Hey! So I have been working hard on my game and recently I have come to a stop because I am now on the phase where I need to tackle monsters/enemies and their AI. I can’t think of any ideas for enemies. “enemies” also includes bosses if you have ideas for those. If you have any ideas (even the craziest) please share!
Side note : I know I could just look up stuff from different mythologies and stuff like that, but I would like them to be as original as possible.
Do your enemies need to have any basis with the game or are you just accepting anything at all? If they have some kind of foundation with the game then can you provide a brief summary on what your game’s about and its general theme so we can provide more direct ideas if any at all?
The game is an RPG based around randomly generated dungeons. The dungeons provide loot so you can make/upgrade weapons and magic. The overall theme I’m going for is similar to World Zero.
Red slimes that slowly jump towards you.
Just a few enemies:
Slimes, different powers depending on their level such as dark powers at level five or no powers at level one.
An intelligent creature that can communicate if you have the proper materials and gear, and attack you without the proper gear and materials. Purely going off the creature brain of the Bokoblin from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, just rename it and give it different design and some ways to communicate with it and some other things.
I have an idea for a boss:
Long ago, when dark magic was popular among the people of ahem whatever ur calling this game and or kingdom and or town and or something something, there was a flying creature.
So, this flying creature would have the design of different creatures, basically a hybrid. Maybe a human and horse combo, but that would be called a centaur, or a monkey and a cow and something else thats powerful and looks cool. It would attack with multiple weapons, its main one a battle axe. It’s powers would be summoning dark magic or something.
look man im trying to help and when i try to help i do this long essay.

edit 1: message me le gamelink when ur done with game so i can test it out because it sounds really fun
edit 2: i mean u said in one of the replies of someone else that it was an rpg type game
Don’t make Fire / ruby or Ice / lapis lazuli dragons, make anything Fire / ruby or Ice / lapis lazuli that is not some mythological and / or living being that you already know from real life.
Build on existing things, but try to make them the least like them.
Make up things that no one ever came up with (or that very few people ever did).
I agree with you @Confederation_Major, every game has a base enemy. Every game has a different way of their attack system and design. Thank you for saying that one thing that I didn’t say because I didn’t think of it lol.
That’s actually a really good idea. When I first read it, I thought of piglins from minecraft xD
