Monster	Location	Description	How it Attacks	What to Do
Animal	Unknown	A small six-legged monster at floor level	Usually harmless but can deal 2 HP damage if provoked.	You can lift it to force it to run away. Multiple players lifting it will freeze it for a few seconds.
Apex Predator (Duck)	Manor, Station, and Academy	A small baby duck	Follows a player around and transforms into a dangerous monster when picked up or damaged.	Generally, just avoid picking it up or damaging it. However, you can try getting it killed via the extraction piston for $3k by luring it to the station.
Banger	Manor	Skeletons that have dynamite sticking out their head	It slowly counts down or short fuses before exploding.	You can throw them away or at enemies before it explodes to deal damage.
Bowtie	Manor	A large white figure wearing a bowtie	It’s slow but screams at players when it spots one. It’ll only damage you if you’re pushed back into a wall via the screams.	You can attack it with melee or tranquilizer guns or stun grenades while it’s screaming.
Chef (Tumbler)	Academy	A frog-looking creature wearing a chef’s hat and holding two knives	Jumps at players in line of sight and wildly slices around.	The Frog gets staggered after it misses its attack and gets rag-dolled. You can use this time to escape.
Clown	Academy	A monster with big yellow shoes and a red nose	Charges a sweeping laser attack or kicks if it can’t use it. You’ll hear loud footsteps when it’s approaching.	One of the few monsters you can hit and attack while they’re stunned after firing their lasers. Otherwise, duck and hide behind cover.

Hidden	Manor	An invisible shadow that can only be spotted via its footprints	It drags players back to an area (usually the truck).	Generally harmless and simply annoying. It doesn’t deal damage, but if you don’t want to get dragged back to spawn, then be wary of its footsteps to avoid it.

Peeper / Ceiling Eye	Manor	A large eye usually attached to walls	Locks eyes with players and deals damage the longer you stare it.	Try to break line-of-sight by moving backwards or dodging behind cover.
Reaper	Station	A humanoid monster wearing a long robe/dress while wielding bladed weapons	It attacks if it spots you (short-sighted), and deals strong damage. It can also detect you while lifting something.	Easy to run away from because it’ll easily forget you if you run around a corner and hide. Attacking is not advisable.
Robe	Manor and Academy	A monster wearing long black robes and a white mask almost like a Studio Ghibli character	Chases and attacks players who stare at it. Usually slow when patrolling, but increases speed when spotting a player.	Break eye contact or LOS. If it’s chasing you, just hide somewhere.

Shadow Child	Station	A shadowy figure with a child’s face	Teleports around and causes your screen to darken. Will also yank players backward, which deals damage, if you stare at it for too long.	Unclear if you can kill it, but it seems not staring at it for too long is enough to avoid getting attacked.
Spewer	Witch Academy and Manor	A large floating head spewing green bile	Spits green bile at players it spots or attaches to their neck. If it attaches to a player, it’ll continuously spit green bile that damages nearby teammates.	Can be used to damage other monsters. You can also shake it off by grabbing and releasing it.
Trudge	Witch Academy and Station	A huge, armored monster with an elongated neck and skeleton head	Slow, but can one-shot players. It uses a pull mechanic before slamming its neck.	Avoid at all costs. If forced to fight, use mines. You can run away from it, but if it pulls you in, you’re as good as dead.
Upscream	Station	A four-armed creature with a humanoid head that crawls along floors and walls	Screams at players, which damages and stuns them. They’re more deadly when they attack in groups.	Try to kill them with melee attacks as fast as possible. Prevent them from grouping up.

Note: Stun Grenades can stun most enemies.

Tips

Running away is always an option for many monsters. Hiding under furniture is always a good option too unless they’re small-sized monsters.
Do not attack or pull enemies while hiding under furniture because it’ll give away your location.
Some enemies, like Robe, can shrink in size when attacked while hiding under furniture.
While you can technically attack any monster, it’s not advisable to do so on some high-threat ones, and it’s best to run away, hide from them, or stun them.
