

Transfer Points
- None, Croatoa is only reachable via the Green Line monorail.
- The Croatoa Beacon location is (161.5, -32, -844), just west of War Witch.
Notes
- The Tuatha de Dannan villain group name is misspelled in the targetting window; it is spelled "Tuatha de Dannon." Everywhere else in the game and in the documentation, however, it is spelled Tuatha de Dannan.
- This zone was created as part of the release of Issue 5 on August 31, 2005.
- Croatoa is clearly an homage to "supernatural" towns like Salem, Massachusetts and the fictional Sleepy Hollow.
- The real-life origin of the word "Croatoa," particularly as used as the name of the zone, is from the story of the disappearance of the first Roanoake settlement in America, in which the only clue to the disappearance of the colonists was the word "Croatoa" carved into a tree at the former site of the settlement. Exactly what happened to the colonists is still a mystery.[1]
