That is, unless you have a strategy\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Taking place in a retrofuturistic post-apocalyptic dystopia, Lethal Company sees players working as a contractor for a mysterious corporation in an attempt to find scrap from industrialised moons.<\/p>\n<p>With more than a dozen monsters potentially hiding behind every corner, knowing how to beat each one is naturally imperative to success if you want to earn plenty of credits.<\/p>\n<p>To get you nice and prepared for anything that turns up, we\u2019ve collated all of the possible monsters that might appear in Lethal Company \u2013 including how to defeat each one. Head below for all the details.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lethal Company monsters: All creatures &amp; how to defeat them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A total of 15 monsters currently appear in Lethal Company. A handy video from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SpnbVK3HRow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DrybearGamers<\/a> outlines them all, if you prefer a visual guide.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"All Monsters &amp; Threats and How To Counter Them in Lethal Company (w\/ Timestamps)\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SpnbVK3HRow?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>If you prefer written, here are all 15 monsters\/creatures in alphabetical order, as well as strategies to take each one down. If all else fails, you still have the shovel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Baboon Hawk<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A primate with a hawk-like beak that will be more aggressive in greater numbers. To defeat the Baboon Hawk, it\u2019s best to stick together and not provoke them when alone. They only need about half a dozen hits to take out, too.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bracken (Flower Man)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Bracken is a red humanoid with spikes that is very deadly. It\u2019s super quick, super stealthy and will try to snap your neck when your back is turned.<\/p>\n<p>Keep vigilant at all times, constantly turning around when you think it\u2019s near. Once you have the Bracken\u2019s eye-line, it will retreat \u2013 but don\u2019t corner it either, as this will only antagonise the creature and it will then kill you. We\u2019d recommend running away, but if you must defeat it, stun grenades are the way to go.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bunker Spider<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are giant spiders that parade the indoor area. Bunker Spiders take around five hits to defeat, and you want to keep an eye out for their webs and their efforts to ambush. Try to get higher ground or fight in groups to come out on top.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Circuit Bees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Electric bees that are found outside. Circuit Bees will attack to prepare their hives \u2013 so if you don\u2019t disturb them, they won\u2019t disturb you. That\u2019s because the hives are worth quite a few credits, so it\u2019s sometimes worth the risk.<\/p> <h3><strong>Coil-Head<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A creepy mannequin creature with tiny arms and a head atop a long spring. It likes to scream, but believe us, you should be screaming too. Unless you\u2019re looking at it, its head will bounce towards you and kill you in one hit. So back away slowly, and don\u2019t take your eyes off it until you\u2019re a safe distance. Don\u2019t engage!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Earth Leviathan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A huge worm-like creature that lives underground, the Earth Leviathan is most likely to spawn after dark. The ground will start to rumble when it\u2019s underneath you \u2013 at which point turn and run in the\u00a0<em>opposite<\/em> direction to where you were going. This is another one you shouldn\u2019t try to engage with. It\u2019ll kill you in one.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Eyeless Dog<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These hostile dogs also spawn outside after dark, but they\u2019re a lot easier to avoid. As their name suggests, the Eyeless Dogs can\u2019t see very well. Keep the noise to a minimum and you should sneak past them no problem. Another thing to be wary about, though \u2013 the Eyeless Dogs have a tendency to board your ship. So keep the doors closed when they\u2019re about!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Forest Keeper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Another one that comes out at night, the Forest Keeper is a giant force of nature that you should avoid at all costs. If they catch you, they\u2019ll eat you. Avoiding them should be straightforward enough, because they\u2019re so huge you\u2019ll hear their footsteps a mile away.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ghost Girl<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This one\u2019s pretty eerie. If you see the Ghost Girl \u2013 a child in a red dress \u2013 it means she\u2019s chosen you. To add to the terror, nobody can see her apart from you. You should run. She can\u2019t be killed, and she\u2019ll kill you in one.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hoarding Bug<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This indoor creature is often found collecting and guarding loot. A fellow traveller, you could say. The Hoarding Bug is a giant insect with big red eyes. It\u2019s only hostile if you attack it first, but if you fancy a fight for some treasure they\u2019re not too much of a challenge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container

class=\"im-image-caption\"> <i>Zeekerss <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Hygrodere<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Hygrodere is an ominous blue blob which is found inside, and you die instantly if you touch it. Definitely one to avoid, it\u2019s thankfully pretty slow.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jester<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Jester is a walking jack-in-the-box that\u2019s found inside buildings on high level moons. It might look innocent, but if you see one, you and your team should run. Once it\u2019s finished winding up its crank, a nasty skull will spring out of the box. It will massacre everyone pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Snare Flea<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Another insect that hangs about indoors, the Snare Flea is far more hostile than the Hoarding Bug. It waits on the ceiling for an unsuspecting victim to drop onto and suffocate. So keep an eye upwards at all times! But if a Snare Flea does land on you, it\u2019s not necessarily the end. If you have an ally, they can whack it until it lets go. And if you don\u2019t, run outside where they can\u2019t survive.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Spore Lizard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Spore Lizard might look like a dangerous entity, but if you leave it alone it won\u2019t harm you. The pink mist it emits from its tail is completely harmless, too. Sure, it\u2019ll bite you if you take the mick, but even this won\u2019t do you much damage.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Thumper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Thumper, however, is a terrifying, hostile creature that will kill you in one once it reaches you. And it can reach you fast.<\/p>\n<p>Found indoors, it looks like a shark with long limbs, and it occasionally spawns more deadly mouths to chomp you with. It can be killed, but we recommend avoiding this one. Thankfully it\u2019s deaf, so won\u2019t hear you sprinting away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
