Creatures2

Creatures are the varieties of enemies to be encountered in the world of Grim Dawn. They may appear as humans, or different types of monsters. Creatures of different classes or Factions may also be antagonistic toward one another. Killing enemy creatures is one of the primary sources of gaining experience and loot.

Mechanics[ | ]

Creatures have their own stats, such as Health, Energy, Physique, Spirit, Cunning, Offensive and Defensive Ability, and sometimes regeneration and life leech, just as player characters do. They also have Armor and Resistances, and can reflect or block damage.

They have their own skill sets, including those available from player Masteries, and can also use item skills and stats from items they have equipped, including Rare, Epic and Legendary quality items.

Rarities[ | ]

Monster names appear in different colors, with each color indicating a certain grade or rarity of monster.

  • White: Common monsters. These are the enemies encountered most often.
  • Yellow: Uncommon, or Champions. These are somewhat stronger than regular monsters and will use additional skills.
  • Orange: Hero Monsters. They will spawn randomly among regular monster packs and have an individual name and a star above their head to denote their status. They are much stronger than common or uncommon monsters and will often use special skills. They may also belong to a particular hero Archetype.
  • Lavender: Unique Boss Monsters. They usually reside in a fixed location. They may be part of a quest line or just be the resident challenge monster of an area. They are very powerful and possess several special or unique skills.
  • Red: includes Nemesis monsters (which can spawn randomly after reaching Nemesis level enemy Faction reputation) and some secret Boss Monsters. They are the ultimate challenge the game has to offer, and the players must be certain of their capacities before challenging one of them.
