Every zone or biome in Trove has its own specific creatures and monsters, which can be more or less a challenge for the player. While most are hostile and will attack any nearby player, there are also a few which stray from this behavior. Killing creatures grants the player experience, a chance for equipment, and a chance for materials such as Glim, which are often used for crafting.
General Behavior[]
Hostile monsters are affected by the environment in the same ways as the player: they are subject to Environmental Hazards (mainly lava), and they can be hurt by some of the same things that harm the player. All monsters are resistant or immune to certain hazards, such as spikes and Flame Turrets. Most monsters have an advanced pathfinding system that allows them to traverse complex mazes to get to the player but cannot jump up any higher than or equal to two blocks. They will also naturally avoid holes in the ground unless the player is in one of them.
For details on specific enemy behavior, see individual enemy pages, as well as AI.
Global Item Drops[]
Most enemies drop items when killed. Enemies that can drop items have several shared possible drops, in addition to unique resources that vary by enemy type. Enemy-specific drops are detailed on individual enemy pages; the rest can be seen here.
Some NPCs that drop loot such as Pinatas do not use these drop tables.
