Family Events

A Family Event is a rare event which has a 2% chance to occur for the entire duration of a typical stage. 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 Scorched Acres.

Trivia

 * The Family Event is the only way to encounter the Perfected Elite outside of Commencement.
 * The Family Event is 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/is a planned addition.
