Family Events

A Family Event is a rare event which has a 2% chance to occur for the entire duration of a typical stage. If the Survivors of the Void expansion is enabled, the chance for a Family Event after looping is approximately 3.92% (half for a normal Family Event and half for a Void Invasion). A Family Event will restrict the kinds of monsters that can spawn to a specific and limited selection, including monsters spawned by and during the Teleporter Event. The specific pool of monsters is signaled by a line of pink text at the beginning of the stage.

Family Events commonly result in monsters spawning in Environments they are otherwise unable to spawn in, such as the spawning in Environments other than.

Trivia

 * The Family Event is the only way to encounter the Perfected Elite outside of.
 * As such, it is the only way to obtain the outside of Commencement, and getting the Lunar Family event on Sky Meadow is the only way to obtain it on a run that can continue looping.
 * However, with the Artifact of Dissonance active, Perfected Lunar Chimeras can spawn on any stage with Lunar Chimeras.
 * Prior to the Survivors of the Void expansion, the Family Event was the only one to feature a single monster.
 * The Mini Mushrum was simply named "Mushrum" in Risk of Rain 1, which suggests that a larger monster related to it was a planned addition.
 * The Family Event incorrectly assigns naturally-spawning monsters to the regular monster team, and not the void team. In most circumstances this is irrelevant, but if that stage also has a Void Seed when the Void Family Event occurs, the naturally-spawning void monsters will fight those from the Void Seed.
