Monsters are the creatures and embodied characters encountered in Omega, including peaceful residents, hostile opponents and unique quest figures. Their symbol alone is not a reliable identity: several creatures share a character and color, while some change appearance during generation or play.

This index covers the 150 creature templates in Omega 0.90.4. Historical identities and generated forms are marked separately; the total is not a count of 150 fully written species articles. Existing articles remain public drafts. The named directory records which entries still need an independent article.

Encounters and behavior

Ordinary monster generation selects from a difficulty-dependent range and rejects templates reserved for special construction. Fixed maps, dungeon finales, summoning and historical characters use additional paths. A creature listed at level 0 is not necessarily harmless: the guardsman has far more HP and combat strength than many early random opponents.

Countryside encounters expand a monster's awareness to the width of the encounter map. A missile user can therefore attack from farther away than the ordinary sensing range quoted in its article, although the ranged routine still needs line of sight and its other conditions. Arena opponents also receive expanded awareness.

Being awake and being hostile are different states. A sleeping creature can awaken without becoming hostile. Special abilities have their own conditions, so peace alone is not proof that every nearby power is harmless; the automatum minor is an example. Look up the actual creature before approaching, provoking or attempting to pacify it.

Arena forms

The arena begins with a fixed sequence of creature types. Later matches can draw random ordinary creatures from the level-0 through level-8 template range, excluding the three dynamic NPC templates and creatures whose attack-damage setting is zero. The latter filter does not guarantee an actual melee sequence: a quail, for example, has a nonzero damage setting but no attacks.

An arena opponent is named, awake and hostile. Compared with its ordinary template, it gains ten HP per base level, twice the hit score and half again the damage setting, rounded down. That damage increase can also strengthen effects such as poison. It is copied directly into the arena, bypassing ordinary starting possessions, and receives the exit-opening item. Its normal death reliably leaves remains. An ordinary infobox therefore does not describe the strengthened arena form; fixed opponents have comparisons in their articles.

Reading creature data

Monster level is a game parameter, not a universal difficulty rating. HP and combat scores describe the stated form; an arena opponent or historical resident can differ from the ordinary creature. Action interval is the delay between scheduled monster actions: lower numbers are faster. One such action can execute an entire tactical attack sequence, so it is not necessarily one swing.

Information	Meaning
Hit and defense	Scores used by attack checks; defense is not armor absorption
Damage roll	Raw damage before the player's applicable immunity or absorption; a rating of 20 normally rolls 0–19
Attack sequence	Number and kind of attempted attacks, plus defensive actions; each attack must satisfy its own checks
Immunities	Damage/effect types resisted by this creature; these do not automatically describe benefits from eating its remains
Carried items	Possessions that can be dropped, distinct from a corpse or alchemical product created after death

Ordinary landed damage still costs at least one HP unless immunity prevents it. Secondary effects such as life drain are separate from ordinary absorption. See Defense and protection and Melee attacks for the shared combat rules.

Remains

Possessions and remains are separate rewards. Normal death drops carried items, while an ordinary creature has a 50% chance to leave its corpse or other remains. Named unique forms normally leave remains on normal death. Destruction or disappearance that bypasses normal death need not provide either reward.

Ordinary edible remains, such as bunnyburgers and trunk steak, each add six food-reserve points; one point is consumed by a normal hourly hunger check. Body size and a fancy food name do not increase that nourishment. Do not keep eating after you are full: food reserve above 48 causes vomiting and falls to 12. Eating while travelling on the country map also runs an hourly check, so the meal's nominal nutrition is not always the net change.

Other remains may poison you, produce a special effect, provide little food or be inedible. A creature's own immunities do not automatically become benefits from eating its remains. Check the individual article before eating or taking remains to an alchemist. Likewise, edible prey are not necessarily hungry animals that can be pacified by feeding: living behavior and corpse effects are separate properties.

Creature directory

Entries are grouped by their template level for comparison. HP / interval gives baseline HP and action interval; historical templates use variable values. Ordinary pool eligibility does not imply equal encounter probability or guarantee an appearance in every location. The special-placement rows identify a different generation route, not an additional ordinary pool. The elemental lords and Elemental Master occupy successive Astral Plane levels, with their listed Orbs as fixed possessions.

Some forms need additional explanation: the nymph/satyr and incubus/succubus templates are displayed as n or s after ordinary construction, rather than their source placeholder. Their generated names overlap, while the corpse names distinguish the underlying templates. Historical officeholders and adventurers also receive their actual identity and combat values during construction.
