The very strongest creature in game is the <creature>dark archangel</creature>, she is an example of an archer creature. She attacks from a distance with a bow and arrow, attacking more effectively when further from the player (while still within range). You don't have to face her to find an archer, though, another example is the <creature>archer elf</creature>.

Certain creatures can heal even while in battle. You will see a green number like +5 pop regularly out of the heads of for example, a <creature>ratman</creature>, a <creature>stone golem</creature> or a <creature>monk</creature>. Other creatures heal through stealing life from those they attack, we call this lifesteal and the best example are the vampires like <creature>vampirette</creature> and <creature>vampire lord</creature>. When they make a hard hit against the player, they are healed by some proportion of that damage.

There are some very rare creatures in the game which only appear every 6 weeks on average, say. These are not asked for as part of the [[StendhalQuest#Daily_Monster_Quest|Daily Monster Quest]] nor do they appear in the [[StendhalFAQ#Death_Match|Death Match]]. An example is the <creature>centaur</creature>. You are very lucky if you ever find such a rare creature!


If you want to read more or learn about a specific creature, the best place to go is the [http://stendhal.game-host.org/?id=content/game/creatures main server website]. From within the game you can ask the NPC Starkad about any kind of creature. He walks around Semos Plains South and gives you information including their respawn likelihood, drops, locations, level and your suitability to fight it.
