Aquator. Watch out, these enemies can weaken your armor!
Bat. Appears starting from the first floor. They're pushovers, and if that wasn't easy enough, they move randomly- i.e. not towards you.
Centaur. These guys appear around level 9. For the level, they deal a lot of damage. Consider yourself warned.
Dragon. Very, very strong monsters. Plus, they can shoot flames at you from long distances. And, immune to wands of fire.
Emu. You'll encounter emus on the first floor as well. They are pushovers as well.
venus Flytrap.
These enemies will freeze you in place, your only options to attack or die! Be very careful if other enemies are around.
Griffin. These guys mean trouble. Hard-hitting, powerful, fast. Beware.
Hobgoblin. This enemy appears on the first floor, but isn't as much of a pushover. Hobgoblins have a tendency to kill your first-level character. Be careful.
Ice monster. This loathsome creature appears around floor 2 (1 in monster rooms). It deals little damage, but if it hits you, you're frozen. There are 3 results: 1) You die, instantly, of hypothermia; 2) You freeze for a long time and a monster starts attacking you; 3) You freeze but recover. I highly suggest attacking ice monsters from a distance with projectiles.
Jabberwock. Strong with great endurance.
Kestrel. One of the first-floor enemies as well. They move more quickly than the rest, but that doesn't make them less of pushovers.
Leprechaun. A bit of a pickpocket- if a leprechaun hits you, he'll steal your gold. But if you defeat him, you get tons of it. They're gambles- unless you attack from afar.
Medusa. The Medusa will confuse you if you're not careful, causing you to move randomly. They're pretty tough attackers, too.
Nymph. Thought the gold-thieving leprechauns were bad? Nymphs steal items. Beware. Beware. But if you defeat them, you'll get an item.
Orc. Just your average monster, nothing special.
Phantom. These guys are invisible! And strong. Beware. Certain potions can make Phantoms visible to you.
Quagga. Pretty darn strong for the level. Use caution.
Rattlesnake. They deal quite a bit of damage for the third floor, but that's nothing compared to their other power. If they hit you, they reduce your strength by 1.
Snake. Also one of the first enemies. Also a pushover.
Troll. Really, really tough guys. Make sure to be well healed when you fight them.
black Unicorn. Strong. Powerful. Use caution.
Vampire. Average attackers, except that these guys can reduce your top hit points.
Wraith. Watch out- Wraiths might make you lose a level of experience if they hit you!
Xeroc. These annoying monsters disguise themselves as items. Just when you're happy to pick up an item, you might find that it's a Xeroc in disguise! Hint: Throw things at items you're suspicious of. It'll reveal whether it's a normal item...or a Xeroc.
Yeti. Averagely tough enemies, immune to wands of cold.
Zombie. Just a basic enemy, nothing seriously dangerous.
