A list of all the game's enemies
The store page’s claim to variety intrigued me, so I cataloged every enemy I encountered as I went through the game. Putting this up here because I think people might find it interesting, and to make sure I’ve got the count right before I write a review. The variety here is staggering, especially considering almost everything seems unique from the ground up (I think there’s a few that share elements, e.g. marsh-maw arms/tomb leeches/river hydra sharing animations and using some of the same AI, but it’s cleverly done to a point where I’m not even sure if that’s the case).

Legend:
*: has multiple attacks
^: has ranged attack
~: flies
bold: boss (by my consideration. It would probably be fair to add the Nokken, Mare, and necromancer fort encounters here as well).

Deadwell
-1: basic spider
-2: grandchild
-3: husked priest
-4: Witch Ghost*^~

-12: skeleton

Greenslit
-13: red ants
-14: horsefly~
-15: whip scorpion*^
-16: tower ghost

-20: spear undead^
-21: Shield Warriors

Trollhole
-22: summoner troll

-24: crawling trollspawn

-77: bear (Greenslit, Nokkpond)
-78: mosquito (Ravenfen, Nokkpond)~
-79: moose (Greenslit, Nokkpond)

Fun statistics:
-28/80 (~36%) of the enemy types in the game are invertebrates
-13/80 (~17%) of the enemy types in the game are spiders
-spiders are present in 10/15 areas
-Sourwood’s ticks are 300% worse than every other enemy in the game put together

In a cave?

I think you might be talking about the Grandmother who scuttles around and does cannonballs.
