Creatures
| Monsters | |
|---|---|
 Rat | The weakest of the monsters, the rat will simply walk back and forth waiting to be caught. Beward an angry rat though, as it will try to fall or jump in order to catch you! |
 Bee | Bees, while still relatively weak, gain an advantage over bats 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. |
 Spider | 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! |
 Snake | 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! |
 Tick | 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 arget with a slam! |
 Snail | Snails are slow moving but tough - when slammed they will not die, but simply lose their shell and become a slug. |
 Slug | Slugs are faster moving than snails and capable of launching themselves through the air at their prey! |
 Pirahna | These fish at at home in the water and unhampered by slowness while swimming. |
 Plant | Evil venus fly trap plants will lie in wait and devour any player foolish enough to wander into their clutches. |
| Bosses | |
 Cloud of Doom | 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! |
 King Rat | 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 locating them will charge at high speed. |
