What is the Rift Bestiary?
Version 1.0 adds a Rift Bestiary. The launch post pitches it as a way to take a good look at rift creatures “without the threat of being killed in the process”:
The Rift Bestiary can now be found SOMEWHERE at The Fox Hole Arms and contains all of the monsters that you’ve encountered to learn more about them.
That is all the developers have said about it. We have not found the book ourselves, so we do not describe its layout, entries or whether it lists weaknesses.
The same post says Rift Creatures “have undergone some serious upgrades” in 1.0 without listing what changed. Hub directions for other pub features are in the Fox Hole Arms guide.
Which creatures have official names?
These come from Steam developer posts. They are announcement-level facts, not stat blocks.
| Creature | What the developers say | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Hollow Man | An enemy that looks like an abandoned corpse; the post tells you to be more careful around bodies | 28 May 2026 content drop |
| Tilly | A child-like figure in a trench coat who hides a knife; the post says to run | 12 Jun 2026 patch v0.1.2 |
| Wizard | Wears red robes and carries a magical staff that can turn you into a gnome; his name glows above him | 1 Jul 2026 Summer Update |
| Papa Gnome | Named as Wizard’s “non-magical cousin”; no behaviour is described | 1 Jul 2026 Summer Update |
| Kevin | A sweet-looking alien whose extendable tongue catches you and steals equipment, drinks, snacks and 20%-50% of your money | 23 Jul 2026 content drop |
| The Phantom | A supernatural spectre that inverts your controls | 6 Aug 2026 content drop |
| Flying Apex | A mutated shark that bites and spits flurrying whirlpools; found in the Aquarium facility expansion | 27 Aug 2026 expansion |
| Spider | Its web attack roots you; damage was lowered and a bug that stopped it rooting was fixed | 12 Jun 2026 patch v0.1.2 |
The Aquarium is a facility variant you can get when starting a Crawl: an underwater facility with electrified traps and plenty of sharks.
The store screenshot above shows three large toothed worm-like creatures. The developers have not named them in any post we read, so we do not label them.
What do the developers say about fighting creatures?
Steam’s store copy says to study creature behaviour, learn weaknesses and choose when to fight or keep your distance. The pre-1.0 recap says the Double Decker bus now stocks two weapon types and that throwing objects with the Gravity Gauntlet is a viable tactic. See the Gravity Gauntlet tips and the gear overview.
Early posts also say every rift creature has unique abilities or attributes, and that Hazard Levels started as a gunless experience before guns were added in later updates.
How do Rift Surges relate to creatures?
No official post links a specific Rift Surge to a specific creature, so we do not either.
