List of discovered monsters

[Rodney Buckentime]

Slimer - Grabs you and drags you away aggressively. No damage unless slammed into dangerous map pieces or other monsters
Crawler - crawls on all fours, drags you away and deals continuous damage. shine a light on him to make it disappear.
Iron maiden - Traps a player inside, makes a second person do a captcha to release them.
Knife guy - chases you with a knife.
Toss guy - picks you up and throws you, dealing almost all health. Extremely dangerous if you're injured
Shy guy - DO NOT PUT LIGHT ON HIM! he gets really mad and will maul you
Bomb guy - throws bombs at you from a distance. get too close and he'll explode!
Weird guy - small gremlin that runs around.
Scare guy - seemingly invisible, makes you drop held item after a sound cue.
Boston dynamics dog - has a searchlight that marks its LOS. fires lasers at you when spotted.
Snail guy - slow, grabs you and slowly drains your HP. simply sprint away from him and he'll release you.
Barnacle - watch out for these guys! they act like half life barnacles, hence the name.
Spider - groups up, will drag players to their web to kill them. spits lots of slowing webs around players.
mixer lady - large humanoid female with a mechanical whisk on its head. charges players when they have line of sight.
giant - ??? haven't encountered this one yet. seems spooky though.

these are all the ones I've found so far while playing. if you've got any more, or have name suggestions, feel free to pitch in!

for the crawler if you put light on them they seam to vanish

[PovKetz]

As someone said the Crawler/Ghost can be warded off with the use of a light source, like a flashlight or the camera light. Unfortunately getting grabbed causes you to drop your held items, meaning if you don't catch them in the light first, or have a teammate nearby, getting grabbed is a death sentence. If you have a flashlight in a slot, switching to it will drop it for a teammate to use if need be.

Also Don't forget

Snail Men - weird human-snail hybrids who i've seen spawn in upwards of groups of 5 if not more sometimes. The simply latch onto you, but it seems sprinting and jumping away can free you easily enough. If you see a teammate struggling with one, quickly diving in to "pull aggro" before jumping away seems to help

The Spider - Shoots out an insane amount of webs, seemingly only after spotting a player. A single strand or two isn't impossible to escape from, but getting caught in the center of a large cluster of webs is nearly impossible to slip out from, at least within an efficient amount of time. Time you likely won't have if surrounded by enemies. Best advice would be saving up stamina, and then sprinting out of the webs to slowly pull away. Unknown if jumping helps or not

You missed the blender and Barnacle

A womanly figure with a blender for a head, will stop to begin a charge attack and sprinting forward. Easily dodged at a distance

Barnacles are similar to the HL2 enemy with the same name. They're starfish like entities which live on the ceilings of areas, if you walk under them they pull you up and slowly drain your health. Unsure how to break free (I just spammed buttons tbh). Very easily avoided by watching the ceiling.

[Klabbath]

Mom - pulls the plug on your rig on aggro
Don't be the host when this it appears, because there seem to be no known counter.

[Ketzerin]

Dont forget Blender face, it charges at you at high speeds before stopping to re-line itself up with you to charge again.

[Kurai]

There's also the giant brute that was shown in the loading screen. Seems to be the most powerful/dangerous monster we've encountered so far on the second views quota. Pretty much one shots you with wide arcing swings. Also known to lunge at players too.

[Rodney Buckentime]

thanks for the additions and revisions so far, guys. I have a feeling we'll be able to compose a proper guide for this sometime in the near future. :)

think i've seen this one before, could be wrong. i recall one of my buddies getting grabbed and mauled with the camera (we didnt see the monster in footage due to screen shake), we called that one "bad touch".

[Klabbath]

All of these names: toss guy - he toss you, knife guy - he knife you haha

Isn't there also a scream guy, who just walks around and screams when close enough?

i b elieve this is the one that makes you drop items when it screams.

[ThatMoustachio]

I recently ran into a GIANT that teleports in, stuns you with its gaze, and kills you before you can do anything about it. If you're around it, but don't see it, it will glitch your character into not being able to move even if the monster is gone. Creepy as hell and had red eyes.
