Bestiary
Monsters in Endless Curse come in five races: Beasts, Undead, Insects, Humans and Dragons. A monster's race decides which elements it fears, and some also carry Fire, Ice or Lightning and resist attacks of their own element. This bestiary lists every monster's weaknesses, where and when it appears, and any behavior to watch out for.
01How to read this bestiary
- Appears: which stages it shows up in, with its main time window in brackets. During a run, a stronger wave of monsters takes over at about 1:10, 2:40, 4:20, 6:20, 8:20.
- Health, speed: compared with other monsters from the same time window. Actual values rise with time, stage and difficulty; see the stage overview.
- Weak to, resists: in Endless Curse, an effective element deals ×1.6 and a resisted one ×0.6 (Undead take ×0.3 from poison). Two types multiply: the Fire Ant, for example, is an Insect and Fire-type, so Fire against it cancels out.

How many monsters are in Endless Curse?

Which monsters should I kill first?
The ones that summon help or revive allies: the Goblin Shaman, the Spider Matriarch, all the graves, and the Elite Goblin. Until they fall, the monsters never stop coming.
What is the treasure goblin?
A Goblin Thief that appears 1–2 times at random each run, running away with a sack of coins. Kill it within 15 seconds and it spills coins everywhere.
When do bosses appear?
In every stage, a mid-boss at 3:00 and another at 6:00, then that stage's fixed guardian at 9:00.
