Monsters

Monsters are hostile entities and serve as the main threat to Survivors. There are 35 Monsters currently in the game. You can get information about them in the Logbook. By killing Monsters, there is a chance to unlock their information in the Logbook.

Bosses (not to be confused with Teleporter Boss) are a type of Monster with much higher health and damage output, and offers much more threat to the player than most regular Monsters.

All Monsters except for Magma Worms, Overloading Worms, Aurelionite, the Alloy Worship Unit, Scavengers and the Twisted Scavengers can spawn as an Elite monster.

Any given Monster has a 1% chance to drop a Monster Log if any player in the lobby has not yet acquired the Monster's Logbook Entry. If the Monster is a Teleporter Boss (and not a Horde of Many) this drop chance is 3% instead. These drop chances are affected by the and/or  of their killer.

Special Bosses
These bosses do not normally appear, and have special requirements for spawning.

Elites
Elite Monsters are similar to their basic comrades, except they have a different color and added abilities. Elites have increased health pools and reduced effectiveness of any crowd control affecting them. Elites are recognized by their appearance and a symbol on their health bar.

Elite Monsters have a chance to drop their buff as an Equipment. The drop chance for this is 0.025%, or 1 in 4000. This is affected by and.

There are two tiers of Elite Monsters, Tier 1 consist of the Blazing, Glacial and Overloading Elites who have 4 times the health and twice the damage of a normal variation of that Monster, and Tier 2 consist of the Malachite and Celestine Elites who have 18 times the health, six times the damage and only appear after Looping.

All Monsters can be Elite, even Bosses. However, not all enemies will normally be spawned as Elites. A notable example of this is the Magma Worm. See also the notes.
