** DropTheHammer: Ogres. Curiously, they're the only melee monster to use a weapon.
**{{Intangibility}}: Hags, Phantom Knights and Wraiths have a brief one which can make player's projectile pass through harmlessly, complete with brief disappearing. [[OhCrap Including bosses.]] Still vulnerable to Magic Scrolls though.
** GiantSpiders: Coming in two flavors, {{The Goomba}}-ish one and literally {{Demonic Spiders}}-ish one.
** PhantomThief: Might be an actual phantom thief. Incredibly fast and capable of stealing all of your upgrades and scrolls. Suffice to say, if it happens before a bost fight, you are in trouble. They do sometimes give something if you kill them before they reach you though.

Yes, the game is a SpiritualSuccessor (not to say: a total clone) of good old ''VideoGame/{{Gauntlet}}'', but so what? This does not stop it from being an extremely addictive HackAndSlash filled to the brims with an unusual if, perhaps, a bit exaggerated sense of humour, making it an AffectionateParody of classic fantasy tropes and quirks. For today's gamers, it can have a specifically [[RetroGaming vintage]] taste, but when given a chance, turns out to be one of the best possible sources of mindless entertainment when you just need to, you know, kill some [[DemonicSpiders]] or other [[PersonalSpaceInvader personal space invaders]], earn some gold and lose some HitPoints.
