Animal

Threat Level: Low

The swift but weak Animal offers minimal challenge. It poses little threat and is easily dispatched.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

Unless provoked, the Apex Predator is harmless. For an easy profit, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it with the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

This explosive enemy charges and detonates upon detection or attack. The safest tactic is to pick it up and toss it into water, lava, or acid. Bangs can also be used to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

Bowties emit a debilitating scream that hinders movement and pushes players back. However, their slow speed and immobility during their scream make them vulnerable to attacks. Stealth is key.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's attacks are predictable. Dodge its knife slashes to exploit its momentary imbalance.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is a formidable foe wielding a height-adjusting laser and a powerful melee charge. Its laser attack leaves it briefly stunned, providing a window for counterattack or escape.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes travel in groups, prioritizing loot destruction over player harm. Their weakness allows for easy elimination by picking them up and slamming them against a surface.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The floating Headman is largely non-aggressive unless provoked by light.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

This black smoke entity stuns players and causes item drops, often pulling victims toward other enemies. Its elusive nature makes avoidance preferable to combat.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts violently to sound, unleashing a potentially fatal shotgun blast. Its predictable patrol route allows for easy evasion. Direct confrontation is discouraged.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

This alien-like entity levitates nearby objects before slamming them down. Its teleportation ability makes evasion challenging, but it's vulnerable to melee attacks. Teamwork can help break the anti-gravity field.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

Slow, deaf, and with a limited chase range, the Reaper is easily avoided. Ranged weaponry is most effective.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is fast, aggressive, and its speed increases dramatically if directly observed. Avoid eye contact and hide until it leaves. Direct combat is ill-advised due to its high health.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

While seemingly harmless, Rugrat throws valuable items if spotted. Avoidance is recommended, as eliminating it requires significant effort.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

This tadpole-like enemy chases and vomits, potentially damaging players and items. Grabbing and shaking it will cause it to flee.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its creepy appearance, the Shadow Child has extremely low health, making it easily eliminated with most attacks.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge's slow speed is offset by its deadly mace attack and ability to pull players from cover. Avoidance is the best strategy.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams attack in groups, grabbing and throwing players. While vulnerable to most attacks, the tranq gun proves particularly effective for stunning and eliminating them.
