List of Monsters

Dark Caves

Image Name HP Attacks/Movement
Slime sm Slime 9 Moves very slowly and will periodically jump in the player's direction. Will do 3-5 physical damage upon landing on or coming into contact with the player. Alternatively, it will stop and glow yellow for a few frames before dashing into the player if they are close enough, also dealing 3-5 physical damage. Instead of jumping can it drop through platforms if you are below its location.
Bat sm Eyebat 5 Hangs from the ceiling until it notices the player. Once it does it will start pursuing the player. Upon knocking into the player it will deal 2-6 physical damage.

It won't pursue the player they are in water and it will go back to hanging from the ceiling if left alone for long enough.

Bandit sm Goblin 16 Will walk towards the player and if it's close enough it will attempt to stab the player with sword. Their attack is very easy to dodge and deals 5-10 physical damage.
ManEater sm Lurker 3 They show up as a small flat green spot on the ground and attack the player when stepped on after a short delay causing 5-15 physical damage. They can detect the player even through stealth.

The easiest and safest way to deal with a lurker is to run directly over and past it, then turn around and attack it before its attack animation ends.

Should your melee weapon be too slow, switching to your fists will allow a fast enough attack. 

Piranha Piranha 1 Resides in water. If the player enters its pool it will swim towards the player quickly and upon running into the player will do 1 physical damage, but has a very small delay between attacks.
Beetle sm Divebomber 1 Similar to bats, it hangs from the ceiling until it notices a player. After noticing a player, this monster will fly downwards until it hits the ground or the player and then explode, spawning 5 fireballs in all directions. Each fireball deals 5 physical damage and does not set the player on fire. Direct contact with it deals 1 physical damage.
Crawler sm Worm 10 Walks around the floor, walls and ceiling. Does not target the player. Upon contact, deals around 4 damage and poisons the player. Worms only spawn on the level where the Giant Worm is supposed to be the boss. Killing three of them will enrage the Giant Worm boss.

You should try to bait out its attack, jump over it and attack it from behind.

Demondog Demon Dog 25 Only appears when summoned by a Cultist. Will walk towards the player and prepare for a lunge after reaching a certain distance from the player, then run until they can lunge again. Lunges deal about 5 damage and can surprise the player, even from long distances.
