A high quality guide to lethal company

The optimal guide for learning all the most important facts about each enemy from lethal company, such as the ideal time to sear a bracken flank for to get optimal flavour. (That fact will not be included, just go by scent)

NOTICE:

This Guide is being made as of V69. When V70 comes out, which could very well be soon, I will update any incorrect information in the guide. That being said, it might take time to gather all the information needed if there are new enemies. Basically, if you're reading this post V70, take the information proved with a grain of salt.

Baboon Hawk

Name: Krawg (Leader of the Baboon Hawk Mafia)
Alias: Baboon Hawk
Highest Spawn Chance: Adamance, 54.74%
Special skills: Gang warfare
Kleptomania: Intense
Originating on the streets of Romania, the Baboon Hawk Mafia got their start as a group of petty criminals, pickpocketing anyone they could find. Over time, as the group grew, they realized they didn’t need to pickpocket anymore, and instead had the numbers for proper muggings. Once they realized they could do this, life in the Baboon Hawk Mafia became much easier for everyone. Soon they basically ran the country of Romania under the lead of Krawg, their high leader and Baboon Hawk Messiah.

Barber

Name: Barbara and Barbonda
Alias: Barber
Highest Spawn Chance: Dine, 13.27%
Special Skills: Ninjutsu
Scissoring Capabilities: Vast

Full disclosure, I have very limited experience with Barbers. They’re one of the rarest enemies in the game, and even if they do spawn, it’s very possible their impact will not be felt for quite a while after they do.

The Barber is quite a frightening foe, always spawning in pairs, and being completely invisible until they get close. A pair of barbers will always try to pinch a player, getting them stuck between two options:
Get scissored by Barbara
Get scissored by Barbonda
Both of these options are bad. Do everything in your power not to get scissored. Unfortunately, both barbers will get progressively more active as the day goes on. The itch for scissoring gets stronger with the day, making them a massive threat later in the day.

Bracken

Name: Flowerman
Alias: Bracken
Highest Spawn Chance: Vow, 26.14%
Special skills: Murder
Social Skills: Overbearing
The Bracken is one of the spookiest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in this game. His game plan is pretty simple, track you down and kill you from behind. As soon as he spawns, he’ll know where every player in the building is and he will actively seek them out. Brackens are exceptionally intelligent, and will actively hide from you and wait for you to look away. Fortunately, Brackens are quite easy to deal with once you know they’re there.
As soon as you know a Bracken is on your moon, just glance behind yourself periodically. It might seem annoying, but it’s very hard for a Bracken to kill you if you just stay vigilant. Not too vigilant of course, as staring at a Bracken can anger it. Once they’re angered, your best bet is just to run. Their anger burns out pretty quick, and once they’re done chasing you they’ll run off again.

Bunker Spider

Name: Leggy Larry III
Alias: Bunker Spider
Highest Spawn Chance: Experimentation, 25.55%
Special skills: Tennis
Longest time on rollerblades: 1.32 seconds
Bunker Spiders are not fun enemies. The pitter patter of their many feets is loud and incredibly easy to hear, so you’ll basically always know they’re coming. In addition, they’ll mark out their surrounding area with periodic patches of webbing that will alert them to your exact location if you step on them. Since Bunker Spiders are persistent bastards, it’s likely the only way you’ll lose them is either when they kill one of your allies, or when every player has left the building.
They’re pretty slow, so you can move significantly faster than them, but once they’ve taken 3 or 4 hits of damage they get a good bit faster. More importantly, they can 2 shot you. Despite not posing a massive threat, you really need to avoid them, as their first bite will send you to critically low health. Try not to touch them whatsoever.

Butler/Mask Hornets

Name: Abraham Cocksmall
Alias: Butler
Highest Spawn Chance: Dine, 27.91% (Thank God)
Special skills: Bee chugging
Phd: Butlery, Stabbing (University of London)
Abraham Cocksmall was inducted into the Butlery Hall of Fame (located in London) back in 1944, after he jumped into the sky and absorbed a nuclear bomb that was about to hit Buckingham Palace. The heroic act left him horribly disfigured and just slightly irradiated, leading doctors to diagnose him with only one way to keep living. Bee chugging. Ever since that day, Abraham Cocksmall has been chugging bees twice a day to poison the radiation out of him just enough to survive. While this has been effective, the mental strain of being constantly filled with bees hasn’t been easy on Abraham, leading to some erratic behaviours.
Abraham will spend most of his time wandering, cleaning everything he can find. He’s quite loud while doing this, making him pretty easy to find. Luckily as well, Abraham is a little bit of a ♥♥♥♥♥. If he ever finds the employees in a group, he will hover around them sweeping beneath their feet, putting on a kind facade. Only when you’re alone will he show you his true nature, where he’ll try to stab you to death. Luckily, when killed you can take his knife and stab others, just like the old Abraham would have wanted. Only downside is all the bees in his system will begin to chase you once released. Their wrathful crusade will not be stopped now that they’ve been freed. Well, unless you shut a door on them and cage them once more. They really struggle against doors. Might be the lack of fingers.

Coil-Head

Name: Unknown
Alias: Coil-Head
Highest Spawn Chance: Offense, 11.85%
Special skills: Accidental Assassination
Social Skills: 0
The Coil-Head, if you could believe it, is actually just an awkward nerd like you. Every time he sees a beautiful employee, he convinces himself he’ll go talk to them, but as soon as you make eye contact he freezes and doesn’t know what to do. Fortunately for us, he’s not very good at talking, opting instead to literally steal your head and then walk away. I guess he figures we won’t notice he replaced it with a coil. Pretty creepy coil-head. I thought better of you.

Circuit Bees

Name: Way too many of them to list all their names
Alias: Circuit bees
Highest Spawn Chance: March, 35.00%
Special skills: Killing me (Specifically)
Value: Exceptional

The bees are the single worst enemy in the game, and yes I’m saying that based on a heavy bias, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong. These ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pride themselves on showing off their fancy ass hives to lure you in, before gruesomely murdering you in the most painful manner imaginable. Sure you can kite them but any real gamer would run right through them and hope for the best.

Earth Leviathan

Note: Earth Leviathan will always attack from below you. The image provided is objectively clickbait.

Name: Earthworm Jungus
Alias: Earth leviathan
Highest Spawn Chance: Assurance: 48.97%
Special skills: Consuming everything
Grumble volume in decibels: 85
It’s pretty hard to get girthier than the Earth Leviathan. Someone once tried, but unfortunately the Earth Leviathan just ate him and got even thicker. While size is of course all that counts, Earth Leviathan is so big that he's become substantially slower. Every time he gets close to a meal, he grumbles violently before bursting out of the ground to consume it, giving you ample time to escape. Being as he’s the vasted of them all, he can consume even the otherwise unkillable Old Bird. While this won’t usually happen, it’s pretty great when it does.

Eyeless Dog

Name: Choofy
Alias: Eyeless dog
Highest Spawn Chance: Titan, 65.04%
Special skills: Cuteness
Huggability: Vast
Despite his lack of vision, this floofy fellow is very skilled at seeking out hugs. He’s so naturally drawn to hugs, that at the sound of anything that could theoretically hug him, he will immediately dart towards its location. If you don’t give the dog a hug, you are objectively a bastard, and should be stuck in the ship watching cams like the ♥♥♥♥♥ you are.

Forest Keeper

Name: Hungus
Alias: Forest Keeper
Highest Spawn Chance: Vow, 65.36%
Special skills: Crunching and munching
Mortality: New found
Oh the Forest Keeper, how you have fallen. The Forest Keeper used to be the king of all Lethal Company exteriors, with nothing else being quite so menacing. Unable to die to anything, the Forest Keeper would roam the forests, deserts, and tundras alike, unafraid of what the world had to offer. That is, until the Old Birds attacked. Once they started deploying to formerly occupied moons, the Forest Keeper finally had a rival. He would try his best to maintain his position at the top of the food chain, but the Old Bird would prove simply too powerful. Perhaps one day, the Forest Keeper will return to its former glory, but until the Old Birds are vanquished, he will never quite be the same.

Ghost Girl

Name: ???
Alias: Ghost Girl
Highest Spawn Chance: Rend, 4.95%
Special skills: Fearmongering
Most severe condition: Chronic Laryngitis
Schizo Girl is horrifying. Ask anyone who has ever encountered a Schizo Girl. She’s a not really that dangerous but she's spooky as ♥♥♥♥, choosing to haunt only one employee at a time. This does very much so make you sound schizophrenic to your friends.
While you’re haunted, she will periodically appear behind you and start breathing heavily (because of the Laryngitis). When you hear her breathing, don’t turn around. She can’t do anything to you as long as you don’t look at her or backpedal straight into her. An encouraged method of traversing is to look at the ground when you hear her, that way it’s very unlikely you look at her by accident. After a certain number of times looking at her, she will aggro the next time you look at her. She will also aggro if this is her 6th or more time appearing in general.
Once she aggros, she’ll chase after you at a somewhat quick pace that you can easily outmatch with your sprint, but not quite with your basic movement. If she touches you, you will instantly die. Additionally, she chases you for a pretty long time, and acts as a major distraction if you’re already being attacked. Basically, she's a wee ♥♥♥♥♥ who I wish I could punt without spontaneously collapsing.

Hoarding Bug

Name: Ferdinand
Alias: Hoarding Bug
Highest Spawn Chance: Embrion, 30.60%
Special skills: Collecting
Number of fellas: Unknown and increasing
Ferdinand is quite an obnoxious pint size little ♥♥♥♥♥. Acting as part of the rival faction of lethal company, the IRS, Ferdinand is entrusted with stealing your assets to repay all the tax fraud The Company(TM) has been committing. Just like the real IRS, coming too close to Ferdinand will cause him to take up a defensive stance, and possibly go on the attack if needed. There’s a low chance that any moon you enter will be under active attack by the IRS, and if this happens, you’ll likely be in a bad situation. One Ferdinand isn’t the end of the world, but a whole facility full of them is not fun.

Hygrodere

Name: Baxter Blobulus Mcintyre
Alias: Hygrodere
Highest Spawn Chance: Offense, 15.17%
Special skills: Grovin’
Highest grossing album: The Blobudome (1997)
The hit musical talent of the late 90s, the Hygrodere is a blob shaped blob who doesn’t act as a particularly great threat 9/10 times. He’s very slow, but does deal a good amount of damage if stepped in. The best way to deal with him is to bring a boombox into the building with you, because he respects good taste in music and will leave you alone. Unfortunately for most, boomboxes are pretty inconvenient so your best bet is probably just trying to jump over it. They’re not very big and it’s very easy to do with even the slightest high ground.
Hygroderes are completely immortal, so don’t even bother trying to kill them.

Jester

Name: Trauma
Alias: Jester
Highest Spawn Chance: Rend, 14.85%
Special skills: Traumatizing
Layer of origin: Heresy
The Jester is just horrifying. The only way you can hope to defeat something as terrifying as this is to exorcise it from our world, but ever since the company outlawed religion it’s not that easy to achieve. If you see this enemy, run. Whatever you do, get out.

Kidnapper Fox

Who?

Maneater

Name: Grigory Vaugn Strudleclaimer
Alias: Maneater
Highest Spawn Chance: Vow, 14.21% (18.96% on Mineshaft Interiors)
Special Skills: Being Adorable
Appetite: Thorough
The Maneater, the sweet innocent baby boy, is truly an innocent soul. All he’ll do is walk around and consume anything he can find, just like a real baby. If he ever kills you, it’s clearly deserved as you weren’t taking good enough care of him. If you can’t pay enough attention to this sweet bastard to keep him from being tainted by the world then I don’t want you reading my guide. Please leave now.

Manticoil

Name: Jonathan B. Manticoil
Alias: Manticoil
Highest Spawn Chance: Offense, Embrion, 100%
Special skills: Existing
Ability to be a corpse: Lacking
Jonathan B. Manticoil, contrary to popular belief, is in fact just a manticoil. There were some pretty reasonable theories that the manticoil was actually the other Jonathan B. Manticoil, Martha H. Locusts husband, but then everyone remembered he died tragically in a chinese steel refinery 20 years ago. Interestingly though, Jonathan B. Manticoil (unrelated to martha) is completely unable to die, instead just spinning for the rest of eternity. It is possible he somehow learned to stop spinning and took up a permanent manticoil appearance, but it’s widely believed among experts that this is in fact, a different person.

Masked

Name: Conditional
Alias: Masked
Highest Spawn Chance: Artifice, 7.81%
Special skills: Being obnoxious
Favorite meal: You
The Masked are dinguses. You can especially tell because they’ve all got the same name. Masked can spawn in 2 ways: As per usual, at a low chance around the interior, or from one of your teammates putting on the Comedy or Tragedy masks. They’re the same speed as you, and upon seeing you they’ll stand still for several seconds. They’re really easy to avoid, and really easy to kill, but if you can’t kill them and they catch you off guard it can be pretty bad. You’ll usually only see one on a moon naturally at a time, but if you do get caught then their threat has suddenly doubled. Unsurprisingly, avoiding 2 is far more difficult than avoiding 1, and 3 even more. Basically, don’t get caught.

Nutcracker

Name: Jerome Von Shootenhauser
Alias: Nutcracker
Highest Spawn Chance: Rend, 24.75%
Special skills: Marksmanship
Favorite sport: American Football
Jerome is a terrible roommate. Never get stuck with him. He’s a really big fan of shooting people in the face and can easily punt you like a football. It’s encouraged you avoid him at all costs.
The Nutcracker is a fairly frightening foe but a very good target to dispose of. Nutcrackers are usually blind, and will wander around horse kicking anyone who comes in contact with them until they open their eye. At this point, they will start searching for someone moving, and will shoot at them the first chance they get. This is the only time they’re vulnerable, so you’ll have to act fairly quickly. Your best bet is to hide as best you can until they waste their shots, and then rush them while they’re reloading. As soon as they're done reloading, bait their shots while hiding again. If this is done successfully, you'll net yourself a nice shotgun.

Old Bird

Name: ???
Alias: Old Bird
Highest Spawn Chance: Embrion, 86.96%
Special skills: Crying like a baby
Attention span: 0.4 seconds
The Old Bird is one thick bastard. I really hope you weren’t relying on killing him, cause that’s kinda hard to do. Getting too close to this guy can result in an instant kill, even with how easy it is to avoid, and as soon as you get into line of sight, he’ll start firing ballistic missiles. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the Old Bird is very well equipped with these rockets too. Worst part about the Old Birds is they’re a bunch of whiney ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If you come into their line of sight, they’ll start crying and screaming until the last breath leaves your body. Please don’t give them the satisfaction.

Roaming Locusts

Name: Martha H. Locust
Alias: Roaming Locust
Highest Spawn Chance: Experimentation, 28.51%
Special skills: Roaming
Danger: None
Roaming Locust (Singular) is actually just one entity using an advanced arcane ritual to make herself look like a swarm of locusts. Fortunately Martha H. Locust is not a malicious person, and chooses to stay in locust form and not scare you. For a game so determined to scare you it’s pretty nice to see.

Snare Flea

Name: Bitchfaceicus
Alias: Snare Flea
Highest Spawn Chance: Assurance, 28.88%
Special skills: Danger hat
Cousin: Dropwig
Snare Flea is a bastard who should not be permitted to live. Lucky for you his health is stupidly low, at only two shovel hits. Unfortunately for you he’s also an olympic climber, using his unique ability to become spiderman to overtake the competition. What does this mean in practice? Keep your eyes on the ceiling whenever one of these is around. Fortunately it’s pretty easy to tell as they make a loud, distinct noise upon attaching to the ceiling. If you do get grabbed and neither you nor your friends have a shovel, you're basically screwed, so don't do that.

Spore Lizard

Name: Goober McGooberton
Alias: Spore Lizard
Highest Spawn Chance: Embrion, 12.46%
Special skills: Being a goober
Toxicity: Modest
Goober McGooberton, sometimes known as Sgt McGooberton or rarely as Spore Lizard, is the single greatest enemy in any video game ever. Every single moon with him on it is automatically good because of his presence. Why is he magnificent you ask? Well you see, back in the day, Spore Lizard fought in the second great war, notorious for flattening Embrion. That’s also why he’s so prolific there, as they accidentally left him in no man's land. Because he is the greatest man to ever live, he did not fear no man’s land, instead embracing it to a point where he can now produce mustard gas when threatened. If it weren’t for those company issued gas masks we’d be pretty screwed by now.

Thumper

Name: Meatman
Alias: Thumper
Highest Spawn Chance: Offense, 26.07%
Special skills: Violence
# of times disowned due to lack of vision: 7
The Thumper is kind of like the eyeless dog, except he can actually see. Technically. His vision is very lacking, and he will often walk right by you without noticing. Unfortunately, he is highly aggressive, and will often attack anything that moves. Fortunately he’s quite bad at doing murder, opting to bite his enemies many times rather than kill them as swiftly as he could. While he does hurt like hell, he’s not too hard to escape from as long as you can break line of sight.

Tulip Snake

Names: Krispie, Whispie, Craig
Alias: Tulip Snakes
Highest Spawn Chance: Adamance, 6.35%
Special skills: Flight
Sibling rivalry: Unending
I have a good friend who personally gave birth to these snakes. I don’t know how but I know he did it. I really wish I didn’t know honestly. It’s kind of horrifying. But anyways the Tulip Snakes aren’t really that scary, and as opposed to the Snare Flea, these little goobers are a good hat. Due to their impressive flying capabilities, they can help you cross the map exceptionally quickly. While it’s possible this results in your death, it’s not all that common. It’s funny they’re so good at flying, as their fathers arch nemesis is gravity itself. He always loses.

John Company

Name: John Company
Alias: He needs not an alias
Highest Spawn Chance: Your moms house, 100%
Special Skills: Soloing Old Birds
Sex Appeal: 4000%
The single rarest enemy in the game, John Company has a 0.01% chance of spawning every time you load onto a moon. If John Company is on the moon when you land, he will start off dormant, very far away from the ship. After every player has entered the facility, he will start moving.
If a player outside encounters John Company, he will stare at them briefly before sprinting headlong towards them. John Company is about 10% faster than the player character, meaning you can never quite escape. Upon making contact with John Company, he will grab the player, jump up into the air, and suplex them into the ground. If there are more players near John Company, he will suplex the grabbed player towards the rest of their team, killing any players caught in the blast radius.
The general consensus on John Company is that he was the single worst addition to the game. An enemy with an incredibly low chance of spawning who basically instant wipes your run has been dubbed "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥", and "Absolutely Stupid", but we all know it's just a skill issue. Though there will always be haters, us gamers will forever love John Company for his contributions to society, not to mention his contributions to our pleasures.

how to counter manticoil

[stag3333]

The jester one is completely untrue, what you have to do when you see a jester is jump on its head and dance there until it pops, then it'll give you and everyone else in the facility a cool surprise
