Is there any way to get the name of the type of monster you are fighting? Has anyone compliled a list of monsters and their stats? Just curious.

------------------

I asked the same question under the topic, "What are the critters?" I'm of the opinion
that it was an oversight to not include the monsters names, or to find out what their
names are in the game somehow. But I haven't heard an "official" response, so I don't
know.

Anyhow, this was a response in that thread, posted by oasamostexianu :

The Menagerie as far as I know: (major spoilers below)
Goblins: punks in steel armor that can barely hurt you
Kobolds: short little dudes who are similarly ineffective
Rockspiders: The ground spiders you find scattered around. Not terribly exciting.
Molespiders: Nasty spiders
Mindeaters: blue guys who want to suck your blood
?: Second level mindeaters with 'fros
Trolls: Black guys with daggers. They're kinda nasty.
Dragons?: Orange, and annoying
Cyclops: Red, brutish, and not pleasant. They're about 3x your height.
Zombies: white, skeletonish, and they want your body. Watch out.
Revenants: nastier zombies, a darker shade of skin.
Ogres: big, loud, with huge weapons. Easy to kill though.
Death knights: Darth Vader, except their sword is the size of you and glows. Don't mess with these guys.
Earth golems: They look like they're made of stone. Very icky.
Manticores: red gargoyles. Vicious in packs.
Blue dragons: a nastier strain of dragon.
Dark spirits: blue floaty guys who will make mincemeat out of your new suit.
Scurryish thingies: brown, short, found in most caves. A problem in numbers.
Albino freaks?: Greyish clear, taller than you, and wussy. A club.
Liliths: devil bitches, look sorta like Xena.
Minotaurs: Twice your height, dark brown/black stripes, and a scythe bigger than you.
Termites, white: wussy, but annoying. They're long and squusshy.
Termites, red. Duh.
Thivoks: green centaurish beasts.
Oakwasp: buzzy giant mosquitos.
Sea giants: Big, and nasty. Don't mess with these guys.
Head Sea Giant: See above, but nastier.
Grey mages: cloaked, emit glowy thingies.
Blue mages: cloaked, emit green thingies.
Red mages: cloaked, emit red fireballs.
Thief: Black cloak, low face.
Red thief: Red cloak, throws stuff.
The Guardian: Three times taller than you, glowing red eyeballs, two jagged swords, and the ability to thrown lightning. It's hard to miss him.

That's all the stuff I remember off hand.

Shoot 'em with everything you've got. If anything still lives, shoot 'em again.

Oops, I somehow missed that post...sorry. :redface:

Good point you made about the Learning Tree. Maybe those creature descriptions should include mugshots....
