There are many different monster types you will encounter throughout Desktop Dungeons. Each have different stats and traits, and thus present a specific challenge to the player.

There are many different monster types you will encounter throughout Desktop Dungeons. They have a range of abilities and stats, and each present a unique difficulty to the player. There are two formulas to determine the base stats for every monster. For hp, you use (n+3)²+10, where n is the monsters level, and for attack you use (n*(n+5))/2, where n is the monsters level. Monsters also have an attack and hp percent value. That indicates what percent of the base number provided below they have. For example, Bandits have 100% hp and 66% attack. Therefore a level 3 Bandit would do 8 damage and have 26 hp.

What kind of dungeon you are in also affects monster stats. Monsters in easy dungeons have 90% of way they would normally have, monsters in Normal dungeons have their normal stats, monsters in hard dungeons have 120% of what they would normally have, and monsters in vicious dungeons have 133% of what they would normally have.

XP-wise, there are three types of enemies.

Distribution<br>

'''General monsters''' are XP-valuable, and they gives experience points when killed.

Not counting bosses and special uniques, each dungeon contains 38 monsters, with the following level distribution

'''{{t|No Experience}} monsters''' don't give you experience points when killed, and don't trigger several effects.

However, these effects still trigger:
 +
* {{g|Dracul}} still deducts piety when you kill no xp undeads.
 +
* {{g|Mystera Annur}} still deducts piety when you kill magic attackers.
 +
* {{g|Tikki Tooki}} still deducts piety when you are harmed more than twice.
 +
* {{c|Crusader}}'s momentum does decrease when you attack a monster without killing it.
  
 +
Also there are '''[[plant]]s'''. All plants are {{t|No Experience}}, so they have the interactions written above. Plants also have some other interactions.
 +
* Killing plants will invoke {{g|The Earthmother}}'s anger.
 +
* {{boon|Entanglement}} will not slow plants.

== Monster stats, level, type and dungeon difficulty==
 +
Basically the monster have a range of abilities and stats, and each type present a unique difficulty to the player. Also, the higher their level, the stronger they are.
 +
 +
=== Base stats and level ===
 +
For every monster, two formulas to determine the base stats depending on the level. Then, depending on the monster type, modifiers are applied :
 +
* for base hp, you use (n(n+6)-1), where n is the monsters level,
 +
* for base attack, you use (n*(n+5))/2, where n is the monsters level.
 +
 +
The monsters base stat depending on the level are shown below :

=== Monster type modifiers and traits ===
 +
After these base stats have been calculated, modifiers and traits are applied. So each monster type present a unique difficulty to the player :
 +
* Each monster type has an attack and hp modifiers, which indicates what percent of the base number provided below they have. For example, Bandits have 100% hp and 70% attack. Therefore a level 3 Bandit would do 8 damage and have 26 hp.
 +
* They also receive [[Traits#Monster traits|traits]], which give them special abilities (such as {{t|Curse Bearer}} for the bandit, which will add one layer of {{t|Cursed}} to the player every time he gets hit by the Bandit, or when he kills it)
 +
 +
However, note that bosses don't follow the same progression as other monsters : they usually are stronger (better stats, and different traits) than what would a regular level 10 monster have.

There are many different monster types you will encounter throughout Desktop Dungeons. Each have different stats and traits, and thus present a specific challenge to the player.


Monster Types

XP-wise, there are three types of enemies.

General monsters are XP-valuable, and they gives experience points when killed.

Trait: No Experience No Experience monsters don't give you experience points when killed, and don't trigger several effects.

However, these effects still trigger:

  • God: Dracul Dracul still deducts piety when you kill no xp undeads.
  • God: Mystera Annur Mystera Annur still deducts piety when you kill magic attackers.
  • God: Tikki Tooki Tikki Tooki still deducts piety when you are harmed more than twice.
  • Class: Crusader Crusader's momentum does decrease when you attack a monster without killing it.

Also there are plants. All plants are Trait: No Experience No Experience, so they have the interactions written above. Plants also have some other interactions.

  • Killing plants will invoke God: The Earthmother The Earthmother's anger.
  • God boon: Entanglement Entanglement will not slow plants.

Monster stats, level, type and dungeon difficulty

Basically the monster have a range of abilities and stats, and each type present a unique difficulty to the player. Also, the higher their level, the stronger they are.

Base stats and level

For every monster, two formulas to determine the base stats depending on the level. Then, depending on the monster type, modifiers are applied :

  • for base hp, you use (n(n+6)-1), where n is the monsters level,
  • for base attack, you use (n*(n+5))/2, where n is the monsters level.

The monsters base stat depending on the level are shown below :

Level Base Attack Base Health
1 3 6
2 7 15
3 12 26
4 18 39
5 25 54
6 33 71
7 42 90
8 52 111
9 63 134
10 75 159

Monster type modifiers and traits

After these base stats have been calculated, modifiers and traits are applied. So each monster type present a unique difficulty to the player :

  • Each monster type has an attack and hp modifiers, which indicates what percent of the base number provided below they have. For example, Bandits have 100% hp and 70% attack. Therefore a level 3 Bandit would do 8 damage and have 26 hp.
  • They also receive traits, which give them special abilities (such as Trait: Curse Bearer Curse Bearer for the bandit, which will add one layer of Trait: Cursed Cursed to the player every time he gets hit by the Bandit, or when he kills it)

However, note that bosses don't follow the same progression as other monsters : they usually are stronger (better stats, and different traits) than what would a regular level 10 monster have.
