<table border=1>
<tr bgcolor="#ffff00"><th colspan=2>Players</th></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/pdwarf.png"><img src="img/armor.png"><br>Mr. Dwarf</td><td>Mr. Dwarf is currently highly disgruntled due to repeated burglaries of his hard-earned dinner.  After one theft too many, he is now out for revenge!  When encased in his shining suit of golden armour, Mr. Dwarf is bestowed with incredible powers of endurance, and is able to withstand any earthly threat.  Once once, though.</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/p2dwarf.png"><img src="img/armor2.png"><br>Mrs. Dwarf</td><td>Mrs. Dwarf, being the loyal partner that she is, has become equally aggrieved by the constant re-appropriation of culinary treats and has joined Mr. Dwarf on his quest to end the rat menace forever.  Her more feminine armour no less effective, just slightly more visually appealing with its convenient openings for lipstick and hair!</td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="#ffff00"><th colspan=2>Monsters</th></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/rat.png"><br>Rat</td><td>The weakest of the monsters, the rat will simply walk back and forth waiting to be caught.   Beware an angry rat though, as it will try to fall or jump in order to catch you!</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/newbee.png"><br>Bee</td><td>Bees, while still relatively weak, gain an advantage over rats in that they are able to fly.  They move in a simple diagonal pattern, changing direction when they get near a wall or spikes.  Bees will speed up when angry.</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/spider.png"><br>Spider</td><td>Spiders will lurk quietly on the ceiling, crawling back and forth.  If they  notice a player nearby however they will swiftly pounce down onto their prey!</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/snake.png"><br>Snake</td><td>The snake moves in a similar fashion to the rat with one important exception - upon seeing a player they will spit a glob of deadly venom at them!</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/tick.png"><br>Tick</td><td>The tick is small but intelligent.  Even in its regular placid state it will move in the same manner as an angry rat.  Because of their small size, they are also difficult to target with a slam!</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/snail.png"><br>Snail</td><td>Snails are slow moving but tough.  When attacked normally they will not die, but simply lose their shell and become a slug.  The safest way to take them out is to slam another monster into them, thus killing them instantly.</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/slug.png"><br>Slug</td><td>Slugs are faster moving than snails and capable of launching themselves through the air at their prey!</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/fish.png"><br>Pirahna</td><td>These fish at at home in the water and unhampered by slowness while swimming.</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/plant.png"><br>Plant</td><td>Evil venus fly trap plants will lie in wait and devour any player foolish enough to wander into their clutches.</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/fly.png"><br>Fly</td><td>Annoying pests at the best of times, flies pose additional danger to dwarves.  They fly around more erratically than bees and after landing can scurry quickly back and forth.</td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="#ffff00"><th colspan=2>Bosses</th></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/cloud.png"><br>Cloud of Doom</td><td>This unkillable cloud will appear if you spend too much time on one level.  Beware, as the only way to defeat the cloud of doom is to complete the level before it grows too large to handle!</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/kingrat.png"><br>King Rat</td><td>This mighty creature is the ruler of the rats, and impervious to the player's net.  It can only be harmed by slamming another monster into it!  King Rat will roam the level searching for a player, and upon spotting them will charge at high speed.</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><img src="img/kingsnail.png"><br>King Snail</td><td>The absolute ruler of the snail kingdom is far too large and heavy to catch in a net.  In addition, its shell provides protection against all attacks, leaving only its head vulnerable.  While King Snail is too proud to chase down enemies itself, it can use its snail army to destroy its foes.</td></tr>
