While most enemies have seen few changes since Shattered branched off of the original PD, most of them have had their stats or behavior tweaked.

General AI changes

Enemies will now attempt to replicate their victim's exact footsteps when chasing them, even if that is not the shortest path to the target. This change makes it much easier to kite them and escape or reposition the fight.

Sewers enemies

Marsupial rat

Marsupial Rat gif
Marsupial Rat
Marsupial rats are aggressive but rather weak denizens of the sewers. They have a nasty bite, but are only life threatening in large numbers.

Rat is the basic sewer enemies with no unique abilities or remarkable stats.

Albino rat

A rare variant of rat with higher health. Can cause bleeding for damage dealt on hit with 50% chance.

It drops a mystery meat when defeated.

Sewer snake

Snake
Sewer Snake
These oversized serpents are capable of quickly slithering around blows, making them quite hard to hit. Magical attacks or surprise attacks are capable of catching them off-guard however.

You can perform a surprise attack by attacking while out of the snake's vision. One way is to let a snake chase you through a doorway and then strike just as it moves into the door.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
4 0 10 25 1 - 4 2 7 -

Snake has less health than a rat, but MUCH higher evasion (actually comparable to lategame enemies). This makes it very difficult to hit it without using surprise attack or wands.

You can surprise it by hiding behind doors, attacking with ranged weapon before it notices you or using a cloak of Shadows) if you are the rogue. It can be also easly dispatched with a wand. If none of this options is possible, harmful scrolls/potions/seeds will do the job as well.

Has a 25% chance to drop a random seed when defeated.

Gnoll scout

Gnoll Scout gif
Gnoll Scout
Gnolls are hyena-like humanoids. They dwell in sewers and dungeons, venturing up to raid the surface from time to time. Gnoll scouts are regular members of their pack, they are not as strong as brutes and not as intelligent as shamans.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
12 2 10 4 1 - 6 2 8 -

Like sewer rats, gnoll scouts are just a basic, yet slightly sturdier enemies.

Gnoll scouts have a 50% chance to drop gold on death.

Sewer crab

Sewer Crab gif
Sewer Crab
These huge crabs are at the top of the food chain in the sewers. They are extremely fast and their thick carapace can withstand heavy blows.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
15 4 12 5 1 - 7 4 9 -

Crab has quite high health, hery high armor for early game and deals the highest raw damage out ouf all Sewers creatures. It also moves twice as fast as the Hero, making ranged weapons or surprise attack more difficult to use.

You should equip T2 weapon and armor before entering depth 3 where it can spawn if possible. If not, try avoiding this enemy or using harmful potions/scrolls against it.

Has a 16.7% (16) chance to drop mystery meat when defeated.

Slime

Slime gif
Slime
Slimes are strange, slightly magical creatures with a rubbery outer body and a liquid core. The city sewers provide them with an ample supply of water and nutrients.

Because of their elastic outer membrane, it is difficult to deal more than 6 damage to slimes from any one attack.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
20 0 12 5 2 - 5 4 9 -

Slime reduce taken damage, making it difficult to defeat them with few hits. Any damage taken greater than 5 is reduced by the following formula:

In other words, the damage it will actually take based on the damage the Hero deals looks like this.

7 10 14 19 25 32 40 49 59 70 82 95 109 124 140
6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Unlkie armor, which works best against low damage attacks, this form of damage reduction is most effective against high damage attacks. As you can see from the table above, you would need a 140 damage hit to one-shot this enemy and with weapons avalible in the sewers you will likely need at least 5 hits to kill it. Most instant kill methods won't be very effective against it as they deal damage equal to creature's health which will, in this case, be significantly reduced. However, DoT effects are quite powerful against it as they deal per tick is quite low and therefore not subjected to damage reduction. Just remember it's resistant to corrosion and immune to cautic ooze.

It has a 20% chance to drop random T2 weapon. The chance is reduced by 12 for every weapon obtained from this enemy so far to prevent farming.

Caustic slime

Caustic slime gif
Caustic Slime
This slime seems to have been tainted by the dark magic emanating from below. It has lost its usual green color, and drips with caustic ooze.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
20 0 12 5 2 - 5 4 9 Acidic

Cautic slime is a rare version of regular slime. It has 50% chance to apply cautic ooze on hit. It is therefore a good idea to stand in water while fighting this enemy to get rid of the debuff easily.

Caustic slime drops a single blob of Goo when defeated.

Swarm of flies

Swarm gif
Swarm of Flies
The deadly swarm of flies buzzes angrily. Every non-magical attack will split it into two smaller but equally dangerous swarms.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
50 0 10 5 1 - 4 3 9 Flying

Swarm of flies has significantly higher health than any other sewer enemy. After taking physical damage, it splits into two copies – each with half as much health – if there is an empty tile next to it in cardinal directions. If there is no valid space, splitting is skipped.

Try luring this enemy into a hallway before fighting it to ensure your Hero won't get surrounded. Wands aren't very effective against it, unless you make it split a few times and use wand that can harm multiple enemies.

It has a 16.7% (16) chance to drop a potion of healing, decreasing every time it splits (to 17, 18, etc). This chance is reduced for every dropped potion obtained this way. Swarms of flies can drop up to 5 potions in total per game. You might to want split the swarm as many times as possible to increase your chance of getting the potion. However, due to the drop cap it's not feasible to use it for potion farming like in vanilla.

 Prison enemies

Skeleton

Skeleton gif
Skeleton
Skeletons are composed of corpses bones from unlucky adventurers and inhabitants of the dungeon, animated by emanations of evil magic from the depths below. After they have been damaged enough, they disintegrate in an explosion of bones.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
25 5 12 9 2 - 10 5 10 Undead

Skeleton is the most common prison enemy. When it dies, it explodes, dealing 6 to 12 damage to anything in a 3x3 area. Armor is twice as effective against damage dealt by this enemy.

When entering the prison you should have an armor that blocks at least 4 dmg on average to reliably protect you from the explosion unless you have a way to kill the skeleton before it gets to you.

It has a 16.67 % chance to drop a weapon piece. The chance is reduced by 12 for every weapon obtained from this enemy so far to prevent farming.

Crazy thief

Thief Green gif
Crazy Thief
Though these inmates roam free of their cells, this place is still their prison. Over time, this place has taken their minds as well as their freedom. Long ago, these crazy thieves and bandits have forgotten who they are and why they steal.

These enemies are more likely to steal and run than they are to fight. Make sure to keep them in sight, or you might never see your stolen item again.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
20 3 12 12 1 - 10 5 10 Undead

This enemy attacks twice per turn and attempts to steal an item from player's inventory with each attack.

  • It cannot steal unique or upgraded items.
  • Trying to steal a honeypot causes the pot to shatter and a golden bee will spawn to attack the thief.
  • If the thief steals an item in a stack, they will take only 1 item of this type from it.

After successfully stealing an item, thieves try to run away from the Hero. However, they only move at 56 speed while holding an item, making it easier to catch up or corner them. Getting hit while running away causes them to drop a single gold coin.

It drops the stolen item when defeated. However, if they manage to get out of the Hero's FOV for several turns, they teleport and the stolen item is lost. It also has a 3% chance to drop a random ring or artifact. TThe chance is reduced by 23 for every ring or artifact obtained from this enemy so far to prevent farming.

Crazy bandit

Thief Purple gif
Crazy Bandit
Though these inmates roam free of their cells, this place is still their prison. Over time, this place has taken their minds as well as their freedom. Long ago, these crazy thieves and bandits have forgotten who they are and why they steal.

These enemies are more likely to steal and run than they are to fight. Make sure to keep them in sight, or you might never see your stolen item again.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
20 3 12 12 1 - 10 5 10 Undead

A rare variant of the crazy thief. On successful steal cripples for 3 to 8 turns, poisons for 5 to 7 turns and blinds the Hero for 2 to 5 turns.

Has the same drops as it's common variant, however initial ring/artifact drop chance is 100%.

Necromancer

Necromancer gif
Necromancer
These apprentice dark mages have flocked to the prison, as it is the perfect place to practise their evil craft.

Necromancers will summon and empower skeletons to fight for them. Killing the necromancer will also kill the skeleton it summons.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
35 0 - 5 - 13 - 7 14 Undead

Unlike almost every other enemy, the necromancers are unable to directly attack their target. Instead, they summon a skeleton to fight for them; they can also heal it and grant buffs.

The summoning spell takes one turn to cast. If the tile on which a skeleton should appeared is occupied, any character on that tile is pushed away. Skeleton summoned by the necromancer appears with 20 HP out of 25, has a darker color than normal skeletons and drops nothing when defeated.

If a skeleton is already summoned, necromancer heals it instead. The healing spell restores restores 5 HP and can pass through characters between the necromancer and its skeleton. It also applies adrenaline buff for 3 turns to a skeleton on full HP.

It has a 20% (15) chance to drop a potion of healing. The chance is reduced for every previously dropped potion to prevent farming. Necromancers can drop up to 6 potions in total per game.

Prison guard

Prison Guard
Prison Guard
Once keepers of the prison, these guards have long since become no different than the inmates. They shamble like zombies, brainlessly roaming through the halls in search of anything out of place, like you!

They carry chains around their hip, possibly used to pull in enemies to close range.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
40 0 - 7 12 10 4 - 12 7 14 Undead

Prison guard has the highest stats of all prison enemies, which makes it very hard to kill especially on earlier floors. It also has a 1-time use chain pull move, which will bring the Hero to melee distance and cripple for a few turns, which make it very difficult to use ranged weapons against it. This takes no time to execute allowing the guard to attack the Hero right after pulling it. The chain cannot pull things into chasms, however it can chain you into an identified trap.

Consider using harmful scrolls/potions/seeds against this enemy if your gear isn't strong enough. Just be careful with harmful plants and blobs as you can get pulled into them.

It has a 20% chance to drop a random armor piece when defeated. The chance is reduced by 12 for every armor piece obtained from this enemy so far to prevent farming.

DM-100

DM-100
The DM-100 is an early model of dwarven 'defense machine' which was designed to protect dwarven miners in the caves below this prison. Their electrical shocks proved too weak however, and so they were gifted to the human prison above. The warden initially deemed them too cruel to use, but as the prisoners became more unruly they became a necessity.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP cap Properties
20 0 - 4 11 8 Melee: 2 - 8

Magic: 3 - 10

6 13 Inorganic, Electric

This enemy resembles vanilla gnoll shaman, just with different name and sprite and slightly modified stats. It attacks from distance using lightning bolts whenever its target is not in melee range, dealing 3-10 magic damage. This lightning attack doesn't arc to adjacent characters nor gets more powerful in the water.

It has 33% chance to drop a random scroll when defeated.

Caves enemies

Vampire bat

Vampire Bat gif
Vampire Bat
These brisk and tenacious inhabitants of the caves are much more dangerous than they seem. They replenish their health with each successful attack, which allows them to defeat much larger opponents.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
30 0 - 4 16 15 5 - 15 7 15 Flying

The most common enemy in caves that occasionaly spawns in prison as well. After this enemy attacks, it heals itself for (damage - 4) HP. It can also fly and moves two tiles per turn, making ranged weapons and surprise attacks more difficult to use against it.

This makes it nearly impossible to kill without a good enough melee weapon or armor as it can heal faster than the hero can damage it. Armor that blocks at least 6 dmg is needed to reliably prevent its healing.

It has a 16.67% (16) chance to drop a potion of healing. The chance is reduced for every previously dropped potion to prevent farming. Bats can drop up to 7 potions in total per game.

Gnoll brute

Gnoll Brute gif
Gnoll Brute
Brutes are the largest, strongest, and toughest of all gnolls. When mortally wounded, they go berserk, gaining temporary shielding and a large boost to damage.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
40 0 - 8 20 15 5 - 25; 15-40 when enraged 8 15 -

When brute's health is reduced to 0, it becomes enraged. This doesn't happen if it's killed by falling or if corruption enchantment procs on it's death.

Amok
Brute Rage
A surge of physical power, adrenaline enhanced both attack and movement speed.

This gnoll brute is dying, but wants to take you with it!\n\nThe brute will die when its shielding wears off, either due to time or if it is damaged. In the meantime, it will deal hugely increased damage, so watch out!

Shield remaining: X

When enraged, it gains 24 points of shielding, becomes immune to terror and its damage increases greatly. However, it loses 4 shield points every turn and therefore dies 6 turns after it enters this state. To avoid taking a hit from an enraged brute you can usually just run from it until it dies for good.

It has a 50% chance to drop a pile of gold when defeated.

Armored brute

Shielded Brute gif
Gnoll Brute
Brutes are the largest, strongest, and toughest of all gnolls. When mortally wounded, they go berserk, gaining temporary shielding and a large boost to damage.
HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
40 6 - 10 20 20 5 - 25; 15-40 when raging 8 15 -

A rare variant of gnoll brute with much higher armor. It gains the same shielding when raging, but it only looses one shield point every 3 turns and can therefore survive for 72 turns before dying for good. If you don't want to fight it when enraged, get out of its FOV and hope you won't stumble upon it again before it dies.

It drops a random mail armor(34 chance) or plate armor(14 chance) when defeated.

Gnoll shaman

In Shattered PD gnoll shamans only appear in the Caves and are much stronger than in vanilla. They cast magic bolts when their targets are not in melee range, effects of which depend on the color of the mask they are wearing.

DM-200

DM200 gif
DM-200
The DM-200 is the second generation of dwarven 'defense machine', which was designed to protect dwarven miners in the caves and city below. They are much larger and bulkier than their predecessors, and attack with devastating hydraulic fists.

Their increased size is also their primary weakness, as they are unable to fit into the narrow tunnels and doorways of the dungeon. The dwarves were able to compensate for the DM-200's lack of mobility by allowing them to vent their toxic exhaust fumes at distant enemies, or enemies they cannot reach.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage Exp EXP Cap Properties
0 - 70 8 25 8 10-25 9 17 Large, Inorganic

This enemy can use gas attack againts targets it cannot reach, creating 100 units of toxic gas on each tile on the path to the target's position with a 30 turn cooldown.

DM-201

DM201 gif
DM-201
The dwarves briefly experimented with more heavily emphasizing the DM-200's lack of mobility and created some DM models that are entirely stationary. The DM-201 is a retrofitted DM-200 which acts as a sentry turret that has no movement ability. In exchange for the lack of mobility, DM-201s have significantly more durability and attacking power.

As DM-201s have no engine to vent exhaust from, the dwarves instead outfitted them with corrosive gas grenades! DM-201s are careful with these grenades however, and will only lob them when attacked from a distance.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage Exp EXP Cap Properties
120 0 - 8 25 8 15-25 9 17 Immovable, Inorganic, Large

A rare version of DM-200. This enemy is immobile, but uses ranged attack which creates corrosive gas at enemy position and around it dealing 8 damage initially.

It drops a cursed metal shard when defeated.

Dwarven Metropolis enemies 

Dwarven ghoul

Dwarven ghoul gif
Dwarven Ghoul
As dwarven society slowly began to collapse, and the current king of the dwarves seized absolute power, those who were weak or who resisted him were not treated well. As the king grew more adept at wielding dark magic, he bent these dwarves to his will, and now they make up the footsoldiers of his army.

Ghouls are not especially strong on their own, but always travel in groups and are much harder to kill in large numbers. When a ghoul is defeated, it will rise again after a few turns as long as another ghoul is nearby.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
45 0 - 4 24 20 16-22 5 20 Undead

The most common enemy in dwarven city that occasionaly spawns in caves as well. While ghouls have lower HP than other city enemies, they make up for it by always moving through the dungeon in pairs.

A ghoul won't die immediately after getting its HP reduced to 0 as long as there is another ghoul in its FOV. Instead, they will kneel and wait until they recover. This doesn't happen if it is corrupted or killed by a chasm. It rises back to life with X HP after 5 turns, increasing by 5 every time it rises. When it is defeated for good, it drops a pile of gold.

As the dwarves' interests shifted from engineering to arcane arts, warlocks came to power in the city. They started with elemental magic, but soon switched to demonology and necromancy. The strongest of these warlocks seized the throne of the dwarven city, and his cohorts were allowed to continue practising their dark magic, so long as they surrendered their free will to him.

These warlocks possess powerful disruptive magic, and are able to temporarily hinder the upgrade magic applied to your equipment. The more upgraded an item is, the more strongly it will be affected.

This enemy attacks at double speed. If it's at least 3 tiles away from it's target it will leap at target's location. This attack is telegraphed giving the Hero 1 turn to move away. If the demon leaps onto it's target, it causes bleeding for 75% of it's attack damage. It doesn't spawn naturally, only from demon spawners. Their enemy cap per level is separate from the one used for regular enemies.

Demon spawner

Demon spawner gif
Demon Spawner
This twisting amalgam of dwarven flesh is responsible for creating ripper demons from the dwarves that have died in this region. Clearly the demons see no issue with using every resource they can against their enemies.

While visually terrifying, demon spawners have no means of moving or directly defending themselves. Their considerable mass makes them hard to kill quickly however, and they will spawn ripper demons more quickly when they are under threat.

Demon spawners seem to be connected to some central source of demonic power. Killing them may weaken it.

HP Armor Accuracy Evasion Damage EXP EXP Cap Properties
120 0 - 12 - 0 - 25 29 Immovable, Miniboss, Demonic

You can find this enemy in a unique room type, one per each depth of demon halls. It doesn't do anything besides spawning ripper demons every 60 turns in depth 21, 53.33 turns in depth 22, 46.66 turns in depth 23 and 40 turns in depth 24. Taking damage reduces demon spawning cooldown. It is however possible to prevent it from spawning more demons by occupying every tile adjacent to it. It doesn't spawn over time, only during level generation. It caps maximum damage taken at once at 20 similarly to the slimes in sewers. While the damage resistance and miniboss property prevents the Hero from killing it too quickly, a pitfall trap can kill it instantly like every other non flying creature.

It is advised to kill as many demon spawners as possible, because each of them gives the Yog a 25% chance to spawn a ripper demon instead of god's larva during the final fight. It also always drops a potion of healing when defeated.

Non-standard enemies

Enemies that do not follow the regular spawning rules or can appear in multiple chapters (areas) of the game. Their stats usually depend on the depth they spawn on.

You would think that it's just another one of this dungeon's inanimate statues, but its red glowing eyes give it away.

While the statue itself is made of stone, the <enchanted weapon> it's wielding looks real.

Animated statues have 1/10 chance to spawn wearing random enchanted armor. These statues have the same base armor, but it's increased by the armor they are wearing and their health is doubled. This makes them incredibly hard to kill.

A wraith is a vengeful spirit of a sinner, whose grave or tomb was disturbed. Being an ethereal entity, it is very hard to hit with a regular weapon.

Mimics are magical creatures which can take any shape they wish. In dungeons they almost always choose a shape of a treasure chest, because they know how to beckon an adventurer.


Golden mimic

Golden mimics are tougher mimics which try to attract the strongest adventurers. They have better loot, but are also much stronger than regular mimics.

Crystal mimics are trickier than their regular cousins, and prefer to avoid conflict while stealing loot. They will attempt to sprint away once discovered, and have the ability to reposition enemies when they attack.

This rare variant of mimic replaces one of the two crystal chest in treasure room. Its surprise attack can steal a random item from Hero's backpack (like a crazy thief, but with much greater chance of success). After being revealed, it gains haste buff for two turns and tries to run away with it's content. If it gets outside player's FOV, it disappears for good. It only fights the hero when cornered and it can randomly teleport nearby enemies around when attacking. Item dropped by it is never cursed.
