	The following can be found throughout the map:		The following can be found throughout the map:

	{{monsterlink\|~~Eye of devastation~~}}		{{monsterlink\|Golden eye}} - Only dangerous around other monsters, but their [[Confusion Gaze\|confusing gaze]] does not require a direct line of fire. Take them out as quickly as possible if there are other threats. Harmless if you have [[clarity]].

	{{monsterlink\|~~Giant orange brain~~}}		{{monsterlink\|Eye of devastation}} - Slow, but fires blasts of devastating energies that can't be resisted but can be dodged.

	{{monsterlink\|Great orb of eyes}}		{{monsterlink\|Great orb of eyes}} - Can sap your magic, confuse or paralyze you, or just blast you with [[Disintegrate]]. Much less dangerous if you have high magic resistance.

	{{monsterlink\|~~Golden eye~~}}		{{monsterlink\|Glowing orange brain}} - Yet another source of hexes, but can also summon in reinforcements. If you start getting flooded, take out the summoner promptly.

	{{monsterlink\|Neqoxec}}		{{monsterlink\|Neqoxec}} - Demons that can and will cast [[Malmutate]] at you, but aren't terribly dangerous otherwise unless you have exceptionally low intelligence. Block their line of effect until they come into range, then take them out.

	{{monsterlink\|~~Stone giant~~}}		{{monsterlink\|Tentacled starspawn}} - Can reach out with tentacles and drag you towards its maw (and possibly toward other threats). Attacking its tentacles hurts it, so area-damaging attacks work well.

	{{monsterlink\|~~Tentacled starspawn~~}}		{{monsterlink\|Starcursed mass}} - Will split into several entities -- the more of them you can see, the worse their smite-targeted damage gets. Keep attacking them to force them back together.

	{{monsterlink\|~~Starcursed mass~~}}		{{monsterlink\|Stone giant}} - Huge, strong, and throws [[large rocks]] at range. Fairly straightforward to deal with, though they can do some serious physical damage.

	{{Brown\|u}} [[File:Very ugly thing1.png]] Brown [[~~Very~~ ugly thing]]		{{Brown\|u}} [[File:Ugly thing1.png]] {{Brown\|u}} [[File:Very ugly thing1.png]] '''Brown [[ugly thing]]s and [[very ugly thing]]s''' - Come in packs and have [[acid]]ic attacks to begin with, though they may change elemental affiliations when next to each other. The very ugly things are far more dangerous.

	===~~Rare Monsters~~===		===Subguardians===
			Two monsters guard specific treasure vaults in the moon base:

	A [[~~File:Cacodemon.png~~]] [[~~Cacodemon~~]] ~~together~~ with ~~some monsters from the list above are near~~ a ~~potion of~~ [[~~Potion of cure mutation~~]] ~~or [[Potion~~ of ~~beneficial mutation]]~~.		{{monsterlink\|Cacodemon}} - A cacodemon and some other denizens guard some [[potion of mutation\|potions of mutation]] in a sealed-off chamber with transparent walls, but the cacodemon can just [[Dig]] a way out. It comes with a couple nasty hexes, [[Malmutate]], and the energy bolts of an eye of devastation.

	~~Any~~ of ~~these monsters can be found at~~ the four possible portal locations:

	{{monsterlink\|Crystal guardian}}		{{monsterlink\|Crystal guardian}} - Not only has the toughness and strength of a [[list of golems\|golem]], but can fire bouncing bolts of fire or cold. Bring both elemental resistances and don't stand with your back to a wall.

	{{monsterlink\|Quicksilver dragon}}		{{monsterlink\|Quicksilver dragon}} - A swift-moving dragon that can breathe bolts of energy that strip away any buffs you have.

	{{monsterlink\|Wretched star}}		{{monsterlink\|Wretched star}} - Not terribly lethal, but it can quickly bog you down with multiple bad mutations. These are, thankfully, temporary, but you probably won't recover from more than one or two of them over the course of the level.

	{{monsterlink\|War gargoyle}}		{{monsterlink\|War gargoyle}} - Fast, heavily armored, and hits hard, but its most deadly feature is easily its [[Metal Splinters\|shrapnel breath weapon]].
