Mobs & Bestiary
A reference of all hostile creatures, bosses, and dungeon mob types encountered by Carl and Princess Donut through the end of Book 1. Named bosses have individual pages; common mob types are summarized here.
Floor 1 Mobs​
| Mob | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Goblin | 2 | Common; wield pineapple-topped clubs. Small, green, smart. Attack in groups. |
| Goblin Engineer | 3 | Drives the Murder Dozer. Wears kitchen-pot helmets. Attack females first. |
| Rat, Common | 2 | Large screeching rodents, half the size of Donut. Appear in groups. |
| Scatterer | 2 | Giant cockroaches, loaf-of-bread-sized. Common nest mobs. Can inflict Sepsis debuff. |
| Scatterer Brood Guardian | 4 | Larger cockroach variant. More dangerous than standard Scatterers. |
| Bad Llama | 3 | Horse-sized llamas. Spit lava. Will trade if approached peacefully. |
| Thorn Cadaver | — | Spiky undead mob; drops crafting materials including spikes used in Donut's kneepads. |
| Hobgoblin | — | Larger goblin variant found in the maze and maze boss areas. |
| Troglodyte Basher | — | Melee support mob in the Juicer's boss room. Thick-scaled; requires multiple hits. |
| Troglodyte Virtuoso | — | Poison-tongue ranged support mob in the Juicer's boss room. |
Goblin Murder Dozer​
A goblin-built, steam-powered machine designed to mow down and slaughter unsuspecting dungeon crawlers. I hope you're up to date with your tetanus shots.
Carl's first dungeon threat. Eventually sacrificed as the chopper itself surpasses it in utility.
Goblin (Standard)​
Small, green, and smart. What goblins lack in physical strength, they make up for in pure spunk.
Goblin Engineer​
Engineers. The incels of the goblin world. They have a hard time finding a date, which makes them extra angry. If there are any females in your party, they will attack them first.
Bad Llama​
It's a llama, but it's bad. If he were human, he'd be covered in prison tattoos and would be hanging out in front of the Circle K hitting on 14-year-old girls. They might be willing to sell you something if you have good stuff to trade.
You won't want to get hit by their spit.
(Their spit is lava. Weakness: the throat — exploited by Carl with a punch to the neck.)
Scatterer Brood Guardian​
Cockroaches that have been baptized in rage and Monster Energy drinks.
Like its smaller brethren, the Scatterer Brood Guardian is a giant bug who wants nothing more than to fuck you up. Unlike his little brother, these guys are dangerous.
Floor 2 Mobs​
| Mob | Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mind Horror | 4 | Floating brain-jellyfish hybrids. Use psionic attacks. Physically weak; slow-moving. |
| Brindle Grub | 2–3 | Legless worm-like janitor mobs. Non-aggressive until attacked; eat dead bodies. |
| Cow-Tailed Brindle Grub | 3 | Defensive late-stage grub with a tail. Pupa stage precedes hatching. |
| Brindle Grub Pupa | — | Giant sac mobs. When damaged, release Brindled Vespas. |
| Brindled Vespa | 8 | Human-sized hornets hatched from Brindle Grub pupae. Spit acid. Fast. |
| Danger Dingo | 5 | Mastiff-sized canine mobs with black metal corpse-paint faces. Ridden by Kobolds. |
| Kobold | 5 | Small canine humanoids; ride Danger Dingoes into battle. |
| Tuskling Knight | 4 | Overweight orc aristocrats. Weak individually; catastrophic in Ball of Swine formation. |
| Tuskling Courtesan | 5 | Female tuskling variant. Slightly tougher than Knights. |
| Clurichaun | — | Small fairy-adjacent mobs found in the Krakaren's lair. |
| Laminak Fairy | — | Small fairy mobs found in the Krakaren's lair. |
| Frenzied Gerbil (regular) | — | Standard version of Ralph's mob type; normally appears on Floors 5–7. |
Mind Horror​
Floating brain-jellyfish. Psionic attacks cause debilitating headaches in humans; Princess Donut is unaffected. Slow-moving. Bodies have the consistency of jam-filled kickballs — bounce when they hit the ground.
Danger Dingo​
These aren't the cute, cuddly, baby-eating puppies from the land down under. No, mate. The Danger Dingo features a stronger body, sharper teeth, and a penchant for black metal bands such as Dimmu Borgir and Satyricon. Where there are dingoes, their Kobold riders and slave masters usually aren't far behind.
Danger Dingoes are enslaved by Kobolds via a control spell. When that spell is broken — as it was in the Ralph boss encounter — they turn on their former masters. Fed Danger Dingoes can be converted from hostile (red dot) to neutral (white dot).
Brindled Vespa​
Human-sized hornets hatched from Brindle Grub pupae. Level 8. Spit acid globs that burn through flesh. Arms retain a grasping, clawed hand. Carl's slingshot could knock them out of the air by hitting their wings, grounding them for Donut's follow-up missiles.
Floor 1 Bosses​
| Boss | Level | Type | Chapter |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Hoarder | 7 | Neighborhood Boss | 11 |
| The Juicer | 9 | Neighborhood Boss | 24 |

| Rage Elemental | 93 | Wandering Boss | 38–40 |
