Enemy List

Enemies include monsters and hostile human classes. Select an enemy in the table for its statistics, traits and loot. The Horse entry is a mount and links to its existing transport page.

Reading the list

Figures are the game's defaults, with Meaner Monsters and the Enemy Expansion switched on.
An enemy's level, health and armour are rolled once when it spawns. Damage lists each blow of one attack. Lower armour is tougher.
Needs is the lowest weapon material that hurts the enemy at full strength. Under the Physical Combat overhaul a weaker weapon still hurts it, at 20% less damage for each step short, down to a tenth.
Enemies also scale with the place and your level; see Combat.
Traits an enemy can carry beyond its own are on Enemy traits, and the spells enemies cast on Enemy spells.

For heavy-attack shapes and wind-up times, see Telegraphed blows. Event bosses use the attack tables on their own articles.
