Hydlide/Enemies

Blackam
Blackams (or Black Armors) aren't encountered until to reach the inside of Varalys' keep. They swore loyalty to Varalys and serve as his personal guards. They are the strongest and have the most hit points out of all the Armors.

Dragon
The Dragon is a one of a kind enemy that roams back and forth outside of Varalys' keep. You must be at your very strongest to defeat him, and even then, it's very difficult. But if you defeat him, he will give you a very valuable object.

Eel
The Eel roams throughout the waterways of Hydlide. Until you enter the water, he will remain underwater. When you access the water, he will rise and show his face. He is incredibly strong, so don't face him unless you're very confident.

Goblin
Goblins appear in place of the Kobolds after you reach the sixth level of experience. When you enter an area that contains Kobolds, Goblins will appear after you defeat a Kobold. Goblins are stronger, and unlike Kobolds, they are not restricted to the forest.

Goldam
Goldams (or Gold Armors) wander through one of the dungeons with the Ladyams. They protect a very precious item that helps you heal faster in the right side of the dungeon they live in.

Hyper
Hypers appear in place of the Slimes after you reach the sixth level of experience. When you enter an area that contains Slimes, defeat one and a Hyper will take it's place. Hypers are very valuable for gaining experience for the later levels of the game.

Kobold
Kobolds are very weak creatures that you will fight at the beginning of the game, along with slimes. They can hurt you, but not by very much, and they are restricted to walking on forest tiles.

Ladyam
Ladyams (or Lady Armors) guard one of the dungeons along with Goldams. They are slightly weaker than Goldams, but still dangerous. They guard an item which can raise your defense in the left side of the dungeon that they patrol.

Roper
Ropers patrol a portion of the Hydlide kingdom where a giant maze can be found. They move somewhat quickly through the halls of the maze, protecting treasures and caves. They are a good source of experience points for mid levels.

Skeleton
Skeletons are found among Blackams, and guarding special tombstones. Like Blackams, you must be at your strongest if you attempt to fight and defeat them. Otherwise, steer clear as much as possible.

Slime
Slimes, along with Kobolds, are some of the first enemies that you will fight when you begin the game. To roam many of the fields of Hydlide, and they are relatively weak, although they can still kill you in four hits when you first start. Fight them in order to gain your first few levels of experience.

Stirge
A strige is a type of dangerous blood sucking bat. They fly about aimlessly and attack mercilessly. They occupy the dungeon where the Vampire can be found. At the level you will encounter them, it is best to avoid them as much as possible.

Vampire
The Vampire lives in a dungeon by the water, south of a castle. He holds a very important item, but cannot be defeated without possession of another item, the cross, which exploits his weakness. Be sure to attack from behind as he wanders the hallways of his domain.

Wasp
Wasps escape from trees in a certain section of Hydlide. For the smallest creatures in the game, they are incredibly powerful, but their presence indicates that something very important can be found nearby.

Wisp
Three Wisps occupy the dungeon of a certain castle. In that dungeon, an item that can boost your attack power ca be found, but in order to collect it, you must either defeat or avoid the Wisps that guard it.

Wizard
The Wizard is a very deadly foe and has exactly one weakness. You'll have to experiment to determine that weakness, but even if you figure it out, it's not enough. The Wizard has the ability to clone himself, and he will always appear in twos. In order to wipe the Wizard out completely, your attack must destroy both copies, or he will continue to appear. He is in possession of something very important that he will only give up when he's dead.

Worm
The great desert of Hydlide is full of a creature that lives beneath the sand. Sand Worms roam around the desert in constant search of food. Their biggest source of food is unwise intruders. Be sure to avoid them until you are strong enough to defeat them with ease.

Zombie
The bodies of the damned that were buried in the cemetery have risen from their grave since Varalys returned. They roam around the cemetery attacking anyone who is foolish enough to enter. But they guard an important item, which happens to be locked. So you must find the key if you wish to open the chest that they protect.
